Abortion is a procedure used to kill a child-in-utero. Many people who had been pro-choice have become pro-life when they see and understand what abortion actually does. In 2016, Live Action partnered with a former abortionist to produce videos describing, with the use of diagrams, various abortion methods. The picture shown to the left is taken from the video describing second trimester Dilation and Evacuation (D & E) abortion, also referred to as a dismemberment abortion. See
www.abortionprocedures.com for all the videos. A video describing the pill abortion is also included in the set, along with aspiration (or suction) abortion, the most common procedure, used in the first trimester, and induction abortion, used in the third trimester (after 24 weeks). Other videos available have interviews with Dr. Levatino, including one in which he describes why abortion is never necessary to save the life of the mother.
Live Action has shown these videos to people on the street, and several who first described themselves as pro-choice immediately changed their mind after watching the video. A national survey of “pro-choice” women who watched one of the videos demonstrated that 32% said that the videos caused them to view abortion “less favorably”. (1) The videos have been viewed over 42 million times, but there are still many people who have not seen them. Have you seen them?
