Small Children Crying Over Abortion .......

OK, I am not necessarily a 'pro-choice' person. With that said, I am not 'pro-life' either in that I do not believe abortion options should be illegal. I find the whole subject to be terribly personal and honestly just a terrible thing in general. I am fairly certain the vast majority of women who have ever had an abortion never thought that they would be in that position to begin with. It can be a very serious, mind twisting decision that some women have to go through. And while I do not like the thought of abortion in general, I also do not believe that MY, or anyone else's, personal feelings on the matter should be up for debate here. It is NOT your life. It is NOT your body. It is NOT your business.

To have these kids here crying and chanting to God about ending abortion, and to see some of them in tears over this, makes me sick. There is a lot in this video that disgusts me in general. The entire indoctrination of these children - all to follow some twisted take on religion that some ADULTS have gotten stuck in their heads ..... to FORCE this onto children makes me physically ill. But to parade these kids around, screaming and collapsing and crying over abortion - something they shouldn't even know the meaning of yet at most of their ages, makes me want to rip these peoples vocal cords out so that they can never, EVER poison children like this again. I WISH that this video had completely destroyed these organizers of this sick cult; but unfortunately they are still out there preaching this garbage to more kids today, in 2016.

I totally agree with you. The way those kooks made the kids cry over abortion among other things, just plain sickening!
When it comes to cases of rape, the devoutly religious pro-lifers (including the lunatics in this documentary) like to say "you cannot punish the child for the sin/s of the parent/s." Guess what though? We're being punished for what Adam and Eve did! And, King David's infant son was struck dead after a seven-day sickness because of his sins. I wonder what Becky Fisher and others like her would have to say when confronted with these teachings of the Bible...

I don't like they taught this to young children either. They cannot possibly comprehend the complicated situations many women face while trying to decide whether or not to get an abortion.

An example I always use is cancer which almost never gets mentioned during abortion debates. There have been plenty of cases of women diagnosed with cancer early in their pregnancy. They cannot get treatment if they are pregnant and cancer doesn't wait. So then they're often faced with the decision of either get an abortion and there's a chance they will live, or don't get an abortion and it's likely both the mother and the baby will die. Certainly the mother has the right to choose not to get treatment and see what happens, but it certainly doesn't seem fair to deny treatment to a woman that wants it because shes #1 pregnant #2 not allowed to get an abortion.

An argument against abortion is that it's denying a right to life. In a life threatening situation like cancer, that's exactly what you would be doing to the woman if she was denied an abortion.

Ooh, that's an excellent example! Not just cancer, but other complications can arise which cause a threat to the pregnant woman's life and well-being. I do find it odd how the hardcore pro-lifers often don't care about the life and well-being of the woman, since they are pro-life.

You know another thing I often bring up with pro-lifers? Molar pregnancies. Most of them didn't even know that kind of pregnancy exists.

If you don't know what that is, it's when an egg gets fertilized (which is when they often believe life begins, at conception) but the egg is non-viable so it becomes a benign tumor.

While there's opinions on whether or not this constitutes a pregnancy. Medically speaking it is. Therefore, taking out the tumor is an abortion because an egg has been fertilized and in rare cases there is a non-viable, abnormal embryo present. The tumor absolutely has to come out. If abortions were made illegal completely, this would be illegal even though it's a life threatening condition that will never produce a viable baby.

I had a hard time with the "7-week-old" fetus having fully developed ears, fingers, and toes. It was a miniature baby doll. Where was the tail?
