The anti-abortion leaders really have a larger purpose. They oppose most ideas and programs that can help women achieve equality and freedom. They also oppose programs that protect the health and well-being of women and their children.
Anti-abortion leaders claim to act "in defense of life." If so, why have they worked to destroy programs that serve life, including prenatal care and nutrition programs for dependent pregnant women? Is this respect for life?
Anti-abortion leaders also say they are trying to save children, but they have fought against health and nutrition programs for children once they are born. The anti-abortion groups seem to believe life begins at conception, but it ends at birth. Is this respect for life?
Then there are programs that diminish the number of unwanted pregnancies before they occur: family planning counseling, sex education, and contraception for those who wish it. Anti-abortion leaders oppose those, too. And clinics providing such services have been bombed. Is this respect for life?
Such stances reveal the ultimate cynicism of the compulsory pregnancy movement. "Life" is not what they're fighting for. What they want is a return to the days when a woman had few choices in controlling her future. They think that the abortion option gives too much freedom. That even contraception is too liberating. That women cannot be trusted to make their own decisions.
Americans today don't accept that. Women can now select their own paths in society, including when and whether to have children. Family planning, contraception, and, if need be, legal abortion are critical to sustaining women's freedom. There is no going back

Why didn't you show any of your younger pictures? You know, the ones when you were just cells? That is obviously a 3rd trimester picture, and I'd like the name of the clinic that performed it. You won't find any abortionist to do 3rd trimester abortions, unless something is wrong with the child or mother. Nice try though, appealing to the ones that can't think.
The only one with a mental illness would be you.
Actually, your picture and the fact that you can obviously type, really makes abortion look good.
I mean, from your picture, and you typing this before you even learned to talk yet, says that a person can get an abortion, and the child will still be able to do all the things a living breathing adult can do! What was your cause again?

Notice how the PC's hate what you are doing! It's brilliant!
Notice how they complain about the harm they agree with.
And they are the first to say that the picture is only dead tissue. And then they get all emotional!
What weirdness we witness this day and age!
Evil doesn't like the light of truth.

Dear God, why aren't you dead yet?
But, in answer to your question: Because it gives us all those yummy fetuses for stem-cell research!
