Abortion Images
Why the LifeLeague uses Graphic Abortion Images
The first time I saw a picture of an aborted baby, I was outraged. I was outraged that children might see the carnage depicted on the leaflets I saw and be mentally affected by it. I saw it as an obscene practice carried out by fanatics who gloried in gore; and the more the better to provoke a negative reaction from the viewer. I believed that in decent society we would not show such pictures to anyone - be they young or old. As I started to look into the issue, I saw that there was more than met the eye.
Today's society is a highly visual society. We are bombarded, influenced, attracted and repelled by advertising in it's many forms - and all calculated to catch our attention, evoke a reaction and result, ultimately, in action. This is the source of the power of graphic abortion images. Our duty is to influence. To repel. To dissuade people from murdering their children. To shock those who have been apathetic about the issue. To inform where before propaganda was the sole teacher. It is all very well being “nice” and deferring to people’s sensibilities - it is another to actually achieve a positive result.
Do more people listen to the radio or watch TV? Obviously TV is the easy answer because human beings are, as we have said, visual creatures. Remember the old adage - a picture paints a thousand words. The animal rights people understand this fully (just think of all the pictures of those poor baby seal cubs and mutilated foxes). The environmentalists also understand this (remember all of the pictures of the 
Amazon burning in the 1980s), and now, every night, we are fed pictures of melting glaciers, hurricanes and vast deserts. All of the above lobby groups have been hugely successful pushing their agenda through the use of graphic imagery. To argue otherwise is just not credible.
Let’s not forget either the pictures of Aushwitz and Belsen.
Of course pictures of the brutal reality of man's inhumanity do work. It isn't pleasant to use such images, and it does always solicit a response - usually one of anger by those people who wish the truth to remain hidden or are in denial.
With regards to being injurious to the dignity of the victim - we would say this, think of a murder victim, their body is photographed, probed and often shown at trial to the jurors in order to show the full horror surrounding the death and to bring the perpetrator to justice. Would we ever consider whisking away a murder victim, protecting the body from any examination / photography or view? Of course not.
The victims of abortion have no voice - only their broken bodies serve as testament
to the violence and cruelty inflicted upon them. So, rather than showing disrespect in showing the bodies of aborted babies, we facilitate these tiny humans in witnessing to their own destruction by the only thing they have - their form and their humanity.
The unborn baby to many is a "faraway problem". Even with ultrasound and modern scanning methods, the baby remains a mystery and it's physical attributes are largely unknown, even to the mother. In the early stages of pregnancy, the 'bump' may not even show, making it that bit harder for outsiders to associate it with the baby that it is.
Finally, the press, media, establishment, abortion industry, etc have all conspired over the years, and indeed have been very successful, in hiding the true gruesome nature of abortion. Therefore it is incumbent upon us to shine the light of truth on these dark deeds. Remember, the truth will set us free.
So what are the real benefits of their use?
It dispels the myth that a foetus is not a child, it forces people to examine their own position on the issue, it forces people to make a valued decision and it gives humanity to a "bump", cold reality as opposed to a grainy ultrasound photo.
