The video would have been more powerful with better music I think. But if you can get around that and focus on the pictures...so sad. those little broken hands and feet were somebody's babies and brothers and sisters and grandkids....they would have grown up to be doctors, and police officers, and teachers and musicians...ugh. The utter waste of their little lives infuriates me. and for what? for the pure selfishness of either their moms and dads or the people in their mom and dads lives. abortion is the most selfish act there is. the images were powerful to say the least though I found the rock music a little distracting….hardly haunting.

She needn’t have worried.

That DVD – and the video above – present critical basis for reflection. Although I still harbor some philosophical differences with Dr. Miller – and my former church – this much pervades: The dumping of unborn, aborted fetuses in trash cans is eminently repugnant.

In the video above, I was profoundly moved by the beautiful, age-old rituals conferred by clergymen of my former church. Certainly, they stood in stark disparity from the images filmed in trash receptacles.

This video as well as “Unborn in the USA” presents undeniable evidence of abortion’s attendant tragedy. If we sublimate this reality – no matter how we stand on this divisive issue – we sacrifice sensitivity.

And in an issue in which human suffering resonates, that’s a liability no one should encourage.
