When I was about 14 weeks pregnant, I got scared out of my wits and decided I would abort my child. I had gotten the money together, and I had the appoinment set up and all. Well, that morning when we got ot the building, there were abortion protestors outside with pictures of charred bodies and ripped apart fetuses. All of a sudden, I was like, "wait a minute, how can I do this? What will she look like? How could I influence her life?" So, I was about to get out of the vehicle and suddenly I said, "I can't do this" I was just so scared of the way the fetuses looked and miserable thinking that I may one day wonder how she grew up. (at the time, I just assumed it was a girl). Well, now, my son is 3 months old and is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I'm scared about whether I'll ever have to tell him I almost aborted him and what he'll think of me then. I love him more than anything else in the world, and I 100% regret ever thinking about aborting him.

I never really had a strong opinion one way or the other about abortion. I never really thought it was right, but I wasn't sure if I thought it should be illegal. After I saw you trucks driving around my town I got on your website and cannot believe what I saw. This is in no way right and should be stopped.

After hearing the presentation and seeing these pictures, I had to know more. I have spent the last two days researching abortion during all of my spare time...there's so much I didn't know and it breaks my heart. Before all this I was pro-life, but I was okay with abortions in the case of rape, incest, or to save the mother's life -- not anymore.

I used to be a diehard pro-choicer. I ran fundraisers for numerous pro-choice organisations. I never really researched any of the claims of the pro-life community because I just thought like everyone else, that it's just a bunch of tissue until about 4 or 5 months. Being very ambitious, I swore that I would get an abortion if I ever got pregnant. Nothing was going to keep me from attaining my goals and dreams. Well, now that I am living in Asia, I have seen the tragedy of abortion and stem-cell research... I cried all weekend, several weeks ago, after I saw the videos on the site and at abort73.com. You must know that I was very involved in the abortion industry and did most of my dissertations around abortion and pro-choice issues for my degree in Political Science and Women's Studies. But those days are over. I will now use my international affairs talents to help save lives and bring enrichment to everyone around the world. I am adopted, so I am glad there were people around to help my birthmum not to get rid of me. I love my life, despite the many trials I have had to go through. I realise now that we shouldn't judge the life of a person, just because they are born to unfortunate circumstances... Thank-you for this website. You sure changed my mind.

I always thought that abortion was a right. I am very pro-choice, and I never thought that abortion was so horrific. I always thought the baby wasn't formed yet and that it wassn't alive but I've found through this website that they are very much alive and formed. It is horrible that mothers can do this to their children and know what they're doing. Just because the baby is inside of someone doesn't mean it doesn't have the right to live. If you made the mistake of getting pregnant take responsibility for your actions. No one should die because of someones lack of responsibility, especially a defensless baby.

Also I always said that if I were in the position in which I got pregnant by someone unwanted {rape} that I would have an abortion, but now I take back all of my words because everyone deserves a chance to live and no-one deserves to die in such a cruel way. Im only 13 years old and if I ever got pregnant at this young I would keep my baby no matter what position I'm in, even if I have to give my baby up for adoption so that he/she can live a better life.

I didn't know how cruel it (abortion) is to the babies. It is more cruel than genocide of Jews, World Trade Center bombing or anything - because the killing is ordered by the babies' own parents.

Before, I figured it was the mothers decision if she wanted to abort or not. Now that I have seen the pictures, and all that, I realize that the baby is REALLY living inside of you, and it should be considered murder if you abort a child.

I had an abortion in 1997 and since that time I have suffered emotionally from it. I think,before my procedure I was more pro choice but my views have now changed after seeing firsthand the horrors abortion does to babies and to the women who have the procedure.

How has this website influenced your thinking?

I think it's really easy for someone to say that they are pro choice and not even know exactly what goes on. Even though I never would of personally of gotten an abortion I was very pro choice but now I am much more pro life. Abortions are way to easy to get. It just makes irresponsible people not have to deal with their responsibilities and get an easy way out. Before you know it they have had 10. I am so glad "partial birth" abortions are illegal now and if ALL abortions don't become illegal they should ATLEAST make getting an abortion harder than it is! I don't even think these women know how it is done or what the babies look like at the certain stages. They should all be well informed before!

It is horrendous to see how developed the fetus is at the time of abortion. It is hardbreaking to know the reality of our acts. I believe if there was more information out there on abortion many more women would change their mind on going through with the procedure. I myself was considering it, but after seeing all this I don't think I have the heart to go through with it.

Before I came to this site, I never saw Abortion for what it really was. It is basically killing our own kind. If I went outside my house and killed somebody I would go to jail. These mothers go and kill their child that is in their womb. And that is llegal? Where is the thinking in that? Killing is killing, and this site has helped me understand that.

It changed the way I think because I got pregnat when I was 16 then I found out that I was pregnant again.

I use to think that as long as you were no more than 2 to 3 months than its not really a baby. Now I know they are really human beings and that would be a really hard thing for me to consider doing ever in life. That really changed my way of thinking about abortions. Thats nothing to be playing with. That is a very serious situation.
