Ugh.

Nobody wants to watch it, I guess. I didn't watch it. But from the linked article:

They may be the kind of images used by anti-abortion activists, but Kaye also doesn't shy from showing pictures of a kneeling and bent-over naked woman who died after performing a botched abortion on herself with a wire coat hanger.

That probably is a reference to the famous picture of Geraldine Santoro, who was 6 1/2 months pregnant when she and her baby died. At that point she probably didn't want an abortion, but she was afraid of the return of her estranged husband, and her boyfriend, instead of protecting her, stuck something sharp inside her and left her to bleed to death.

But why let messy facts get in the way of good propaganda, and why bother showing the women and girls who died of legal abortions too?

I've never understood this argument when used to support the Pro-Choice position.

It's kind of like trying to legitimize the presence of Concentration Camps by showing pictures of a Nazi who died by trying to create his own home-made gas chamber.

The issue is not whether she had access to a trained medical professional to kill her child. The issue is still that she was trying to kill her child. The tragic loss of her own life does not change that fact.
