I agree. These young girls are told it is just an "unviable tissue mass" and are not allowed to view pictures of a developing embryo. When they see these pictures later and realize that the "tissue mass" they were encouraged to abort had fingers, toes, a tiny nose and mouth, and the definite appearance of a baby, many are overcome with guilt. If they are blessed with more children later, they ask themselves how they ever could have destroyed something so precious.

That is why the pro-abortion crowd does not want candidates for abortion to be fully informed about fetal development or to have a 24-hour waiting period prior to the abortion. They know that most of them DO have a conscience and would reconsider if given the appropriate information and were allowed to think about it.

Abortion is the Choice of Satan, the father of lies and a MURDERER from the beginning.

Can Ad Mod edit the Title now? (Suggestions below...) This title should NOT be on the FR forum, giving people false info. (People may see the headline & not read the article.)

Just a few thoughts:

1. Generally (at least in my experience) a "Barf Alert" is added when the CONTENT of an article is BS. This article clearly IS NOT.

2. The source of this article, LifeSiteNews, is 100% pro-life and I didn't see a point in altering the title.

3. We are not supposed to alter titles in the first place.

Some people don't like to change titles when they post, but if the article / study is bogus, it should be CLEARLY stated in the TITLE.

The study IS BOGUS and the article CLEARLY points it out.

One big problem is the way the issue is framed.

If the study was honest and said, “Killing one’s baby by dismemberment,
has no Negative Psych Consequences,” rather than
discussing having a “procedure,” the result would be quite
different!

Of course it’s flawed! They already knew what they wanted the result to be, so I’m sure they just worked backwards from there to make the data fit their conclusion.

The babies would disagree, if they could.

And yet it’s not the least bit surprising.

So the depression my daughter underwent following an abortion she was pressured into having by the man who got her pregnant was not real? BS.

Didn’t Kinsey pioneer that form of ‘scientific inquiry’?

Although Kinsey didn't invent the technique (the business of scam artistry having an ancient lineage) he certainly used it to excess.

He took up the topic of pedophilia and then went to a prison to interview a convicted pedophile.
