A photo taken by the late Dr. Russell Sacco at the helm of the pro-life movement, showing the perfectly-formed feet of an aborted baby held between finger and thumb, proved that unborn babies are not mere “clumps of cells.” Half a century later, the photo is more important than ever.
Oregon Right to Life (ORTL) was founded in 1970 to oppose the legalization of abortion in Oregon. Five years later, pro-life champion Sacco co-founded ORTL’s Education Foundation.
The executive director of ORTL, Lois Anderson, 56, is a born and raised Oregonian and has been working at the organization since 1999.
“[Sacco] was an early leader and a visionary,” Anderson told The Epoch Times. “I always saw him as single-minded and fearless. It was an inspiration to me that someone who had worked for so long in the movement, and had seen so much, would still have so much passion and energy.” ‘It Was perfect’
Sacco was a practicing urologist in Oregon, a Catholic, a married father of four, and a grandfather to eight. The iconic photo that catapulted the pro-life movement was taken at a Portland hospital in 1970, during a meeting between Sacco and a fellow pro-life pathologist, for whom one professional responsibility was to destroy the bodies of babies after abortions.
The pathologist didn’t feel able to do this, explained ORTL, sharing Sacco’s story on Facebook, and placed some of the bodies into a bucket of formaldehyde. Sacco was shocked and gained his colleague’s consent to take photos of the aborted babies for educational purposes.
To convey their size and scale, Sacco held the tiny, perfectly-formed feet of one 10-week-old fetus between his thumb and forefinger; if people knew what an unborn baby looked like, maybe they would reconsider their stance on abortion.

Follow the science.
Whenever someone spouts the “clump of cells” diversion, I simply state that THEY are clumps of cells, and to prove me wrong.
Good response!
Amen 🙏🏻!!!!
God help us.
They are defenseless Americans who are being murdered.
Show all the pictures. Pure evil.
Average Democrat..”Kill It!”
100%
The uterine and abdominal walls are not paper thin. Cute picture but fake.
they can’t all be fake...
eh, maybe they are...
Average Democrat..”Kill It!”
“Kill the baby” has been the Democrat Prime Directive since about 1970.
Like Dr. Carson famously states, if it’s not human, why does everyone want the body parts?
