A Most Powerful Tool for Humanizing the Unborn

from Martin Fox, President
National Pro-Life Alliance


Ultrasounds have long been a powerful tool for showcasing the humanity of the unborn, highlighting their little hands, tiny feet, and beating hearts.

And sometimes, mothers can even catch a glimpse of their unborn child’s personality.

One mother recently got a video ultrasound, and to her delight, her unborn baby boy turned towards her and started waving at her on the ultrasound screen!

“It was really lovely to see. . . I think we’re definitely going to have a little showman on our hands,” said the overjoyed mother.

Stories like this truly are heartwarming.

They also demonstrate that ultrasounds really do have the power to humanize the unborn -- so much so that even calloused abortion industry workers have often become pro-life after viewing an ultrasound.

For example, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, founder of the so-called “National Abortion Rights Action League” (NARAL), attributed his conversion to the power of ultrasounds, stating, “I ran the largest abortion clinic in the world for two years. . .”

“I changed my mind because the new scientific data which we were getting from advanced technology persuaded me that we could not indiscriminately continue to slaughter what was demonstrably a human being.”

And ultrasounds continue to change the hearts and minds of mothers and abortion workers alike to this day.

In fact, studies indicate that up to 78% of abortion-minded women choose life after viewing an ultrasound of their unborn child.

But in the end, these ultrasounds are just affirming what you and I have long known -- that unborn children really are living human beings.

 

The National Pro-Life Alliance occupies a unique and important role in the pro-life movement. The focus of many other pro-life organizations is research, publications or counseling. These are all important and worthy activities, but the National Pro-Life Alliance is singular in its focus on passing pro-life legislation that will protect the unborn from the moment of conception onward. For more information on the National Pro-Life Alliance or to make a donation, please use this link.

Ultrasounds Have "Complicated" the Abortion Agenda

Martin Fox, President
National Pro-Life Alliance

Looking at a sonogram of an unborn baby, the humanity of the unborn couldn’t be any clearer.

And the abortion lobby knows it.

In fact, even hardcore abortion advocates admit that the advance of ultrasound technology has “complicated” their agenda -- and they fear what that could mean for the abortion industry.

One such abortion advocate, Dr. David Garrow, confessed that thanks to the power of ultrasounds, “We are a much more fetally aware society than we were when Roe came down.”

So in order to counteract the life-giving reality of ultrasounds, abortionists will do whatever they can to prevent a mother from seeing a picture of her unborn child.

Instead, they lie to her, telling her that her child is just “tissue” or “clumps of cells,” -- all while urging her not to view the one image that they know would unveil the truth.

That’s why, in addition to fighting for a Life at Conception Act to ultimately overturn Roe v. Wade, you and I must also fight for the Ultrasound Informed Consent Act at both the state and federal levels.

These bills at both the state and federal level would require that mothers be shown an ultrasound prior to any abortion, ensuring that all mothers see that picture of life.

And since research shows that 78% of abortion-minded women choose life after seeing an ultrasound of their unborn child, this bill has the potential to save countless lives.

So if you haven’t already done so, please click here to sign your petition to pass the national Ultrasound Informed Consent Act.

And after signing your petition, please forward this post to you friends.
