These pro-choicers saw the truth about abortion… and changed their minds

Being pro-life can sometimes be discouraging. Knowing that thousands of babies die every day is a heavy burden to carry.  Yet pro-lifers have cause for hope – when shown the truth, many pro-choicers change their minds.

Live Action recorded videos in which former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino described different abortion procedures using diagrams. The videos reveal the true nature of abortion and its violence against helpless human beings. You can see the videos here.

The video below shows pro-choice people changing their minds when they are shown the Abortion Procedures videos. Seeing what abortion does to babies surprised them and made them realize the violence and brutality of abortion procedures. One young man, who identified himself as pro-choice before seeing the video, said:

Watch their minds change on abortion

Five people converted from pro-choice to pro-life in the video, and one remained undecided but came away with a much less positive view of abortion.

Pro-choice people have also changed their stands on abortion after seeing photos of abortion victims. Graphic images are very controversial in the prolife movement, with some pro-lifers strongly against showing them because of the angry reactions they sometimes provoke. Other pro-lifers show them at every opportunity, carrying huge posters featuring images of abortion victims. The debate is ongoing, but these pictures, when shown in the proper context, have won converts to the pro-life cause.

Priests for Life has many graphic photos of aborted babies on their website, and has gathered testimonies from website visitors whose minds have been changed by the images and other information on abortion.

One high school student wrote (cited on clinicquotes):

Priests for Life’s photos have touched people around the world:

Another woman (again quoted on clinicquotes) wrote:

Another person wrote:

It’s not just Christians who change their views of abortion after learning more about it:

There are many more testimonies here  and here.

The undercover Planned Parenthood videos taken by David Daleiden of The Center for Medical Progress have also been a powerful tool of conversion in the battle against abortion. In an article in The Daily Beast entitled “I Don’t Know if I’m Pro-Choice After Planned Parenthood Videos,”  Ruben Navarette, Jr. writes about how the videos seared his conscience.

Navaratte says that he became pro-choice his freshman year of college, but:

But the videos made it much harder to ignore the baby.

At the end of his article, Navaratte says:

While he stops short of embracing the pro-life position, Navaratte is far less strong a supporter of abortion than he was.

All these testimonies and stories should give hope to the pro-life movement. Some people harden their hearts when confronted with the truth about abortion. They hold onto their belief that even though abortion is violent and gruesome, it should be legal. But many others change their minds.
