The streets were filled with imagery of abortion victims whose plight had been deliberately censored for years by the media. As Americans were confronted with the truth of abortion, they gradually became uneasy about the number of abortions happening every year &#8212; and uncomfortable with realization that abortion actually takes innocent life in the womb.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a video narrated by former abortionist, Dr. Anthony Levatino, showing the process of a first trimester abortion, and how it gruesomely takes a human life:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5THDmys8z30\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In 1995, <a href=\"http:\/\/roycecarlton.com\/speaker\/naomi-wolf\/\">Naomi Wolf<\/a>,\u00a0a prominent pro-choice feminist leader, stunned the pro-choice community and caused a shock wave of responses\u00a0when she stated that &#8220;the death of a fetus is a real death,&#8221; and noted the need for a &#8220;radical shift in the pro-choice movement&#8217;s rhetoric and consciousness about <a href=\"http:\/\/abortionprocedures.com\">abortion<\/a>.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0Wolf sounds nothing like the rabid pro-abortion movement in 2017, which continues to attempt to deny that children in the womb are human beings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Admission #1: The deaths shown in abortion victim images are &#8220;biological facts&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wolf\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.priestsforlife.org\/prochoice\/ourbodiesoursouls.htm\">wrote<\/a> in her October 1995 piece for The New Republic:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The pro-choice movement often treats with contempt the pro-lifers&#8217; practice of holding up to our faces their disturbing graphics.

There is a sense among us, let us be frank, that the gruesomeness of the imagery<em>\u00a0belongs<\/em>\u00a0to the pro-lifers: that it emerges from the dark, frightening minds of fanatics: that it represents the violence of imaginations that would, given half a chance, turn our world into a scary, repressive place. &#8216;People like us&#8217; see such material as the pornography of the pro-life movement.<\/p>\n<p>But feminism at its best is based on what is simply true. While pro-lifers have not been beyond dishonesty, distortion and the doctoring of images (preferring, for example, to highlight the results of very late, very rare abortions), many of those photographs are in fact photographs of actual D&amp;Cs; those footprints are in fact the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/how-one-photo-of-preborn-baby-helped-make-future-generations-pro-life\/\">footprints<\/a> of a 10-week-old fetus, the pro-life slogan, &#8220;Abortion stops a <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/listen-heartbeats-preborn-babies-young-five-weeks-captured-video\/\">beating heart<\/a>,&#8221; is incontrovertibly true.

We feel morally obligated at the same time to the mother.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alvare also addressed Wolf&#8217;s theory that simply admitting that the preborn child is a person but then advocating that you can then legally kill that human being &#8220;creates new kinds of moral problems&#8221;:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[&#8230;W]hat you have instead of breeding what Naomi would say is a hardness of heart on the part of those who won&#8217;t even consider the unborn a human being, or who take life with impunity. You create a new type of hardness of heart of people who say, now it&#8217;s even kind of a worse one, &#8216;I acknowledge it&#8217;s a human being and I assume the power to take it.&#8217; That&#8217;s a new kind of moral problem.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Wolf&#8217;s opinions were not well received by her own side, with some seeing her as a turncoat of sorts. But despite the conflicts the feminist leader had with seeing the baby as a human and yet openly approving of that baby&#8217;s life being snuffed out according to the mother&#8217;s will, Wolf correctly acknowledged that a &#8220;cheapened view of human life&#8221; was destructive. She wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[T]he pro-choice movement has relinquished the moral frame around the issue of abortion. It has ceded the language of right and wrong to abortion foes. The movement&#8217;s abandonment of what Americans have always, and rightly demanded of their movements &#8212; an ethical core &#8212; and its reliance instead on a political rhetoric in which the fetus means nothing are proving fatal&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Clinging to a rhetoric about abortion in which there is no life and no death, we entangle our beliefs in a series of self-delusions, fibs and evasions. And we risk becoming precisely what our critics charge us with being: callous, selfish and casually destructive men and women who share a cheapened view of human life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here we are, 22 years after Wolf&#8217;s comments, and we simply see more of those same &#8220;self-delusions&#8221; on the pro-choice side.
