For many pro-lifers, the road to ending abortion<\/a> begins with changing hearts and minds. While many Americans say they support Roe v. Wade<\/em>, the reality of what abortion procedures are like continues to be elusive to most, as abortionists tend to not advertise just how gruesome these procedures are. But what happens when people are confronted with the truth?<\/p>\n

‘That’s, like, mutilation right there’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two men were interviewed by Live Action on the street, and asked to give their thoughts on abortion. The first supported it wholeheartedly. “It’s a person’s right,” he said. “The right to choose, of anything — like, you get to choose your clothes, you get to choose what you want to wear, why don’t you get to choose whether you want to — what goes in your body and what goes out of your body, in the same sense?”<\/p>\n

The second man, while he still said that it should ultimately be a woman’s decision, said that he personally thought abortion should be restricted to the first trimester. “I think the best time to do it is before the baby actually has, like, a heartbeat,” he said. “So you’re at least not killing a life, and you’re just killing, like, the process.” He then explained that he thought the baby’s heart starts beating at around two months, which is when the baby starts becoming a human being. (A baby’s heart actually starts beating just three weeks after fertilization<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The first man affirmed that he supported abortion through all three trimesters of pregnancy, while the second explained that while he thought it should be a woman’s choice, the humanity of the preborn child should be considered. They were then shown a video of a first trimester dilation and curettage<\/a>, or D&C, procedure, through a 2D animation narrated by former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino. Things changed after they viewed the video:<\/p>\n
