The Guardian has published<\/a> a highly criticized article which purports to show photographs of aborted fetal tissue in the early stages of life, allegedly captured by an abortion activist organization. The images, which are said to show “pregnancy tissue”\u00a0or “gestational sac” with “no visible embryo,” were reportedly published to counter “misinformation” and were supplied to the Guardian by the\u00a0MYA Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While pro-lifers and pro-life groups immediately pointed out the misleading nature of the photos, the images as presented even seem to contradict development markers published by more well-known abortion groups like Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Federation and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG).<\/p>\n

In a video<\/a>\u00a0(see below), which was linked by The Guardian from the MYA Network’s website<\/a>, co-founder\u00a0Joan Fleischman<\/a>\u00a0claimed that “through nine weeks of pregnancy, there is no visible embryo.” Fleischman then goes on to show the same fetal tissue photographs they supplied to The Guardian, which more closely resemble\u00a0cotton balls<\/a>\u00a0than actual embryos, and range in stages from 4-9 weeks of pregnancy.<\/p>\n
