The Silent Scream


"If every member of Congress could see that film, they would move quickly to end the tragedy of abortion."
– Ronald Reagan (on The Silent Scream)

The Silent Scream is a 1984 documentary that shows, through ultrasound technology, what happens to a fetus during an abortion.

The film was narrated by Bernard Nathanson, a physician who admitted to being personally responsible for 75,000 abortions and was a major contributor in legalizing abortion in America but has since converted from being “pro” to “anti” abortion advocate after he himself witnessed an on-going abortion via ultrasound imaging.

It’s easy for someone to justify a war when it’s taking place a thousand miles away; not so when the battlefield is near one’s own backyard. The sight of dead and injured soldiers up-close, at the very least, should cause even the warmongers to reconsider their position. Through this documentary, pro-abortion advocates could view an abortion up-close and see the true nature of what they are justifying. 

WARNING: this documentary contains explicit material. Without a doubt, this is a difficult film to watch; the sight of another human being, a fetus, in excruciating pain and making a “silent scream” while being helplessly murdered is surely more than most (including this blogger) could bear.
