I noticed that according to Newsweek data 51% of all abortions
are performed within 8 weeks of the beginning of pregnancy.
It also has little picture of what a fetus looks like
at that stage. It totally resembles a shrimp if the pucture is accurate. 

Anyway, there is not a thing that could support such anti-abortion
films as "Silent Scream". The film - widely characterized as fraud -
deals with 12-week old fetus' abortion, but the idea is that all
abortions should be outlawed.
What about 51% done early? Why ban those? Nobody could even cook up
a fraudulent film. Also - what about IUD again? Any opinion on
that from pro-life thought?
