I found out I was pregnant when I was [a teenager]. For a few weeks my family really pushed me to consider abortion, but it was never an option in my mind. [I now have a son.] I have never seen anything like the pictures that you guys have posted on your website, and when I saw them I was absolutely horrified. While I never even considered abortion, other women do, and I think that if they were to see the resources that you guys have, they would never look back or consider it again. I really appreciate what you guys are doing, because I know how beautiful my son is, and I hope that through your outreach, other women will see the gift that their children are. Even if they can't, I hope that they will find adoption a better option than taking the life of these poor babies….I just wanted to say thank you so much for posting those pictures, they made such an impact on me, and I hope they do the same for others, especially those considering abortion. - Jessica

You know before I became pregnant myself I really believed in pro-choice that yes even though abortion is a tragedy that it didn't matter because denying rights is against the constitution. Then I saw my seven week old fetus's heart beating on an ultrasound, even though that little baby couldn't live outside me on it's own, it was still a living being and still had all the parts that anyone else does... if women really could see that, I would think there would be so many less abortions and more adoptions. The images on your site are hard to look at, but they are very important for human understanding.

Everyone, no matter what religion or walk of life, should view these images.  I am Roman Catholic, the adoptive mom of two wonderful children… Even though these images were difficult to view, thank you for your commitment to getting this information out there.  I am overcome by sadness for all of the little lives lost to such a horrendous act.  The only comfort is imagining these precious angels gathered around our Lord in heaven.  Now I have to go and kiss our own two angels tucked away in bed for the night.  The Lord has truly blessed my husband and me through the gift of adoption.  I just wish so many others chose that option so that life could be preserved for all human beings.

I'm 18 years old and 24 weeks into an unplanned pregnancy. Abortion had never been something I would've thought about until I got the news that my baby boy had a series of abnormalities that can be quiet serious. I was pressured to have an abortion at 20 weeks.  Everybody thought it was for the best and assumed that since I am young that I could not take the pressure of having a special needs child. People disapproved when I told them I wanted to keep him. Seeing these pictures makes me feel so sad knowing that so many healthy babies with so much potential are put to death - for what valid reason?! These are human beings who are treated like they are worth nothing! I wish I could take in every single baby that isn't wanted and give them a loving home. …if these pictures don't change people’s minds, I don't know what will.

I was crushed to see the pictures.  I’m the “each to his own” type of person and I think that now that I’ve seen the pictures, my whole outlook has changed.  Why would anyone want to do this to a life?  I am a mother of three and all I want to do right now is go hug my children!

Thank you for having this page. I am pregnant for the third time with my third child. During my last pregnancy and this one I look at the photos so I know what my baby looks like. I can't understand ever aborting a baby. I am graced by God to be carrying a baby straight from Heaven. I am doing God's work and it kills me knowing that these little angels were not loved. I can't thank you enough for these photos, Please continue to do what you do. These pictures do matter.

I am so hurt at the sight of these pictures! The fact that the people who did this, the parents and doctors, are all walking around breathing air today....why? I went to Iraq in 2003.  I was pregnant when I went but apparently not far enough along for the test to pick up. While in Iraq I had a miscarriage and to this day I feel tremendous guilt for not searching the port-a-potty for the baby. Since then I have had two beautiful girls, 10 1/2 months apart. But not a day goes by that I don't at some point wonder what that child would have been like or look like. To see what people do intentionally makes me so furious. I torment myself daily for a child that I lost for reasons unknown while these murderers slaughter these innocent babies!

After viewing some of the abortion pictures I broke down and cried. I have two small boys and I could never imagine being without them.  Now after I've seen these horrific pictures of innocent lives taken this will only fuel my own passion for life even further. Thanks and God bless you for this ministry.

I do not believe in abortion. This site made me realize even more how terrible aborting a baby can be at any stage during a pregnancy. I have been pregnant three times and never thought about aborting my kids regardless of my situation. I cannot see how a woman to do that to a helpless child. The pictures of all those babies made me cry. They did not deserve this type of death. I think you have a great site. I will encourage all my friends to take a good look at this site and maybe they will realize that taking an unborn child’s life is just like committing murder. Thank you!

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and I would never do that to my baby. I want to get sick when I saw those pictures. If someone doesn't want their baby there is always adoption, those babies did nothing wrong. That makes me want to cry about all the lives that are being taken. Babies in the womb are alive too and maybe people don't realize that, and it's horrible that they don't.

Thanks and God bless you for this ministry.

I commend you for standing up for our unborn children. I can't believe that abortion was ever legalized in our country. I am a mother of one ... I love him with all of my heart and can't imagine how a woman could kill her own child. So many people in this world don't believe in our God and don't value life at all, and especially the lives of innocent babies. You know your country is in trouble, when it values the lives of animals, more than humans. You can go to jail faster for hurting an animal than harming a child. We live in a very warped, God-less society, that's all about being selfish. … I pray for revival in our land. We need a supernatural outpouring of the Holy Spirit to break the yoke of bondage of sin on America. -- Dawn

God blessed my husband and me three times with three beautiful little girls. Each pregnancy I felt wonderful and I was thrilled to have a new life forming in me. Your pictures made me cry over the loss of a little child that God had a plan for. I have been offering up all Masses and saying rosaries for the protection of the unborn. I will begin adding a prayer that God will have mercy on us and forgive us for allowing such an abomination to continue – Myra

I have been against abortion since the moment as a little girl I learned that it existed in our world. There is nothing that I hate more than abortion. I have always been passionate about it, but I am now expecting my first child and it has become that much more horrifying to me that this evil process takes place. I am sitting here drowning in my tears, and praying a prayer of thanksgiving that I grew up with the knowledge of what abortion really is. Thank you for this website. It is easy to feel alone in your passionate stance against something so controversial and reassuring to know that my passion is met by many others.

Even though these images were difficult to view, thank you for your commitment to getting this information out there. I am overcome by sadness for all of the little lives lost to such a horrendous act. The only comfort is imagining these precious angels gathered around our Lord in heaven. Now I have to go and kiss our own two angels tucked away in bed for the night. The Lord has truly blessed my husband and me through the gift of adoption. I just wish so many others chose that option so that life could be preserved for all human beings. -- Mario

I have always been Pro-life even when I thought I was unable to have a child, but the Lord blessed my husband and me with [a son] at 28 weeks gestation. We prayed, cried and loved that little miracle safely home after 85 days in NICU …. I could never imagine my life without him! …My heart physically hurts for all these people who are involved either as parents or as the murderers of these innocent angels. I thank God for people and organizations like yours who speak for those who can not speak for themselves. Praying for you all - Merisha

I am 23 years old, for the longest time I have resented the trucks that drive around with pictures of aborted babies on them and this is why. When I was 18, I was 4 1/2 months pregnant, I was so excited, because every child is a gift from God, I was going to be the best mom ever, but my heart was torn out when I went in for my monthly prenatal visit and the doctor couldn't find the heart beat. … For the longest time I was a mess, I couldn't cope with life as it was, but life moved on. Well things are so different for me now, I have a beautiful 18 month old daughter, she is my world. I was on your web site tonight, because honestly I didn't understand. I now say thank you! I didn't realize the MURDER going on everyday in America, I am saddened to come to the TRUTH about abortion, I always felt like it wasn't fair for me, someone that didn't have a choice to have to see those images, now I know we all need to educate ourselves on this issue! Thank you, Abby 

I just wanted to thank you for the educating pictures you put up on your web.  I have such a heavy heart thinking that this could have ever been legal!   To take an innocent life is the worst thing anyone could do, but to take one from some one who never had a chance to say "no, I want to live" is even worse.  I have a 5 month old daughter and I couldn't imagine my life without her.  I never even knew they could perform "partial birth abortions".  To me abortions are horrible.  They are murder. I believe everyone weather they be 2 months in the womb or 20 years old, has a right to life!!!  So again thank you for your educating photos and information on the bill passed banning PBA.

I'm a 17 year old senior in High school, and in about 6 weeks I will be having a beautiful, healthy baby girl that I know god has given to me! And I just want to Thank all of you for doing what you do and for being so graphic on your web site. Girls really have no idea at all what truly happens to their beautiful, innocent babies, and they really need to know! And I really want a PRO LIFE sticker for my car, if you know how I can get one please let me know! Thank you and please keep doing what you are doing! May GOD protect and keep you safe.  

I have watched and listened to you many times on EWTN, Fr. Frank. Thank GOD there is a group of people in this country who are finally trying to taking back the rights of the unborn child. The photo’s in this article are breath taking...the perfect little bodies of each little person, hacked to death by the devil himself...I am a Registered Nurse and have NEVER participated in anything as atrocious as this. It reminds me of the Jew’s in World War II and the Cambodian Holocaust no one ever talks about. Three of my 5 children are adopted. I thank God their mothers did not kill them, but chose to deliver them to me. If there were more positive adoption counseling and information available and if everyone...could just do something about ONE child...this would stop. Please keep doing the work your are about and I will lift your name and effort in prayer. Our Lord never intended this to be the answer to a social problem. God be with you in this endeavor. -ALV

Please stay strong in your work to halt abortion in the US and hopefully worldwide.  I pray for you often, but as a mother I can't even fathom the horror that you have revealed abortion to be.  As a young woman I stood by the pro-choice people because I had no concept of what new life was.  When I gave birth to my first child, I realized that this child that had made me sick for so many months was a most precious gift from God.  I can't think about or look at your photos of abortion as I know how horrific the process is.  I am glad there are people like you willing to stand up and fight for this cause.  Often people say they would never have an abortion but they think it should be a woman's right.  To me that is the same as saying I don't believe in murdering or stealing but if someone else wants to do it that is his right.  Abortion is wrong.  I don't understand why so many accept it.  God Bless You in all you do. – Margaret

Father Frank Pavone: Thank you for the e-mails and the images.  This keeps reminding me to pray to end abortion and for the truth to really come out!  I see these images of aborted babies as very holy human beings.  I remember being so proud of each of my three daughters as I carried them.  I remember eagerly studying what they looked like; each and every stage was so very special.  -- Tommie

I read the sample chapters on your site about the aborted babies and I looked at the pictures. When I first saw them, horror washed over me. In that moment I desperately wanted to close your site, the look of those murdered babies causing my stomach to roil with nausea. I'm not a Catholic, but I am a Christian. I have never condoned abortion on any level. …Looking at those broken bodies, those horrible pictures of those babies, broke my heart and brought tears streaming from my eyes. … -- Christine 

 I would like to commend you on all that you are doing for the Pro-Life movement.  I'm 27 years old and have always been pro-life.  I recently have become more passionate about it since the birth of my own baby 3 months ago.  I've seen pictures of abortions and it breaks my heart, every picture I see, I see my daughter and it's like they're murdering her.  An innocent beautiful life.  Thank you for trying to educate the world as to what abortion is, what it looks like, and the damage it does to all that are involved.  -- Andrea L. 

My name is Stephanie, I am a mother of 4.  I just had my 4th baby 3 months ago and I couldn't be happier.  I feel babies are a gift from God.  I saw many abortion sites on the Internet and I cannot believe that people still think its ok to kill an innocent baby.  Why is it still legal?  I saw the pictures on this site and I cried for those poor babies that lost their lives to abortion.  I showed a number of people those pictures and they could not believe what they saw.  I think that it is good that you have those pictures posted so that people can see the truth about what abortion really is.  I often hear people saying about the "choice" and how it’s not really a baby until it takes its first breath and such.  But I think that they are avoiding the truth.  My opinion is that people are taking feminism too far.  Everyone has a right to life.   How can abortion be stopped?  I really want to help the pro-life cause and save a baby's life.  They don't deserve to be aborted.  Babies are precious no matter how they came about.  I really enjoy your site, and if there is anything I need to do to help stop abortion please let me know. -- Stephanie 

I just wanted to thank you for what you are doing here, and thank anyone who participated in rescuing the remains of the innocent little babies, and respectfully, lovingly burying them.  I have seen a baby in real life that is comparable to many of these children. The child is mine, but this was a result of an involuntary miscarriage, and so for many years since when I would see pictures like this I would become very depressed, feeling guilty as though there were something I could have done for my daughter, ( I feel she was a girl, anyway) whom I have named Caitlyn Elizabeth. Now, realizing that such pictures could save children who would otherwise be killed, I see the use of them in a different light. Now I have come to realize that you are honoring them as human beings, real children who had the right to live taken from them, and hopefully their memory may come to save other little ones. Having miscarried, I can never understand why anyone would or how they could possibly even consider abortion. Perhaps it is because I got to see my own baby after she had died and passed into my hands - not even at the hospital. I knew, as I always did, that she was a person, she was my daughter, and I love her as I always have. Now I see that what you are doing for others is similar. This is intensely painful, as is all death, but people have to know why this is not just any old "choice" but the choice to murder, preferably before they would choose to do so or aid someone in the action.  Peace, and May God Bless you in your works and in your lives. - R

Dear Fr. Pavone and staff: Please stay strong in your work to halt abortion in the US and hopefully worldwide.  I pray for you often, but as the mother of four I can't even fathom the horror that you have revealed abortion to be.  As a young woman I stood by the pro-choice people because I had no concept of what new life was.  When I gave birth to my first child, I realized that this child that had made me sick for so many months was a most precious gift from God.  A later pregnancy spontaneously aborted at 16 weeks.  It was the saddest experience I have ever been through.  I never realized how much I already loved that little child.  I can't think about or look at your photos of abortion as I know how horrific the process is.  I am glad there are people like you willing to stand up and fight for this cause.  Often people say they would never have an abortion but they think it should be a woman's right.  To me that is the same as saying I don't believe in murdering or stealing but if someone else wants to do it that is his right.  Abortion is wrong.  I don't understand why so many accept it.  God Bless You in all you do. -- Margaret

I am 22 years old and I am 22 weeks pregnant.  I was having trouble finding life like pictures to see how big my son was. So I found your website, and first of all I would like to say thank you for making such information known. …not, I just don't know how a mother can do such a thing, and to think that it happens every 20 seconds is appalling. God have mercy on them, on us, and the awful world we live in.  Thank you once again for the information and I hope that your hard work sends the message that was loud and clear...."He lives." One day all of us will stand in judgment. How I long to see that day, where our hearts are filled with good, and things like this never happen. -- Melissa, North Carolina

I found your website on abortion while surfing the internet and I wish every pregnant woman could see those horrible pictures. I'm a new mother of a 3 month old baby boy and he is the most joy I have ever experienced in my life. Thank you for what you’re doing. -- Monica, TX

I have a nine moth old baby boy and the moment I saw these pictures brought tears to my eyes.  I did not matter that I was in the Marine Corp, I felt so much pain in me from seeing these pictures... -- DW

I am currently twenty weeks pregnant with my second son. I just viewed the pictures of the aborted babies and I can not stop crying. I can not understand how anyone can believe that abortion is anything but murder. I would love to get your newsletter and see how I may help, even in a small and insignificant manner. -- Marie

I was surfing the web, checking different websites for I am eight weeks pregnant and came across this website and I browsed through it and I must say the pictures where very disturbing! I commend you for what you are doing, trying to stop abortion. I love this baby that I am carrying with all my heart and would do nothing to harm her! I could never think of getting rid of it! Abortion I believe is evil and needs to be stopped! As I sat here and looked at those pictures, I cried for the babies, they didn't ask to be killed, I cry for my own but I cry for her knowing that she is coming to a wonderful home with two parents that want her more than anything in this world! I cry for those babies that are murdered by selfish people. I just wanted to let you know what you are doing is good!  Babies shouldn't have to pay the price with there lives for the parents.  Please keep up the good work. -- Sara

I am 24 years old and pregnant for the first time.  After reading some of the testimony and seeing some of the pictures….I can’t imagine things being so bad that someone would want to do that.  -- Ericka B., Canada

I was surfing the web trying to find a picture of my fetus at his stage when I stumbled across your site. Interested right away I followed the links to the pictures of the aborted children. I am only 19 yrs old and I was pressured to have an abortion. I stood strong and I am currently still pregnant. I would never take my child's life. No matter how young the fetus is, it IS a child. This site opened my eyes to a different level. I never looked down upon people who chose abortion. My views have changed tremendously. All babies no matter how far along ARE children. Thank you for opening my eyes. I will surely pass this site along. I am behind you 100% -- KL

While searching for information on the development of babies in the womb I stumbled across your site.  Knowing that I probably didn't want to look at the pictures, I felt compelled to.  I can't really explain why.  As a pregnant woman and as a Catholic I found them very haunting and I think those images will stay with me forever.  I couldn't bring myself to enlarge the images as I could already see how horrific they were.  I don't really know what I'm trying to say.  Part of me wishes I hadn't looked, another part of me is glad that I know I could never do that to my child.  This is my 4th baby and people seem to think I'm rather foolish whereas I feel my husband and myself are rather blessed.  I think people need to be made aware of the true sadness behind abortions and I believe that all the babies deserve a proper funeral, and not to just be thrown away in the rubbish.  Thank you for reminding me just how precious this life inside me is. -- Teresa Sharkey, UK

I stumbled across your site whilst searching for some fetal development sites. I was obviously disturbed to see the pictures of the aborted babies and cannot believe the total lack of respect for life that any of these people have clearly lacked, how can they say this is a "job" Its sick to be blunt. These are professional people like myself (a nurse), who carry out these procedures on a daily basis. During my nurse training I was given the choice to "opt out" of attending and witnessing abortion clinics, I am so glad I did!!!  The information you have supplied on your site is very moving possibly more so as I have a life growing inside me as we speak but thank you for standing up for these poor, unloved and obviously un-wanted babies who didn’t ask to be let down by their mothers, doctors and society, I thank God that people such as yourselves exist and that these babies, these lives were commended to god. …Anyway I felt compelled to respond to you as It’s touched me deeply, -- Paula B.

I came across some pictures online of aborted babies and I’m stunned for words. I’m just totally horrified that this is still allowed in this day and age. I do understand that some women’s lives are at risk if they continue with a pregnancy but I'm sure most of these babies are murdered because they’re not wanted. I can only try and imagine how frustrating and sad it must be to try and stop the government from allowing this to happen. I look at my little girl and look at these pictures and can’t see how any mother could allow her baby to be killed. – Sue, Australia

Thank you for creating this site. I stumbled upon it while looking for photos of fetal growth. I am almost 5 months pregnant with my 3rd child. I will forward this site to many people. It is heartbreaking to see the photos of abortions - especially the late-term ones. I had no idea a woman was allowed to have an abortion at 24 weeks! God bless you and all involved in providing this site. -- Chantal, LA

I am utterly shocked and saddened by these photos. I look at my babies and think of their little bodies being ripped apart before they had a chance at life. I am sharing these images with everyone I know.... -- Rachel, NC

I've seen your website.  How could anyone do this?  I just had a baby boy and he is the most important thing in my life. I'm glad I’ve seen this.   Thank you for showing it hopeful it will stop abortions.  -- Alisha

I'm from the Philippines.  I'm a 21-year-old soon-to-be mother. I'm 2weeks pregnant ... I [have] this life inside my womb. As I was surfing the net just this morning I went up to this site of aborted babies and I was totally shocked to see the hard truth of abortion.  It made me cry for each page I viewed. Those little creatures don't deserve to be killed. I wonder how these women get to sleep with the fact that they have killed a life. I tried not to think about it but I can't deny the fact that this is what's really going on with the world right now. Right now, I'm still trying my very best to keep this child under care and I tried to give my whole love for him. I don't want him to suffer such pain like what those little angels suffered from those cruel hands who killed them. I'm still praying for those little angels who were killed in a battle where they don't even know how to fight and win back because their young minds doesn't know what that thing means. And they don't know why they were killed with no reason at all. Perhaps, someday, the minds of these people will be enlightened and abortion will be stop. Though I'm still far from my due date, I can't wait to hug and kiss this baby. I will never deprive him the love, which those little angels didn't felt from their mothers. Thank you father for reading this message. God bless you always. -- ND

My heart is hurt! I just want to thank you because this web site is doing exactly what Jesus intended for it to do. Baby Malachi - what a precious child. All of the innocent little ones are with Jesus and he cares for them. I was just surfing the net wanting to see what a 7 week fetus looks like in the womb just to catch a glimpse of what my baby looks like at this stage. I believe the lord wanted me to see this so that I can be a light to help others not have an abortion.  He wanted me to see the real horror… please never give up millions will be touched by this site.  I really believe this. I know this message was long but the pain and tears that are present in me burns my soul with sadness, this is a way to let the world see the truth behind abortions. Once again God bless you all for this web site!!!!!!!!!! -- Lakeshia

I am at a loss for words, my heart hurts and I can not ever imagine myself doing something like that to a life that has not even had the chance to live. I love my babies, I am going to hold them right now and not let go. – JM, Arkansas

Even though I heard about all this previously, a picture is worth the proverbial thousand words. I look at these with a grandchild on the way, and think, how can a man like Jesus - who loved children so much - ever forgive mankind for what we do to these precious gifts? -- Judie, IN

I'm so glad you have those pictures on the Internet. I was very disgusted at the pictures and I never knew how bad it was until I came across your site. I was 14 years old when I got pregnant and everyone wanted me to have an abortion. I'm glad I made my own decision and decided that the baby didn't do this, I did and I have to live up to my responsibility. I now have a beautiful 4-year-old daughter and she has brought nothing but joy to my life. Thank you – Shannon

I found out I was 5 weeks. I never considered abortion nor would I. I was trying to look for info on the stage of my baby when I stumbled across your web site and looked at some of the pictures that you have on there of aborted babies. It brought me to tears! I can not help but feel that the human race is killing its self. I'm pretty disturbed by the photos. I only hope that there is still some heart out there in the world. I support your efforts to stop this madness! Sincerely -- Andrea and new baby!

I am so shocked at what I have just seen. I never in my dreams thought it was ever like this. Thank you for having the courage to show these images of what abortion is really like. I am 17 weeks pregnant and I would never have an abortion. I do not believe in it. I just wonder how the women can sleep at night knowing what they have done - and the people who perform the abortions - how can they do this. I have always said as soon as there is a heartbeat they are alive no matter how old the fetus is. More people need to see these images and then their views will change. God bless the children.

This morning I found your website. I was searching the net for pictures of babies with a gestation age of 20-weeks, which is how pregnant I am. I have never thought abortion is acceptable and after seeing the pictures you have it just makes me feel so, so much sorrow for mankind as a whole. As I type (as when I looked at the pictures) am feeling my baby kick inside me... In all abortion clinics there should be pictures on the walls, such as the ones on your site, to show these women exactly what they are doing, I'm sure a large percentage of them have no idea at all. -- Lily, England

I am a 20-year-old female and I was just recently on your website and to tell you the truth it was the worst thing that I ever seen. In the past I had two beautiful boys and both of their fathers wanted me to have an abortion and I refused them because I think it is just like committing murder. This is the best website for women even thinking about abortions because it could change their minds instantly. It makes me feel so hurt inside to think of the people that perform these things. It was God's will to give life and no one should take it for any reason. I was young when I had my first baby and the guy I was with talked about it so much I was so close to having an abortion. I regret even thinking about it now that I look at my 4-year-old Son. People like you all who created this website are a gift from God because it takes heart and guts to even look at things like this nevertheless create this site. The clot of blood is a human soul, a child from God, a baby that God has given to someone. I feel that God does not give you anything that he thinks you cannot handle. May God continue to bless you and your family for having the courage to do something to the American people, change lives forever! My Prayers go out to anyone that performs abortions and to the people that have them done. Your mother didn't abort you so why would you abort your flesh and blood. – Louisiana

Oh my goodness, I am 6 weeks pregnant and happily married and we can't wait for or precious baby to arrive. These pictures are great to get people to stop and think what their doing, they also disgust me just to stop and think that this is what the world is resulting in...murder! It is wrong and inhumane and it should be illegal. … To me there is absolutely no excuse for the killing of innocent children yes...children!

I was looking on the net about abortions and was very shocked at what I found … looking at the photos of those tiny babies. The poor little people.  How can women put themselves and their babies though that? As a mother of three I don’t agree with abortion.  It is murder.  No one has the right to take a life of anyone or thing. If one does not want to keep the baby for any reason there is a lot of couples that can’t have children and would dearly love to adopt. We must try to Stop this mean act on so many babies. A baby does not ask to be born.  They are little gifts from God.  I am very upset about the abortion rate. Thank you for reading my email.  I am a person of very few words but I know what I want and say the murder of small babies must stop!!!!!!!!!! -- Sue    

I have never thought abortion is acceptable. And after seeing the pictures you have it just makes me feel so, so much sorrow for mankind as a whole. As I type (as when I looked at the pictures) am feeling my baby kick inside me, and it makes me wonder how these women can do something like killing there baby, even after them feeling the miracle of a new life inside them. In all abortion clinics there should be pictures on the walls, such as the ones on your site, to show these women exactly what they are doing, I'm sure a large percentage of them have no idea at all.  I apologize if this is slightly disjointed and rambles on but I was, and still am so upset with the images I have seen. – Lily, England

I am 30yrs old and expecting my second child...I was just going through the internet to find pictures of what my baby may look like when I came across this....I never have seen pictures of an aborted child...it is very upsetting. I sat here and cried looking at these poor innocent babies. I do not understand how this can be legal; it is clearly murder (worse than that). How a person can call himself a "doctor" when he is tearing body parts of a child, or stabbing them in their head. I am very sad from watching this, but it sure makes me look at what I have (a beautify 2yr. old and one on the way). I wish everyone would come across this and see it before they would consider killing their child. I love how you are trying so hard to make this illegal, keep it up.

Although the pictures and stories I found on this web site were disturbing, I couldn’t agree more. Abortion is wrong. I am a 19 year old mother. I got pregnant when I was 17 and never even considered having an abortion. How anyone could do this to an unborn baby is beyond me. I advocate this web site and would recommend it to anyone considering having an abortion so they can see what it does to themselves, the fathers, and most importantly, the baby itself. Thank you for establishing this web site. God bless!

Thank you for your website. It certainly opened my eyes. I have a beautiful five month old son and seeing these disgusting pictures made me want to puke. People do this without guilt, without any sense that what they’re doing is MURDER??? These pictures should be mandatory decor for all abortion "clinics." We’ll see how many mothers will want their baby to wind up like those photos. God is watching, and He doesn’t like what He sees. The land of the free? We’re slaughtering our children! Is there no sanctity of life? If I kill a newborn, I will rot in jail. If I get a medical degree before I do it, I’ll get paid. Someone explain! I am glad there are people out there determined to let prospective "abortion clinic customers" know what they, and their child, are in for. Life is precious. Abortion is murder. I’ve seen babies referred to as "the pregnancy," as in, "the doctor will remove the pregnancy." Let’s not sugar-coat murder. It’s a baby, a life, a person. Not a medical term. This saddens me deeper than I can articulate. I only pray that God will open people’s eyes and make them realize what it is they are "terminating." Not a situation. A life.

I just wanted to tell you how moved I was by your website. The graphic pictures of abortion really got to me. I had twins born at 24 weeks gestation. They are now 10 years old. They are 2 of God’s miracles. I am so deeply saddened by all the lives lost to abortion. What precious babies they are only to be destroyed. Keep up the wonderful work of trying to educate people on this awful crime.

These pictures that I have seen today are so cruel and unfair.  I am 20 yrs old 4 months pregnant with twins and I’ve never cried before looking at pictures… -- Holly

I came across you web page by mistake, but after looking at all the pictures it just breaks my heart. I have two wonderful children that God has blessed me with. Looking at those pictures thinking "I would have raised that child if you didn't want it" There are so many people out there wanting to adopt. I could not live with myself knowing I did that. May God bless you and keep you safe in your fight for these children. – Samantha

Oh my!  I can't stop myself crying. I stumbled upon your website because I am 15 weeks pregnant and I just would like to know some information about my baby at this stage and about amniocentesis test. I can't believe what I saw in the images of aborted babies. I was not able to finish opening all the photos because of a very heavy heart. While seeing those beautiful angels slaughtered made me stop breathing and almost pass out. How could those people call themselves pro-choice if they don't even give the chance or choice those unborn beautiful angels to "LIVE?"  The photos are really depressing to look at but I think this is the strongest possible medium we can use to open those eyes that are blinded by false belief about abortion.  – Joni

I am 21 weeks pregnant with my eighth child. Although abortion is not and has never been an option for my husband or myself, I took the time to look at your picture archive of aborted babies. I do not know why I did that. In my heart and soul I know abortion is a terrible thing, but seeing those pictures horrified my very being. The pictures of the children at the stage of pregnancy I am at now were the worst. It made my heart ache and left an impression in my mind that will not soon go away. My heart breaks for the young girls and women who are misled and confused into making this decision for their unborn children. I know it’s been said before, but there really ought to be legislation that orders women considering aborting their child to see these pictures and to watch an ultrasound of their precious child. Thank you for all you do and trying to put the word out there. I will continue my prayers to bring about the end of abortion.

A friend emailed me the link to your site because of the beautiful ultra sound pictures. My husband and I are trying to conceive and she thought it would be neat to look at. At the same time she warned me of the graphic pics at the site as well. I must say that while they are graphic and heartbreaking, it's truth. Truth is what some people need more of. I must admit, I used to be pro-choice. That is, until I miscarried at 8 weeks in May of 2000. After that heartbreaking loss, I decided that from the beginning, from the time I knew I was pregnant, that was a baby inside of me - a life, no matter the "stage" it was in. From there, I made the decision to be pro-life. I think that more women should have to see your site - to see what it is that when they are having abortions, they are destroying life. God Bless you and God bless those babies that are now his angels.

I just want to say that the graphic images you portrayed were horrible, unimaginable. The reality is that this type of killing goes on everyday. I applaud you for showing this real graphic horrible truth that these pictures capture. I think if more people saw these images maybe just maybe some hearts and minds would be changed. I am 12 weeks pregnant right now and was really amazed at the child's development at this stage. In my heart and mind I thanked God that I was taught early on of the evils of abortion and lucky because of my knowledge my baby would never be subjected to this type of pain. I am 22 years old.  I as of now have 4 kids and found out recently that I am going to be blessed with another. I am totally against abortion but never knew why exactly until someone I trusted brought up abortion and I learned info about it and I can never, ever even think about doing something like that it is horrible murder. I just want to say that if anyone considers abortion they should think about what they are doing and websites like yours are gross but true, thank you for hearing me.

 don't know where to begin, but all I feel is my heart grieving for all those baby's that didn't even have a CHANCE! As I type this I can't stop crying....... My heart is so heavy, it is almost unbearable! Oh Lord please forgive us as a people we know not what we do. The thing that gets me the most is...... I had a little girl in august 2004 she was a planned pregnancy! And by no choice of mine I went into premature labor at 26-weeks. She was born weighing 1.12lb's and fought for her life.  She stayed 10 weeks in the NICU before coming home. And she is as healthy as any full term baby. And the thought, that even though born too early and not her choice or mine she still made it and the thought that a baby just like her could be aborted without any second thought. …I do remember one day when I was pregnant for my second, and I had a passing thought........Abortion................didn't give it much thought after that, but after seeing those pictures I feel like the lowest person for ever even entertaining the thought of it. My first is now 14 months old and my second little girl is now 4 1/2 months old and I cannot imagine life without either of them. My point in saying all this is I know the lowest of the low in feeling like an unplanned pregnancy is the worst thing that could happen at the worst time. I thought I understood how a person could be so misguided and not in their right minds to do such a thing.  I thank the Lord everyday that he saw me through it.   I myself was an unplanned pregnancy, if my mom had thought of abortion I wouldn't be writing this to you, also my two kids wouldn't be here. How much LIFE has been rewritten because of all these murders?  -- April

I was surfing the web, checking different websites for I am eight weeks pregnant and came across this website and I browsed through it and I must say the pictures where very disturbing! I commend you for what you are doing, trying to stop abortion. I love this baby that I am carrying with all my heart and would do nothing to harm her! I could never think of getting rid of it! Abortion I believe is evil and needs to be stopped! As I sat here and looked at those pictures, I cried for the babies, they didn't ask to be killed. I cry for my own but I cry for her knowing that she is coming to a wonderful home with two parents that want her more than anything in this world! I cry for those babies that are murdered by selfish people. I just wanted to let you know what you are doing is good!  Babies shouldn't have to pay the price with their lives for the parents. Please keep up the good work.  – Sara

I am expecting my second baby and was horrified by the pictures of aborted babies.  Aborted people.  – CG, Maryland

Thank you for providing the images. I had never seen such detailed pictures. I’ve seen grisly, and these are definitely horrific, but you can really make out the details in these images. They are all awful, but the ones that strike most at my heart are the 22 and 24 week pictures. My oldest daughter was born at 27 weeks and those babies look so much like she did when she was born. She weighed 1 pound 13 ounces, and we were told she wasn’t going to live, and if she did then she’d be severely handicapped. WELL-She most certainly lived, and has come through with flying colors. Praise God!!

I had never seen photographs of abortions, and was dismayed and horrified to see them. I had to keep from crying. It is simply outrageous that there are people that can dismiss these children as "not really human". My horror at seeing the child aborted at 24 weeks is beyond my capabilities for words. I am waiting for you to tell me that the picture somehow was doctored up. I only wish you could, because my nephew was a premature infant, weighing only 2 lbs!! Are the abortionists going to tell me that my nephew only became a child after he came out of the womb? It disgusts me that the abortionists are clouding the issue under the cry of "a woman’s right to choose". I respond to that with, "chastity would have been the better choice".

I am a mother of five loving children and one more on the way. I am totally against the choice for abortion. There are so many words that are running through my mind and I cannot express how I feel and what I want to say about abortion. The graphics are just so horrible and terrifying and so sad. My heart goes out to all of those victims (babies) that didn’t have a chance to speak out for themselves and say YES! I WANT TO LIVE, MOM! CHILDREN ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIFTS FROM GOD From a mother who cares.

 After viewing these pictures on abortion, I can truly say my heart weeps for those children. I myself am 22 weeks pregnant and could not imagine doing anything to harm this child inside of me. To feel those wonderful little kicks and flutters are the greatest feelings on earth for me. What could be so wrong with these people, that they feel they need to rid of a beautiful little baby that was a gift from god? Didn’t he give us enough when the life of his own son was snatched away from him all too soon, that we ourselves have to get rid of every precious gift he has given to us? He has given us these children for a reason. Who are we to say if this child has a right to live or die? I just thank the lord that no matter how many innocent children these ruthless people are killing, HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE WITH OPEN ARMS TO WELCOME THEM BACK TO HIS HOME. Thank you Lord for your protection of them. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

I JUST WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO THANK YOU FOR THIS SITE...IT WAS AN EYE OPENER FOR ME, AND I THOUGHT I KNEW WHAT REALLY WENT ON WITH THESE HORRIBLE MURDERS...IT HITS HOME FOR ME BECAUSE I AM A MOTHER OF THREE, I BECAME PREGNANT WITH MY FIRST CHILD AT THE AGE OF FOURTEEN...I CONTINUED ON THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL AND ACTUALLY GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL WITH TWO CHILDREN. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS PREGNANT WITH MY THIRD CHILD MY FIRST INSTINCT WAS TO HAVE AN ABORTION...THEN I SAID TO MYSELF "WHY WOULD I DO THAT...GOD GAVE THIS BABY TO ME FOR A REASON, AND HE IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE POWER TO TAKE IT AWAY." I APPLAUD THE WORK THAT YOU ARE DOING AND I HOPE THAT YOU CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR THESE INNOCENT BABIES WHO NEVER ASKED TO BE CONCIEVED AND WHO CERTAINLY NEVER ASKED TO BE KILLED...THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE OF CHRIST AND FOR THE LOVE THAT YOU HAVE FOR THESE PRECIOUS "ANGELS"...GOD BLESS YOU!

 I never thought that a fetus at only 6 weeks of gestation was even considered to be anything more than a mass of some sort, I looked today at your webpage because I was looking up fetal development pictures because I am interested in how my 16 week fetus looks like, I never thought I would see something as heart breaking and torturing as these abortions, how can those little human beings not feel what is happening to them, I send out my love and everything inside me to those poor poor little babies. I cry for them.

 I post daily on.... message boards. I've been talking to some women that are trying to conceive after having a past abortion. I posted a message just now after stumbling on your site. I am almost 7 weeks pregnant with a very desired baby. To see those innocent children MURDERED like that tore my heart to shreds!!!! I can't believe people would do that, just because a baby has came at a bad time!!!!!! WHY??????? Like I said, I posted a message to the women that have had abortions, and I probably stirred up a stink, but I don't care! Something has got to be done!!!!!!! – KH

 I am currently pregnant with a beautiful baby girl and I am horrified to see that this is what abortion looks like. I cried. Before I got pregnant, I used to think that it was only ok to abort if the woman was raped...then I realized that abortion is a violation of the Commandment "Thou shalt not kill." It is not the baby’s fault that a woman was raped; the rapist should be punished, not the child. Babies have a brain and heartbeats at only 10 weeks of pregnancy (I know because I saw mine). I will pass these along to others who are blinded. God Bless those poor babies; may God forgive those women.

 I have always been pro life. I feel that God will never give us more then we can handle. I looked at the pictures on the site and I was in horror. I can't imagine living with yourself after doing that. I am 17 weeks pregnant with my fifth child and I could never murder a child at any age but how cruel to wait so long and to do it at all. I've always wanted to protest in my state and have pictures to show. Someday I will make a difference in this problem even a small one is great. Thank you. Lisa

 I stumbled onto your website and curiosity overcame me. That was 3 hrs ago and I am still crying. I think your website is a wake-up call and should be shown in more places. I have two children of my own and those pictures made me hug them both and tell them how blessed I am to have them. Regardless of your situation there are alternatives to murder. If a picture of a newborn was shown dismembered all law enforcement would be involved. A few weeks should make no difference. God bless and give you the strength for what you are doing.

.......my father was doing a homily on pro-life and abortion. (Which he preaches about in all his homilies). He turned me onto this website to deepen his own research into the topic as well as to inform me better on the subject. I knew he had a deep passion for ending abortion, but you really don’t know exactly what you are dealing with until it slaps you in the face. Anyone who would take the time and see a little about what goes on by extracting an unborn child could easily see how incredibly evil such an act is. I see pictures associated with abortion and can’t help but to tear up as I look at my 9 month old son who is a result after a previous miscarriage. My wife and I and his two sisters love him like no other, and he has been another one of God’s blessings in our lives. But I can’t help but wonder.....whose life had to be passed up so we could have him? If anyone, no matter what kind of situation they think they are in, could see our son and know what kind of awesome love God has for us and all of His children, I know many more eyes would opened, hearts soften, and mothers and babies saved from education on the truth!

Hi there... I am 6 months pregnant with my first child, and wanted to see if I could find pictures of what the baby looks like. While I fell in love with the developmental pictures, I was horrified at the pictures of aborted babies. How could someone do this to a child? My baby kicks all the time...how could you feel that life inside you and kill it? Please keep up the good work...

I was literally sick when I saw these pictures. I actually sat here and cried, wondering how anyone could ever be so brutal. I thank God for my son every day. How a mother could just kill her child and think nothing of it is totally beyond me. God Bless these babies who never had a chance. It is the most horrific thing in the world that I’ve ever seen. These poor babies did not ask to be created, but yet they are the ones who suffer a terribly painful death because of the so called "mistakes" the mothers made. … I think they should all be shown pictures of their babies after they do such a thing, so that they may never forget what they did for the rest of their lives.

Yeah! Thank you for your "fiat"...I am so encouraged with priests for life...although every priest is a priest for life if he is Roman Catholic, it sometimes does not seem explicitly so. I love this site as a resource as well. I keep you in my prayers as well. (ps: I had a miscarriage with baby number 4 due to a cancer I didn’t know I had -yes, I am fine- but, it is amazing that some choose to abort! I looked at what my child looked like via your picture section at the time of his/her death...it was neat to see! Made me smile. Definitely I have another child in heaven. And, I think the photo section will help those who truly never realized what a baby looks like inside of you due to whatever reason.... Maybe even help legislation, we can only pray. God bless you and yours and your mothers.

I am a 31 year old mother of two girls ages 4 and 18 months and have another on the way. I just wanted to say that the pictures I saw on your site were worse than any horror movie I have ever seen. Those poor tiny babies were slaughtered like cattle. When I was in high school and especially college, I used to think that if I became pregnant then that I would definitely have an abortion. No question. As I grew older and then wanted children of my own, I knew that I could never have an abortion. Never. I wish that I hadn't seen your site, because as a mother, it haunts me and breaks my heart. I do wish, however, that girls and/or women who walk into abortion clinics should have to see pictures like this before going through with the procedure. I'm sure many think as I did that it's just a bunch of cells. NOT TRUE! I'm positive that most of those girls would think twice if they actually saw what was inside of them. A tiny human life. A true blessing from God.

I seen your pictures, I cried. I have three beautiful children and wouldn't give anything for them. God blessed them to me. Who ever can kill their baby by abortion or any kind of way is a very sick person. I am against abortions. Keep up the good work and letting people know that it is wrong. God bless you.

When I was confronted by the choice whether to have my baby aborted I chose without a single moment for life. I conceived in a violent way which was not of my own choice. I kept him and he is a continuous blessing. I had to cry and cry when I saw the pictures. It has made me even more scared of people. To think that mothers can do such a horrendous thing to children. Who will protect the little ones if they cannot even count on their own mothers to protect them? Please!!!! Keep up the fight against abortion. I am a scientist of religion and a full-time writer. I wish I could do more.

I have just reviewed some of the abortion pictures and I am sick. I mean I really feel like throwing up. How can women do this horrible thing to their baby? My daughter was fifteen and she asked me what I thought of abortion. My answer was abortion is murder and I could not forgive that but I could forgive my daughter if she were pregnant. I later found out she was pregnant and I now have a beautiful granddaughter. I thank god every day for her.

I wept and wept after seeing your website. So many people would do anything for a child and so much precious life is wasted daily. I said a prayer and kissed my two children, grateful for what my husband and I have created.

Dear Father Frank, I came across your webpage while looking for information on miscarriages. I wanted to write you to say that my heart was touched that there is some people out there bold enough to show the facts about the stages of a baby's development. My last pregnancy I was 14 weeks and had a miscarriage at home. I was already against abortion, however, at that time after seeing my 14 week old baby and actually having to hold it and put it in a container to take to the hospital to have it tested to see why he may have died, I was so angry at those who could be so cold hearted in killing human beings growing...and pity for those mothers who most, don’t have a clue in the development of their babies. And if they do, and still manage to kill their babies. Pray Gods mercy on their souls when and if they cry for true repentance. That miscarriage was one of the hardest things I have endured. And I can honestly say it has saddened and angered me to think that babies the same size of mine is being killed daily by those who don't want them...where as people like me, who had already began bonding and then find themselves losing their baby for unknown reasons. That was three years ago, and I still bear pain from the loss. I am not catholic, but protestant, however, I ask for you to light a candle in honor of my lost son. And please remember me in your prayers...for recently I was told I needed a hysterectomy and it has brought up some painful memories. I do have two other children, both boys, ages 8 and 11, but the loss of my other son still brings pain, who would be would be three years old this September. I commend you on your website. I do pray that it educates people and saves lives of babies.

 I was just responding to your website. I am against abortion I believe that it is wrong to take life in any form. I am only 22 I have been pregnant once and I lost the baby by miscarriage at 7 weeks. Currently I am 8 weeks pregnant now and I could never dream of killing my baby just seeing those photos upset me because no one knows how precious life is.. I wish I was more careful back then when I lost my baby because I keep thinking how different my life would've been with a four year old in my life.. I still talk about he or she because it was my baby and they were alive in me.. The baby I am having now I am so attached to.. Seeing those pics disturbed me because I don't know how women do it.. I could never..

 I was actually online looking for things to do before conceiving a baby. Me and my husband are trying for our second. We have a little boy named Tyler. He was born at 30 weeks and almost didn’t make it. I came across your site by accident and was looking around and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I can not believe someone could do this to another living creature. I am sitting here crying right now thinking what on earth I would do without my son here. I just think what you are doing is wonderful and my thoughts and prayers are with those little children who didn’t get a chance to live.

I found your website quite by accident. I am expecting my second child, and was looking for images of fetal development. I appreciate the wonderful photos of a baby in utero that you have posted, and am anxious to share them with my husband. I was horrified by the gallery of photos of those tiny innocents - murdered, but I’m glad to have seen them. No one can truly form an opinion on abortion without seeing the horror. I had no idea the practice was so brutal. I wonder how many women would choose to have an abortion, once viewing those photos and having the various procedures described in detail. So much is made in this country of a woman’s right to choose, but little is said about a woman’s responsibility to make wise choices before she ends up pregnant. …If women were responsible, then abortion would not be an issue.

I just had a baby 4 weeks ago and abortion never entered my mind, I was raised a catholic and abortion just wasn't the right thing to do, seeing those pictures of the aborted babies made me realize that my baby son that I have is the most wonderful human being in the world. I balled my eyes out looking at those pictures and it sickens me to know that there are people out in this world getting and giving abortions everyday. People just don't realize the mistake they are making. I now will pray for all the aborted babies in the world. It is so sad.

I have looked at the horrible pictures of abortions, it made me cry.. I don’t understand how people can just say, she decided on abortion. To me? I say she had her baby killed. Why won’t they believe that baby has been alive while growing inside. I had 4 pregnancies and felt the babies moving, that is life! After they were born, they were sweet, soft and I held their warm bodies against me. Why would anyone want to rid themselves of that child? Maybe I overreact but in my mind that is murder of an innocent defenseless child.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant, and turned 18, just 9 weeks ago. I'm a Christian but my faith was tested. The thought of abortion came into my mind. No one had to be disappointed in me for pre-marital sex. But I stopped and remembered the movie my mom showed me when I was younger..The silent scream and I wanted to hit myself for even having the thought. The baby’s father wants nothing to do with it and will not speak to me cuz I am deciding to keep so there for him ruining his life. If any young girls are coming to this website, I hope they understand that this isn’t an answer. After seeing those pictures and procedures know that you don't have to give this child a murdered end. But give it life with a family who would die for a baby. And they can give it everything you would want and then some for that child. Please don't murder your mistakes, but count it as a blessing . You are its mother. Look at your mother and ask if she would have the heart to murder you because you are inconvenient at the time. This is a great website.

I just wanted you to know how the pictures affected me. I cried (and still am as I write this), held my son tight, and thanked God for blessing me with him. I was 22 when I got pregnant and 800 miles from any family. I was scared to death. Even though I’ve always disliked the idea of abortion as birth control, I’m ashamed to admit the thought flew through my mind. I thought to myself, I can’t take care of a baby, I have to "end it". The thought only lasted a few seconds but the guilt of that thought has haunted me and will continue to do so. I know I never would have done it, but the shame is overwhelming. I love my son with everything I have, and I don’t know how these women could murder their flesh and blood. May God bless all of you and all the murdered babies. I pray these murders will be stopped.

I am writing in response to your website. I am a 32 year old woman. I am a mother of two. One of my children was born 10 weeks premature weighing 1 lb 13 oz at birth. Seeing some of the photos reminded me of what I went through after my son was born. Premature children as young as mine are very similar in appearance except for the horrific condition. How can any woman allow her child to under go such a procedure? I’m sure these women never get to see the actual child after their abortion. I strongly agree that these images must make their way into the public eye. They ARE horrible to look at but even more horrible knowing they were subjected to this by the hands of a woman and a doctor. There is a law that requires us to have our children in a car seat. But there is also a law that allows women to kill their unborn? I pray for all the babies in past, present and future that will suffer in such a manner. Psalm 139 is very powerful in telling who really is the answer to our existence? We should never throw away what God has given to us. We are all God’s children. My children are His. He blessed and honored me by choosing me to be their mother. I have a responsibility to take care of them the way He would. May God have mercy on all of us.

There are no words to describe your site. It should be seen by anyone even contemplating abortion. As a wife desperately trying to conceive and having one child already taken back by God at 4 weeks gestation, I am just utterly sick and so sad. …Thank you for your site, and even though many will think it bad taste, I think it is part of women getting "the whole picture" before going ahead with an abortion. God Bless all of you and I’ll always pray your site remains.

I’m not sure how many people stumble onto your website, as I have, today, but I sure wish, as hard as it was, for me, to scan through a few photos, that we could show these images to women about to abort their precious babies. I’m currently 6 weeks pregnant for the 5th time. I had 3 miscarriages before I had my beautiful daughter, who is now 8 ½ years old. We are very hopeful this pregnancy will take and that she will have a brother or sister, soon. I’m beyond mortified that anyone would Choose to get rid of a life, growing inside them, when I want desperately to have another baby, and have for years. I hope your site helps women make a different choice. I’m still wiping away tears. Take care of yourselves.

I don’t know how to start this email. I’m flooded with emotions of grief for the babies lost, guilt for entertaining the thought of having an abortion and yet I feel happiness that I chose not to abort.
