Now for the first time, we’re going to see a film, made with real-time ultrasound imaging, of a twelve-week abortion. Bear in mind that this is not an unusual instance, a late abortion:—this is one of the four thousand or so a day, done every day in the United States. This film was made at an abortion clinic. The physician who performed the abortion was a young man who was working at two different abortion clinics at the time. He had already done close to 10,000 abortions in his young life. When he was asked to attend the editing session to view the film, he was so appalled with what he had done that he left the room momentarily, came back to finish the editing, but never again did another abortion.
