Abortion intentionally kills an innocent baby. A miscarriage is the tragic, unintentional loss of a baby due to natural causes. Mothers who have experienced pregnancy loss through miscarriage or stillbirth (ie: not “by choice”) understand how devastating it is to lose a child. It is a loss they suffer – through no choice of their own. Because they understand how traumatizing it is to lose a child, they are often among the strongest opponents of abortion.
Procedures to remove the remains of someone who has already died are distinct from procedures that kill someone. Unlike miscarriage or stillbirth care, abortion entails performing a D&C or a D&E on a living fetus.
One of the goals of showing the reality of abortion is to dissuade women from making the choice to end the life of their child in the womb; and thus spare them from the avoidable regret, grief, heartache, loss, and trauma caused by deliberately choosing abortion.
