Most think what is inside them is just a glob of tissue. They need to know that "glob" looks very much like a baby and looks that way very early in their pregnancy.

If it's magnified, yes...it sort of resembles a 'baby'. About 90% of abortions are performed in the first 12 weeks, the fetus is less than 2.5". 60% of abortions are performed at less than 9 weeks and is less than 30mm long.
I've seen plenty of ultrasounds and pictures and a fetus at that stage of gestation is basically a glob of cells.
The big problem I have with the 'pro life' posters and protesters is that they show pictures of fetuses that were aborted WAAAAAY later, which is technically not legal to do in the first place. I do think it's a little bit unfair to show a person who is 8 weeks pregnant and getting an abortion a picture of a 7 month old fetus that has been aborted and tell her that's what she is doing. The two are not comparable.
They're fake, right? Wrong. These are real people. The pictures were
taken at the Prenatal Section of the Life Exhibit of one of the world's
largest and most renowned scientific museums - the prestigious Chicago
Museum of Science and Industry - except for the final picture, which is
a picture of a picture in a diorama in the Genetics Exhibit. One of the
world's most respected hospitals, Michael Reese, together with Pathology
Associates of Chicago, Ltd., help to maintain the display. Neither is
this a recently added exhibit; though the people in it may have chang-
ed, and been added to, over the years. I can't remember when the exhib-
it wasn't there, and I've been going to the museum since about 1972. I
do vaguely remember some people claiming the exhibit was fake, and try-
ing to shut it down, a number of years ago; but they got nowhere. This
exhibit draws people big-time; I had to stand in line five times to get
the pictures; which the museum allows so long as you don't use special
equipment.
And, unfortunately, in case you didn't notice, most of the pictures did-
n't turn out very well. It's especially difficult to take pictures of
something relatively small through two separate layers of glass with a
point and shoot camera. I got mostly pictures of fingerprints on the
glass, and reflections from the glass. So you'll notice there are lots
of gaps in the numbers. The other drawback is that you can't really get
a sense of scale. So you should see for yourself, first hand, when you
are in the Chicago area. Actually, if you live within driving range,
and have children, you should plan at the least an annual pilgrimage to
the museum anyway; because there's so much to see, do, and learn about
there. This last trip I spent the whole day in the Life and Genetics
Exhibits and on the Science Balcony. I realized it was time to go when
they started setting tables for a fund raiser. But the first time there
you'll probably want to cover as much ground as possible, and then zero
in on areas of special interest later. The boys will especially like to
go through the captured German submarine (which was recently renovated),
and the girls will love the Fairy Castle. If your children have never
been on a jetliner or passenger train, they can go through them there
(honest, the plane's hanging from the ceiling). I dragged my ninety year
old mother along this last trip. She got on an elevator, and the next
thing she knew she was in a coal mine. And they've just added that new-
ly discovered giant crocodile you've probably been reading about to one
room on the main floor. It's not quite as big as the railway cars - but
close. Also in the most fascinating category are the Space Exhibit and
the Omnimax Theater. Click on the link to the museum web site, above,
to get all the details. I did, and found a list of all the exhibits and
activities - among other things. Of course, then I had to see what they
had to say about their Prenatal Exhibit - "a unique look at the journey we all made from a fertilized egg to a complete human being. To the best
of our knowledge, their survival was prevented by natural causes or ac-
cidents."

Yeah.... I've seen pictures of fetuses before.
I'm for elective abortion in the first trimester, up to 12 weeks. After that, I think it should only be performed in dire circumstances.
Why? Apples and oranges. Porn has an erotic content to it and is intended to arouse someone sexually. Abortion pictures are intended to be repulsive and have a completely different effect on someone.
How many porn stars have you known or worked with? I reject your stereotype.
What makes people think porn stars are messed-up? I was thinking of getting into the porn business. Of course I needed a knitch. That was really my downfall. Then I wondered if I could make a go of it as "Too Little" Smith. Well, I figured for the sake of my mother's mental health I'd better not pursue the career. The whole "Too Little" thing may not have been that popular anyhow.
