I just signed onto Facebook to see a "friend" posted a few pictures of aborted babies. She is trying to get her pro life message across but this was NOT the right way to do it in my opinion. I was just about to sit down and have my coffee and browse Facebook, I did not expect to see a bunch of dead babies on my screen.

I am seriously about to throw the fvck up. Why would you post that??

That's awful, maybe it's time to unfriend them!

I did. It was too inappropriate for me. I have seen some odd things posted on facebook but nothing EVER this graphic.

DomesticDiva0429 · September 2011

Hell no! I would never post things like that...there are way better ways to get your point accross. how horrible!

ericad317 · September 2011

OMG that is terrible! I mean she is entitled to her opinions but that is just a bit extreme. Not something I would ever want to look at!

yikes.. good morning to her as well.

gosh, and I was just starting to get annoyed at the people posting the picture of the emaciated kid's hand being held by a normal hand that keeps getting posted....

I have seen that one before and it is pretty graphic as well.

What gets me about this is that she created an album, and since FB has changed their format for picture posting on news feed, it showed up in that gigantic cluster of photos they now have. So there was like one GIANT picture, and then the two or three next to it. All wicked graphic.

I literally thought I was about to barf.

I am a Pro-Life advocate and use facebook a lot to support causes that are dear to me. In your opinion, what would be an appropriate way for her to support this cause? I think too many times people sugar coat causes (animal welfare, abortion, child abuse, etc) so we don't hurt others feelings.

Well, one of my FB friends posted this today. It definitely gets the point across (made me cry, fair warning!) without showing mutilated human remains. Some things ARE too much.

Hi, Mommy.
I'm your baby. You don't know me yet, I'm only a few weeks old. You're going to find out about me soon, though, I promise. Let me tell you some things about me. My name is John, and I've got beautiful brown eyes and black hair. Well, I don't have it yet, but I will when I'm born. I'm going to be your only child, and yo...u'll call me your one and only. I'm going to grow up without a daddy mostly, but we have each other. We'll help each other, and love each other. I want to be a doctor when I grow up.
You found out about me today, Mommy! You were so excited, you couldn't wait to tell everyone. All you could do all day was smile, and life was perfect. You have a beautiful smile, Mommy. It will be the first face I will see in my life, and it will be the best thing I see in my life. I know it already. ... Today was the day you told Daddy. You were so excited to tell him about me! ...He wasn't happy, Mommy. He kind of got angry. I don't think that you noticed, but he did. He started to talk about something called wedlock, and money, and bills, and stuff I don't think I understand yet. You were still happy, though, so it was okay. Then he did something scary, Mommy. He hit you. I could feel you fall backward, and your hands flying up to protect me. I was okay... but I was very sad for you. You were crying then, Mommy. That's a sound I don't like. It doesn't make me feel good. It made me cry, too. He said sorry after, and he hugged you again. You forgave him, Mommy, but I'm not sure if I do. It wasn't right. You say he loves you... why would he hurt you? I don't like it, Mommy.
Finally, you can see me! Your stomach is a little bit bigger, and you're so proud of me! You went out with your mommy to buy new clothes, and you were so so so happy. You sing to me, too. You have the most beautiful voice in the whole wide world. When you sing is when I'm happiest. And you talk to me, and I feel safe. So safe. You just wait and see, Mommy. When I am born I will be perfect just for you. I will make you proud, and I will love you with all of my heart.
I can move my hands and feet now, Mommy. I do it because you put your hands on your belly to feel me, and I giggle. You giggle, too. I love you, Mommy.
Daddy came to see you today, Mommy. I got really scared. He was acting funny and he wasn't talking right. He said he didn't want you. I don't know why, but that's what he said. And he hit you again. I got angry, Mommy. When I grow up I promise I won't let you get hurt! I promise to protect you. Daddy is bad. I don't care if you think that he is a good person, I think he's bad. But he hit you, and he said he didn't want us. He doesn't like me. Why doesn't he like me, Mommy?
You didn't talk to me tonight, Mommy. Is everything okay?
It's been three days since you saw Daddy. You haven't talked to me or touched me or anything since that. Don't you still love me, Mommy? I still love you. I think you feel sad. The only time I feel you is when you sleep. You sleep funny, kind of curled up on your side. And you hug me with your arms, and I feel safe and warm again. Why don't you do that when you're awake, any more?
I'm 21 weeks old today, Mommy. Aren't you proud of me? We're going somewhere today, and it's somewhere new. I'm excited. It looks like a hospital, too. I want to be a doctor when I grow up, Mommy. Did I tell you that? I hope you're as excited as I am. I can't wait.
Mommy, I'm getting scared. Your heart is still beating, but I don't know what you are thinking. The doctor is talking to you. I think something's going to happen soon. I'm really, really, really scared, Mommy. Please tell me you love me. Then I will feel safe again. I love you!
Mommy, what are they doing to me!? It hurts! Please make them stop! It feels bad! Please, Mommy, please please help me! Make them stop!
Don't worry Mommy, I'm safe. I'm in heaven with the angels now. They told me what you did, and they said it's called an abortion.
Why, Mommy? Why did you do it? Don't you love me any more? Why did you get rid of me? I'm really, really, really sorry if I did something wrong, Mommy. I love you, Mommy! I love you with all of my heart. Why don't you love me? What did I do to deserve what they did to me? I want to live, Mommy! Please! It really, really hurts to see you not care about me, and not talk to me. Didn't I love you enough? Please say you'll keep me, Mommy! I want to live smile and watch the clouds and see your face and grow up and be a doctor. I don't want to be here, I want you to love me again! I'm really really really sorry if I did something wrong. I love you!
I love you, Mommy.
Every abortion is just?
One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.
If you?re against abortion, repost!!

Um not bombarding people with a dozen GRAPHIC photos of dead babies that are mutilated. That is ridiculous. I was not aware that I was going to see that when signing on. It made me physically ill. It was beyond inappropriate.

There is a thing called tact...she had none.

I can definitely see your point. However, what you said above is exactly what drives me as a pro life advocate. I'm sure you know exactly what abortion is all about and didn't need the images to inform you. But I guarantee there was at least one person who learned the truth about abortion and maybe that will play a factor in their life one day. May sound hokey but if it saves a life who cares.

I would have flagged her post as inappropriate before unfriending her. Unfortunately, to do that, you have to open the photo and then click "Report this photo".

P.S. OP - I totally think you look like Princess Kate in your avatar.

I have thought that for a couple days! I have been meaning to say something too!

Still not appropriate. You don't do that. I think posting photos like that on facebook for your FRIENDS to see (some of whom are at work and don't need that showing up on their screens probably) is beyond inappropriate. If you post photos like that on Facebook I automatically assume you are an insensitive asss.

For the record, I haven't yet stated my opinion on the matter of abortion (and I won't) yet as a pro life advocate I get the impression you are automatically assuming I am pro choice.

I think there are better ways to get your point across rather than showing mutilated human remains. For me, it seems like that would HURT your cause, not help it.

I am going to assume that the images that were posted were not representative of the vast majority of actual abortions taking place. But, hey, why use logic when you can use emotion, right? Also, it's not saving a life, the women who are going to have an abortion are going to have one and their reasons for doing go beyond 'Dear mommy' posts and bloody photos.

Haha my photo is actually princess Kate! She was the celeb look alike I got during celebrity doppleganger week a while back so I put her up as my avatar. I don't really think we look much alike at all. I just have similar hair, lol.

I haven't formed any opinion about your stance on abortion, didn't even cross my mind. I was merely putting my two cents in about your post.

Like I said, I do see your point on the pictures being too graphic and I haven't ever posted pictures on facebook of abortion. I don't know that I ever would. I have posted links and such but never made an album. I can see why you and others would see that as insensitive.

While I don't think that posting things that are so controversial on Facebook is ever a good idea (it usually ends pretty badly) I understand that a lot of people use it as their platform to talk about things they feel passionately about.

That being said, a link to an article (without posting a photo) would in my opinion be a better way to get your point across.

However, I think if you REALLY want to advocate, why not start a Facebook group and then invite friends to join? That way you aren't showing things to those who would be potentially hurt by those images. It is such a touchy subject. I think there needs to be sensitivity when discussing it.

WOW that is more powerful than any picture I have ever seen. Tears are streaming down my face because ex tried to convince me to abort my daughter. The topic of abortion is very touchy for me because of this.

Has anyone ever seen the picture of Samuel Alexander Armas holding the finger of the surgeon performing the operation? It is an amazing story and you should totally google it. The baby had to be operated on in the womb in order to save his life. Talk about tears...

atlb · September 2011

Yeah, I would definitely unfriend her.

I've seen the "Dear Mommy" thing, as well as the one where the mom goes in to get an abortion and the "Doctor" suggests just killing the older child that she already has instead. Absurd. I promptly unfriended the people that posted those as well.

Lots of people post pictures that I don't want to see. Do I want to see pictures of half dressed girls, drunk off their assesz, dancing on bars? Not really. Do I want to see 1,000 pictures of your kid that you think are soooo cute? Nope. Maybe I should start reporting those for being inappropriate.

As for the work argument... If you're at work and are worried about what might pop up, you shouldn't be on a social networking site. PERIOD.

A photo of a drunk girl in a bar =/= a photo of a mutilated human being. Sorry.

ETA: Human remains/photos of an abortion being performed are probably against terms of service, photos of drunk people at bars, to my knowledge are not.

Re that photo of the fetus 'grabbing the hand'. Not quite what it seems: https://www.snopes.com/photos/medical/thehand.asp

Short version: Baby was under anesthesia, same with the mother and there was no 'knowledge' of what was going on.

But why let facts get in the way of an emotional argument.

I just signed onto Facebook to see a "friend" posted a few pictures of aborted babies. She is trying to get her pro life message across but this was NOT the right way to do it in my opinion. I was just about to sit down and have my coffee and browse Facebook, I did not expect to see a bunch of dead babies on my screen.
I am seriously about to throw the fvck up. Why would you post that??
I am a Pro-Life advocate and use facebook a lot to support causes that are dear to me. In your opinion, what would be an appropriate way for her to support this cause? I think too many times people sugar coat causes (animal welfare, abortion, child abuse, etc) so we don't hurt others feelings.
Um not bombarding people with a dozen GRAPHIC photos of dead babies that are mutilated. That is ridiculous. I was not aware that I was going to see that when signing on. It made me physically ill. It was beyond inappropriate.
There is a thing called tact...she had none.
I can definitely see your point. However, what you said above is exactly what drives me as a pro life advocate. I'm sure you know exactly what abortion is all about and didn't need the images to inform you. But I guarantee there was at least one person who learned the truth about abortion and maybe that will play a factor in their life one day. May sound hokey but if it saves a life who cares.

What if a person with a late term loss saw these pics plastered across her FB? Someone who ha no choice and lost their child and then had a "friend" post these pics trying to advocated pro-life decisions?

I have had several friends lose their children between 18-37 weeks. I'm sure they would be horrified and grief stricken to see those images plastered on their feed.

Whether you're pro life or pro choice, that was a BAD judgement call. Period.
