I have had it with proaborts still using the dishonest Guardian photos. So here we go:
1) This is NOT what a miscarriage or an abortion looks like. This tissue has been rinsed of all blood in a fine sieve and the EMBRYO IS EITHER MISSING OR HIDDEN. We'll come back to this!
2a) At no point in development is a human strictly microscopic. Here are screen shots of an embryologist's video of human eggs next to a dime. The videos were taken with only his phone. L: 10 human eggs R: 1 human egg
2b) Here is a link to the original video: tiktok.com/@shaun.bob/vid…
2c) Throughout the internet you can find scientific and fertility sources confirming the visibility of a human egg, which is roughly .1mm or the size of a period " . "
naturalcycles.com/cyclematters/5….
3) The fertilized human egg, or zygote, is larger than the unfertilized human egg, roughly .7mm, and again visible to the naked eye: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK55456….
4) Roughly 6-10 days after fertilization, or Week 4 of pregnancy, the embryo implants in the lining of the uterus. At this point most women still don't know they're pregnant, so very very few abortions happen at this stage.
5) By Week 5, a woman is just missing her first period, the embryo is growing rapidly and about the size of a sesame seed. Again, most abortions do NOT happen at this stage as most women are just finding out they're pregnant.
6) Now, about the MYA Network and the photos they provided for The Guardian and NYT articles! Here are photos of wks 4 & 5.
If they are wholly accurate, why is there so much less tissue in wk 5? Why has all the blood been rinsed out? Why don't they want to point out the embryo?
7) On their website, the MYA Network misleads women by showing them images of washed and sanitized tissue, and claiming the embryos are not visible. BUT if you dig further down on their page, you will find them getting a little closer to the truth:
8) So what do we really KNOW about embryos at this stage? Well, at wk 8 and 9 an embryo is about a 1/2" and 3/4" long respectively. Quite obviously visible to the naked eye.
9) So let's compare photos. Below is what the Guardian claims is a wk 7 pregnancy, alongside a photo of a wk 7 miscarried baby.
10) Perhaps this is why so many women who've experienced miscarriage (even pro-choice women) were angry at the Guardian for how they misrepresented pregnancy loss:
11) Let's compare!
- Guardian's 9 wk photo with embryo supposedly present but "not easily discernible"
- representation of 9 wk embryo roughly to scale at 1/2" HAD IT BEEN IN the photo
Where is the embryo? Is it missing or did they hide it? Why don't they want us to see it?
12) Let's compare again!
- Guardian's 9 wk photo again
- Lennart Nilsson's photo of an embryo at roughly the same stage, clearly visible within it's tissue
Shouldn't we be able to see an embryo of this size, shape, and color in the Guardian photo? Why can't we?
13) Let's compare again!
- Guardian's 9 wk photo again
- Another of Lennart Nilsson's photos of an embryo at roughly the same stage
14) So you really should be asking yourself, why are the MYA Network, the Guardian, NYT and so many others actively misleading you?
And what happens when a woman believes them but when aborting at 11 weeks expels a fully formed little baby?
15) Even if we give them the benefit of the doubt, assume they're trying to ease women's guilt, how does that help her in the long run? What happens when she suffers and later discovers (and she will discover) the truth about fetal development? Who will help her then? (18wks)
16a) At the very least, the pro "choice" movement should treat women with the respect and dignity they deserve and offer them INFORMED CHOICE.
Informed choice means treating them like adults, NOT children; telling them the truth, NOT sugar-coating to "protect" them. (10 wks)
16b) Informed choice means providing her with accurate information about her baby's size and development, as well as possible negative outcomes including physical risks and mental health risks including prolonged grief, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. (19 wks)
17) Well, that's all for now. It's been hours of putting this together and I gotta stop. I will add more if I think of anything!
Please share, bookmark, use ANY time you see someone using those crap Guardian pics.
Bring the light, my friends. Bring the LIGHT!
