The Silent Scream

It is outrageous that a doctor has lent himself to such piece of propaganda, thus missing one of his duties as a health worker, which is to provide accurate information without biases in a sensitive matter, to the population or at least the part of the population who chooses to see or is forced to watch this movie.

An abortionist films an abortion on an 11 week old baby in the womb. The child tries to escape the suction tube by moving away from it. At the last moment as the baby is sucked apart, The child's mouth forms a scream. This documentary shows the truth that abortion is MURDER. This short documentary should be seen by every American. It is shocking and heartbreaking. After watching this, anyone with an ounce of compassion and common sense, will definitely be anti-abortion. The doctor stopped being an abortionist after watching this documentary. The film was current in 1984. Since that time, millions of babies have been sucked out of their mother's womb in a hideous procedure.

Another reviewer accuses low information, , uneducated people of using this documentary as an excuse to support their position on abortion. However, that assumption has been debunked even by the United States Supreme Court ruling concerning Roe versus Wade. That decision returned the decision of abortion back to each individual state. Many Americans see this as murder. There are those who support delivering full term babies and leaving them to die at the discretion of the mother. However, the tide has turned on abortion in America. Arizona recently approved changing the name of a baby in utero from fetus to baby.

This short film, is everything wrong with extreme pro-life propaganda. It puts forth standard scare tactics and misapplies scientific fact (and often enough mis-interprets if not outright lies about scientific fact) all in the name of "protecting the unborn"

I could spend a lot of time talking about the medical inaccuracies, or the deliberate falsehoods or the misleading editing in this film, but it would probably be simpler to advise people who wish to watch this film to look it up themselves, it's not hard to find technical criticisms of this film in a quick google search.

This is a film that likely is only popular with very poorly educated Pro-life extremists, as it is not factually accurate, nuanced, or even honest about the message it portrays.

Which is a problem, because the current body of research on the opinions of US citizens in regards to abortion, indicates that most of us have nuanced opinions on the matter of abortion, and are entirely willing to see the complexities and "shades of grey" on this very serious, very heart-rending issue.

If you are looking for a film that advances the discussion on abortion in a helpful manner, look elsewhere

Flawed and Inaccurate, a previous reviewer, said he thought this film was flawed and inaccurate. The doctor who did the abortion and had the ultrasound recorded was a founder of NARAL, the National Abortion Rights Action League. When he saw the video of the abortion he had performed, he became pro-life. Nothing about this is flawed and inaccurate.

Shows the horrors of abortion, taking a baby's life...
