Unfortunatly most people only like to use science when it benefits their political views, and doubly unfortunatly, ( I think ) compelling evidence such as this in the hands of the many pro-life advocates will get lost when it is coupled with a spiritual/religious arguments, leading many so called "liberals" who could be pro-life to automatically throw up their defenses when they hear it. I don't disagree with the religious beliefs, and I am not saying we shouldn'T share those beliefs, but it's a lot harder to get people to accept than it is science. Regardless of the reason a person believes abortion is wrong, if we could only take the "religion" aspect out of the argument, and focus solely on the science, I think it would go a long way to change non-religious people's minds.

Seeing the moving baby, the beating heart and so-on most often changes their minds; not always, but often. And all through this process, we're not pushing religion on them. We will look for opportunities to share God with them, and we are looking into starting a small-group faith-sharing program for our clients (both present and past). But we can't push them into it; it's a 'pull' process with lots of prayer. The crisis-pregnancy center I volunteer at encourages women who come to us seeking abortions to get an ultrasound.
