Before abortion: How about mandatory in utero “baby” pictures?
Time’s Nancy Gibbs advances the theory that the reason more people under 30 now say they are "pro life" than people who say they are "pro choice" is because their first baby pictures were probably taken in utero.
An interesting theory. If you have a picture of yourself in the womb in your growing-up photo album, it’s harder to get your arms around traditional pro-abortion arguments of when life begins.
For example, President Obama said knowing when life begins is "above his paygrade". Anyone with an in utero picture of him or herself knows what a glib (to be nice) or dumb (to be less nice) statement that is.
Some states are now debating laws that would require a woman seeking an abortion to view an in utero picture of her "baby" before the "procedure" is allowed.
What would be the argument against that? Pain and suffering from seeing what is?
