It brings to mind the words of Ruth Pakaluk, featured in an earlier post. "Human rights are rights that pertain to us simply in virtue of the fact that we are human, not for any reason above and beyond that; the fundamental human right is the right to life, and so, if that right is denied, then all human rights are in effect denied; the thing growing in the mother's womb is surely alive (otherwise it would not need to be killed by abortion), and it is human; thus, to deny that the thing growing in the mother's womb has the right to life is to deny that anyone has any human rights whatsoever."

Civil rights for the unborn?
A thought-provoking video by ProLife Wisconsin (hat tip to John Smeaton)...

"Except for death, no-one will kiss me"
Hat tip to John Smeaton for this touching video - an "interview" with an unborn child aware that he is going to be aborted. Just a word of warning, though - it isn't gory (the images it contains are beautiful) and the abortion itself is not described; but, because it focuses on the humanity and the unique individuality of the child in a very emotionally immediate way, it could be upsetting for a woman who has been through an abortion to watch.
The "interview" is in fact the poem Interview with an Unborn Child by Dr. Mojdeh Shirvanianear. When watching bear in mind that, as Brad Mattes of the Life Issues Institute says, you are hearing the child's words "within the context of the deaths of 1.2 million babies every year".
