Actual picture of abortion

[zellie-bean.livejournal.com]

A while back, I posted asking if the abortion protester mutilated baby pictures were of actual abortions and got a resounding 'NO' ;) now I'm curious again, are there any pictures around of a REAL, first trimester abortion?

The closest thing I could find is: http://eileen.250x.com/Main/FET_DEV.PIC/12weeks.htm which...isn't really helpful.

what are you looking for, exactly? it's just a bunch of bloody tissue to a certain stage, and not much of it.. i wonder if my friend (works as a nurse in a clinic) would be able to photograph something for you, or if that's against any sort of rule....

That's exactly what I'm looking for.... being assaulted with all these false images from the people that protest outside of my PP, I want a real image and I keep hearing that it just looks like a blood clot so I'd like proof of that. I like having as much evidence as I can of things I believe strongly in (:

for a good approximation:

i remember quite vividly what the jar looked like as they removed it from the room after my abortion:

about a quart jar. somewhat filled with clumpy period blood. really. if they poured it out onto a cafeteria tray, it would look just like waht i dump out of my Instead Cup. the foetus is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. so you would need a microscope and quite possibly a medical degree to recognize baby parts in all that. ...

I'm curious why you chose to pour it on a cafeteria tray, instead of a bowl or something. Just an interesting choice of words. :)

i was thinking she was trying to explain what would happen if you put it onto a flat surface, vs putting it in a container where you cannot see the contents as clearly

Ah, that makes sense. I just didn't get where the food connotation came in.

Thanks so much (: That's what I keep reading it would be like, but reading isn't reality.

I found this (http://community.livejournal.com/ljforchoice/609955.html) (actual images immediately after the link) and this (http://community.livejournal.com/abortioninfo/190100.html) (text links to more links) through the memories in abortioninfo.

They look to be pics of fetal development; I don't know whether they specifically came from abortions.

Thos pictures in the first link amaze me at just what our bodies can do.

Yeah I am strangely obsessed with fetal development

Here's (http://pics.livejournal.com/tirlasutaa/pic/0000b3f6) the contents of the jar laying on the table. I will remove this pic from my account in a couple days.

Saved, thank you.

Honestly, a first trimester abortion is just going to be a mess of tissue and look like period matter. A fetus doesn't really come into the 'picture' until later in the pregnancy.

oh man i used to have this amazing picture of an actual abortion. it wasn't tastless like the whole mutilated baby thing (i have a friend who carries a picture of one around in her wallet. yeah. shes a crazy hippie) but grrr i can't find it. i'm sorry :(

[zellie-bean.livejournal.com]

Exactly... it's so disturbing. I used to believe the pictures were real too, I mean... WHY would someone fake something like that?! But someone out there must know that the pictures aren't what they're saying they are (last time I asked I was told they're more likely pictures of far later in pregnancy when the baby has died in the womb and is being taken out because...well it's already dead) or they wouldn't be circulating in the first place....and that kind of dishonesty is really frightening.
