I've sat in on a number of abortions. All first trimester.
If a woman can handle seeing clots in her pad while on her period, she can handle seeing a first trimester abortion.
Now show a woman who doesn't want to be pregnant (hell, show a woman who wants to be pregnant) an uncut video of a woman giving birth. And don't stop when the baby comes out. Show the placenta emerging, show the stitches, and show the vulva post-procedure. Now that's the shit that will make you clamp your legs together.
And hey, I'm not saying one is better than the other. Have all the babies or have none of the babies. But if this poster thinks 'squick' factor should determine political rights, they might want to reexamine the premise.

Also just like... I don't want to see pics of back surgeries either. I still support access to them.

Since when is "look at images of this unpleasant thing" a valid argument, anyway? Yeah, an aborted infant is gross. What's your fucking point?
