New abortion scare tactics *sensitive warning, photo included*

[NeedACleverNN]

This is doing the rounds on fb at the moment.

Seriously

There is a website called lost innocents which aims to help those affected by miscarriage and show you what to expect

I've had 2 miscarriages,I struggled ttc no 2 and one time I passed the sac and didn't really know if I was seeing things or it was really the amniotic sac but I was told to save large amounts of tissue to show docs.

That photo could be real, the baby just looks like it is out of the sac and has been cleaned.

if you say it's fake then fair enough.

On lost innocents people post photos like that

Just had a look

Does look similar

The last thing on my mind whilst having a miscarriage was to grab the camera and then post photos of it. I just knew I needed to go to the hospital.

And we don't see photos of still born post 24 weeks babies doing the rounds on Facebook.

And my miscarriages where all the same, insufficient placenta. Bleed at 8 weeks followed by miscarriage. Thankfully I live in a country where abortion is freely accessible.

That lost innocents site is really disturbing....I know they are babies that the parents will mourn for the rest of their lives (I've had 3 miscarriages) but I still think that taking a photo and holding your 12 foetus is just a bit off

Due to the way the facial structure develops, yes, there's absolutely no way that is real. 12w old foetuses don't look like tiny babies.

Can't decide if anti-abortionists are idiots or will just do anything to push their agenda (I suspect the latter)

I still think that taking a photo and holding your 12 foetus is just a bit off I think that statement alone could be taking quite offensively. So you will argue that women should be able to do as they wish regarding their bodies but dont fucking dare wish to take a picture (and lets be clear, the women on that website think of these as their babies, not their foetus' as you word it) or share it with anyone who wants to see?

And you've just posted it on here.

Why ? It's only giving them publicity and causing upset, which is what you they intended.

Well said!

I was thinking it's the British stiff upper lip, we don't really talk about the reality of miscarriage and that it's a baby. Where as in America they do

But we don't post photos of our deceased children or mothers,fathers and friends. Why do pre terms babies deserve no dignity after being passed?

I have no idea how I feel about that site. I didn't hold my foetus out of choice (I passed him/her in my underwear in the toilets of A&E while waiting to be seen). I was in no state of mind to think about whipping my phone out and getting a photo.

Afterwards though, I felt really guilty that I had no idea what happened to them, I was whisked away by a lovely hospital porter who'd heard me lose the plot and they were left on the side in the toilet with one of the nursing staff.

People are normally sent home to miscarry on nhs unless there are complications

I think the aim of the website isn't anti abortion but to help those who have miscarried

No one ever expects to miscarry they expect to have a baby

Thank UAWUE. Maybe it is the British stiff upper lip. Im not sure. Personally, im against abortions and think the limit should be lowered. But socially i'd never get rid of them altogether, despite knowing 99.9999999% I will never ever have one. That said I think it should be a subject that is open to discussion in whatever form and not wanting other people to show what exactly is removed is quite shocking really. Why not? If it 'just a bunch of cells' then I dont get the furore around it.

I have always wondered about the contradiction around pro-life activists plastering really graphic photos of aborted foetuses all over websites/ street banners etc. I'm sure they wouldn't post those sorts of pictures of their own children, family or friends, but these foetuses (who apparently have the exact same rights as the aforementioned) are fair game and not deserving of the same respect?

Personally, im against abortions

When you say this, do you mean you would never personally have one, or that you don't believe that women should have the right to have a say in what happens to their own body? They are two very different thing.

But we don't post photos of our deceased children or mothers,fathers and friends. - Actually for a very long time we did. It was only due to the accessibility of cameras that this practice died out, not anything do with 'dignity'.

Well you get sent home and told to save large bits of tissue and arent offered a hospital cremation or anything.

Some people do post Facebook pics of their stillborns and some people even get tattoos of their faces.

No one actually wants to see the reality. It's not nice to see. There's no denying that!

Id never have one, which is also why i stated that id never get rid of them altogether for other people (not that i support it but i wouldnt ever stop it). But ill never be pro choice, especially given that recently it seems that if you dont support full term abortion then you are anti women and def not pro life.

Obviously I don't apply that to life threatening conditions but for stuff like Downs I think it's unfair.
Downs Syndrome can be a life limiting /threatening condition.

I kind of though I was unshakable, but lost innocents is the first time I have ever seen anything like this. and now I know...

its just incredibly unsettling....

No one actually wants to see the reality. It's not nice to see. There's no denying that - this 100% And imo thats a problem. As something as divisive/important as this we shouldnt be glossing over the reality of it, hiding away under the pretence of 'dignity'.

Wowzers, just looked at that 'Lost Innocents' website. It's really disturbing, sad and fascinating in equal measure. Posting pictures of a 10 week miscarried foetus wrapped in a teeny tiny blanket?

I guess it takes all sorts surprise surprise its an American Christian website

No one really wants to stare at mould or other cell growths either though. I don't think many people look at tumours or cancer after they've been removed. I feel less sad because it's a fetus looking at those images and more just sad for the people that have taken those photos and had to witness those sights.
