A Silent Scream
Sandy Ressel wrote about what she saw in an abortion recorded on ultrasound in the film, "The Silent Scream", in a letter to the editor of the White Mountain Independent, October 2, 1984:
"We could see her (the baby) playing and turning around and sucking her thumb. We could see her little heart beating away at a normal rate of about 120. But when the first instrument touched the uterine wall, the baby immediately recoiled and her heart rate rose considerably. The baby had not yet been touched by the instrument, but she knew something was trying to invade her sanctuary.
"We watched in horror as this innocent human child was literally drawn and quartered. First the spine, then a leg - piece by piece as the child wildly writher in agony, living through most of the process, thrashing around and trying to escape the menacing instrument...
"Lastly, we witnessed the ghastly outline of the forceps fishing around to find the head to crush and remove because it was too large to pass through the suction tubing..."
"Abortion", said Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta, "kills the consciences of everyone involved."
