This is an amazing show that can now be viewed on line.

This show has two very graphic scenes (you will be warned before they appear) and this should be considered before viewing and showing to young children.

The program The Cost of Abortion was produced by Saint Michael’s Media in 2008. Although Saint Michael’s Media is a religious organization, The Cost of Abortion is not in any way a religious program. It is a purely secular, economic program, addressing the problem of abortion in a direct way – how much does it cost?

Abortion does have a price tag – and that price tag, even in purely economic terms, is too high. As Michael Voris, the presenter of the program, says during the show “If you can’t see it for the children, see it for the money!”

Obviously, the cost of abortion is greater than mere money – but the financial issue is one which must be explored. Bad morality makes bad economic policy, and the economic impact of abortion on the USA is just one of the hundreds of reasons that it must be stopped.

Thank you, Lizaanne. I purchased the DVD and look forward to seeing this. 👍

I think this line of argument is a serious mistake. If you start down this road, then you’ve got to deal with arguments such as the one made in Freakonomics that abortion helped lower crime. These things are simply irrelevant to the moral issue.

It’s almost obscene to say that we should abolish abortion for economic reasons. I think this kind of argument can only hurt the prolife movement (as I think Freakonomics hurt the prochoice movement, though I may be wrong on that one).

Very sad. 😦 I can’t stomach looking at the video either.

Abortion is one of the messages warned by The Virgin Mary and Jesus, to the three seers of Portugal (1917). Abortion is running rampant throughout the entire world.
 
I’m sorry that some of you will not even give this message a chance. The two graphic scenes are only about 90 seconds long each in a one hour program, and you certainly can close your eyes for 90 seconds. There is no audio during these scenes. The message is still relevant and needs to be heard and understood.

This is NOT - repeat - NOT a blood filled and gruesome program. That is not the purpose, or the intent of the show, to display such images gratuitously.

I respect most opinions stated here, but I do hope, that if you do wish to stop the killing, and need good solid statistical information to defend your position against those will refuse to listen to any moral or religious reasoning, to just give this program a chance.

Thank you so much for even taking the time to go to the site or even to this thread.

No thanks, I’ve seen the pictures, those are bad enough and they speak a thousand words, if someone doesn’t get it after looking at one of those murdered innocents, then they aren’t going to get it.

That’s simply not true - there are plenty of people who have seen the horror and yet carry on, and are then turned pro-life by something other than a very emotive image.

Blood and gore are emotionally impacting - but not necessarially mind-changing. Surgeons have seen blood and gore - and abortionists have seen dead babies. Yet abortionists still change their minds - based on evidence other than the simple horror of death.

As to saying it is “obscene” to say that abortion should be banned because of economics, get real. How can it be obscene to say that we should ban abortion for ANY reason? You will notice that the text SPECIFICALLY says that economics is not the only or main reason, but it is ONE reason which some people may respond to.

I’m listening to it now. I’m afraid to watch it though. 😦

I do know there are “50 million abortions a year throughout the entire world” Not just in the U.S. Every nation on this planet are having abortions like popcorn popping in a microwave. :o

Source: WEOP - Section III, By This Means

On July 13, 1917 Our Lady told the three children that She would return, “to ask for the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart.” She fulfilled this promise on June 13, 1929, appearing to Sister Lucy and announcing: The moment has now come when God asks the Holy Father, in union with all the bishops of the world, to consecrate Russia to My Immaculate Heart, promising to save it by this means. The extreme urgency of this request is clear when we consider that Russia cannot be converted any other way, for it is only by this means that Russia can be saved.

Our lady warned this would happen…

Our government sits by while communist spies are given free access to America each year, and allows the Chinese Red Army to establish military bases in America and in Panama at both ends of this most strategic canal.

It is also a story of ruthless human rights abuses:

8 to 10 million Chinese are used in slave labor camps and factories (the loagai) to produce goods for affluent American consumers;

tens of thousands of pro-democracy dissidents are jailed, tortured, and/or executed each year, as millions of Chinese women are forced to have abortions each year;

tens (or hundreds) of thousands of babies, (especially baby girls) are slain each year as part of China s population control program; as thousands of body organs are harvested (some from live victims) and sold to recipients in the West;

the ongoing persecution of Catholics in China has, in 1997, increased greatly with fines, their houses destroyed, beatings, torture, long imprisonment, lack of medical treatment or death while in prison. In November 1996, the Chinese Government issued a 15 page directive to “eradicate” the Catholic Church in China.

Don’t know why you posted this-up in reply to me as I never commented on the economics, but since you did probably yes, hitting them in the pocket could change them.

But it isn’t in their hearts they feel the pain, it’s in their pockets, we know were some peoples priorities are.

It’s a man standing on a stage pointing at a screen with stastics and numbers and maps. That’s all. He will tell you when the graphic scenes are to appear - you will never be ambushed with babies, I promise.

This wasn’t a reply to you - sorry, I should have made that clear. Another user suggested that the economic tactic was obscene. Sorry for the confusion caused.

Are people still touting that study as accurate? I’m shocked. A quick Google search on the Freakonomics abortion study yields much controversy about the conclusions drawn in that book. Sources no less than The Economist and* The Wall Street Journal* have published stories about the flaws behind the “proof” about abortion’s positive effect on the crime rate.

I know that it’s beside the point, but I’m always astounded when people don’t bother checking out the accuracy of sound bytes themselves. 🤷

That’s where I think that some of us differ. I don’t write those people with hearts of stone off as impossible to get to. As a previous poster said, even some abortionists themselves have turned away from this and now condemn it.

If ANY of us can reach one person by ANY means possible, even if it is purely economic, then that is one more person who will fight for these tiny lives.

That is the purpose of this show. Not to try to change the minds of those who already KNOW this is wrong, but the minds of those who will not listen to moral or faith based reasoning and need to hear it from a purely secular position.

Yes - abortion is horrible, and beyond horrible. But there are people who just have to see it from another perspective - why, I don’t know. But I do know that we have to TRY to get them to support life!!

Plenty of Nazis saw the Horror and pain that they were inflicting and carried on. I remember seeing on TV an SS man once saying that the more people you shot and exterminated the easier it got. Perhaps it’s the same with abortionists. Let us all pray for those poor souls who are engaged in this evil procedure.

I’m finish.

That’s amazing. The person that would have invented the remedy for the cure of Cancer and or of Aids was/is most like likely one of the unborn(abortion). 😦

Abortion is going to have us(human race) extinct. :o
