The Faces of Choice Video Reminds Us Abortion Is About a Child, Not a Choice

I have met abortion survivors who have told me their stories, just as I have met people conceived in horrific acts of rape and incest. In each case these are precious people, made in the image of God, with the same value in His sight, and the same right to live as the rest of us.

The following powerful video, produced by Faces of Choice, features adults and children of different ethnicities but with one thing in common: they are abortion survivors. (The group had planned to have the ad shown during the Super Bowl, but Lyric Gillett, their founder, says Fox ultimately rejected the ad.)

May God use this video to awake viewers to the reality that abortion isn’t just another issue; it’s about a baby. It’s not about a choice; it’s about a child. It’s not about politics; it’s about a human being created in the image of God.

Some abortion advocates argue that even if a “fetus” is actually a person, that doesn’t change the fact that one person does not have the right to use the body of another person against their will (in this case, against the mother’s will). Therefore, she should have the right to “evict” the fetus from her body.
