The Silent Scream

"The Silent Scream" is a powerful animated film created in 1984 by Dr. Bernard Nathanson. It depicts the process of abortion from the perspective of the fetus, illustrating its development and the experience during the procedure. Using ultrasound imagery, the film portrays what it suggests is the fetus’s reaction to the abortion, portraying it as a distressing experience. This work has been influential in the pro-life movement, aiming to raise awareness about fetal pain and the moral implications of abortion, while sparking debates on the rights of unborn children and the ethics surrounding abortion practices.
