Why this petition matters

Started by Russ Tanner

Given that 48% of the U.S. population identifies as pro-life (over 120 million adults) and 78% consider third trimester and partial birth abortions to be unethical (over 196 million adults), it seems reasonable to require every legislator that will vote on an abortion-related bill to watch a full abortion procedure before voting (from start to finish, including post-procedure disposal).

For example, if the bill is related to second-trimester abortions, the legislator should watch a full second-trimester procedure. Likewise, if the bill is related to partial birth abortions, the legislator should watch a full partial-birth procedure. 

When it comes to human life (we're not talking about chickens, mice, grasshoppers, or single-cell organisms), legislators should not be legislating in a bubble. There's a big difference between talking or reading about abortion and actually watching the procedure.

Will it be hard to watch? Absolutely. That's the point. It's gutwrenching and disturbing. If a legislator is going to put his or her stamp of approval on something so barbaric, at least take the time to watch the full procedure.

WATCH THE PROCEDURE YOU'RE VOTING ON OR DON'T VOTE
