What about compassion for the post-abortive women who might see the photos?
It is never compassionate to hide the truth when babies’ lives and women’s souls are at stake. Dr. Alveda King has had two abortions, and she wants women to see the pictures so they can avoid the pain that she has felt.
We know that abortion photos save babies from abortion and spare mothers from unbearable pain. Further, many post-abortive women have reported that seeing abortion photos was their first step to repentance and healing.
So we must ask which is more compassionate, (a) exposing the truth so that post-abortive women can be healed, pre-abortive women can be spared, and babies can be saved, or (b) hiding the truth so the killing never ends?
Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it — I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while — yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. (II Corinthians 7:8-10)
