180 Movie

If You Care About the Unborn
—Rachel (Comfort) Zwayne

A few months ago, when my dad and the staff of Living Waters were putting together the “180” documentary, my family and I were spending the night at my parents’ house. We had spent the evening discussing “180” and the heavy issues that are in the film. After everyone retired to bed, I couldn’t settle, so I decided to stay up and do something that had been on my heart. I decided to expose myself to some graphic abortion footage, in order to stir my heart up even more. It wasn’t something that I “felt” like doing, as it is so heart-wrenching, but I knew that I needed to. It’s so easy for us to be anti-abortion, but forget how heinous the act really is. I went to a recommended pro-life website and decided to watch a four-minute video that was posted on there. As you can imagine, I wept through the whole thing. I had seen many similar pictures in the past, but I needed to be reminded again. Then at the end of the video, they showed some unreal footage. What you see is a doctor’s gloved hands wrapping up an aborted baby’s lifeless body. It lasts about 4 seconds, but that image is forever etched in my memory. I pictured in my mind, that man callously dumping that precious body into the trash. It is how you would treat an animal, a piece of meat. That precious, beautiful creation of God was thrown into the garbage, never one human soul having loved it, protected it, cared for it or cradled it in their arms. Of course, I “knew” of the reality of this happening every day, but to actually see this particular footage was haunting. I got off the computer and sat down on my parents’ couch in a daze, weeping, and completely speechless.

The reason I write this, is to urge you to watch “180” if you haven’t already. After you have done that, please pass it along to as many people as you can. And then, I urge you to expose yourself to the reality of what is truly going on down the street from you. Many people will say that they can’t handle the graphic nature of the pictures, but I would ask, why can’t we handle them? Is it because it makes US feel uncomfortable, scared, haunted, or might even give us nightmares? Wouldn’t that be a good thing? Those feelings can cause us to act. We have to ask ourselves what the reason is that we stay away from the details of what’s going on. Are we afraid of how it will make US feel? There is nothing like a good dose of the ugly, ugly truth to get us to act. We need to expose ourselves to the wickedness of abortion and how it is done, whether through written information or through images.

For many years, I have felt frustrated and disheartened with the issue of abortion, wondering how I could really make my voice heard. “180” is an amazing solution in getting our voices out there. We can send a message around the world from our own homes. Not only does it deal strongly with the issue of abortion, it leaves people with the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ! Let’s link our arms and fight for, not only the lives of the unborn, but the souls of the unsaved.
