Reason 1 (Sherry): Her 8-week ultrasound. She didn't see a clump of cells — she saw her child. "My choice was to keep her alive or kill her." Ultrasound compilation shows parents instinctively calling the image "he" or "she," never "the fetus."

Reason 4 (Sirius Supernova): Realizing "all the choice is decided by one person when in reality there are two people involved."

Reason 4 — two people, not one

Reason 6 — the abortion industry and Planned Parenthood
