  • The Silent Scream (1984), by Bernard Nathanson, Crusade for Life, and American Portrait Films [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) The Silent Scream (1984), by Bernard Nathanson, Crusade for Life, and American Portrait Films [1] By: Zhang, Mark Keywords: Abortion [2] ultrasound [3] Bernard Nathanson [4] The Silent Scream is an anti-abortion [5] film released in 1984 by American Portrait Films, then based in Brunswick, Ohio. The film was created and narrated by Bernard Nathanson, an obstetrician and gynecologist from New York, and it was produced by Crusade for Life, an evangelical anti-abortion [5] organization [6]. In the video, Nathanson narrates ultrasound [7] footage of an abortion [5] of a twelve-week-old fetus [8], claiming that the fetus [8] opened its mouth in what Nathanson calls a silent scream during the procedure. As a result of Nathanson's anti-abortion [5] stance in the film, The Silent Scream contributed to the abortion [5] debate in the 1980s. From 1970 to 1972 Nathanson had directed in New York City, New York the Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health, which he called the largest abortion [5] facility in the western world at that time, and he claimed to help found the National Abortion Rights Action League in New York City. Though he had previously performed abortions, by 1982 Nathanson opposed the procedure, owing his changed stance to the technology of ultrasound [7], which allowed observation of fetuses during abortions. He created the film as a statement against abortion [5], stating that any form of violence should be opposed, including those against a fetus [8]. The Silent Scream begins in Nathanson's office, where he first informs the viewer that he is an obstetrician and a gynecologist and that he had previously performed thousands of abortions.

  • Bernard Nathanson (1926-2011) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Bernard Nathanson (1926-2011) [1] By: Zhang, Mark Keywords: Abortion [2] Reproductive rights [3] Obstetrics [4] Bernard Nathanson was an obstetrician and gynecologist in New York City, New York, who argued for, and later against, womens' rights to abortion [5]. Between 1970 and 1979, Nathanson oversaw at least 75,000 abortions, 5,000 of which he performed himself, earning him the nickname of abortion [5] king. However, his views regarding abortion [5] shifted in 1973, after he watched an abortion [5] using ultrasound [6] imaging technology. Afterwards, Nathanson began to oppose womens' rights to abortion [5], and he published the anti-abortion [5] book Aborting America and produced the film The Silent Scream. Nathanson was born on 31 July 1926 to Harriet Dover and Joseph Nathanson in Manhattan in New York City, New York. Joseph owned a medical practice and taught obstetrics and gynecology at Cornell University [7] Medical School, in New York City. Nathanson and his younger sister, Marion, grew up in a secular Jewish household, yet Nathanson claimed to be an atheist for most of his adult life until he was baptized in 1996 as a Roman Catholic. In Nathanson's memoir, The Hand of God: A Journey from Death to Life by the Abortion Doctor who Changed his Mind, he notes that Joseph had extramarital affairs, was dominating and overbearing, and later drove Marion to suicide at the age of forty-nine. Nathanson also claims that his own support for womens' rights to abortion [5] was due in part to rebellion against his father.

  • Pro-Woman Framing in the Pro-Life Movement
    Fighting for Life: Pro-Woman Framing in the Pro-life Movement Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alexa J. Trumpy Graduate Program in Sociology The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Andrew Martin, Advisor Vincent Roscigno Liana Sayer Copyrighted by Alexa J. Trumpy 2011 Abstract How do marginal actors change hearts and minds? Social movement scholars have long recognized that institutional outsiders target a range of potential allies to press their agenda. While much of the movement research historically privileged formal political activities in explaining social change, understanding the way actors draw upon culture and identity to garner wider support for a variety of social, political, and economic causes has become increasingly important. Ultimately, research that incorporates political process theories with the seemingly dichotomous notions of cultural and collective identity is especially valuable. To better understand how movement actors achieve broad change, I draw on recent attempts to examine how change occurs in fields. I argue it is necessary to examine how a field’s structural and cultural components, as well as the more individual actions, resources, rhetoric, and ideologies of relevant actors, interact to affect field change or maintain stasis. This research does so through an analysis of the current debate over abortion in America, arguably the most viciously divisive religious, moral, political, and legal issue since slavery. Over the past four decades, the American abortion debate has been glibly characterized as fight between the rights of two groups: women and fetuses, with pro-choice groups championing the rights of the former and pro-life groups the latter.

  • Broadcasting Birth Control: Family Planning and Mass Media, 1914-1984
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: BROADCASTING BIRTH CONTROL: FAMILY PLANNING AND MASS MEDIA, 1914-1984 Manon Sian Parry, Ph.D., 2010 Directed By: Professor Sonya Michel, Department of History The history of the birth control movement in the United States is traditionally told through accounts of the leaders and organizations that campaigned to legalize the distribution of contraception. Only recently have historians begun to examine the “cultural work” of printed media including newspapers, magazines, and even novels in fostering support for the cause. This dissertation builds on this scholarship, to examine the films and radio and television broadcasts developed by birth control advocates, and the communications experts they increasingly turned to for guidance, over the course of the twentieth century. As advocates tried to mimic the efforts of commercial advertisers to “sell” health-related behaviors to a wide audience, they crafted the new academic specialty of health communication. I argue that mass media was central to the campaign to transform the private subject of fertility control into one fit for public discussion in the United States. Moreover, the international family planning movement played an instrumental role in establishing and expanding health communication in the promotion of contraception around the globe. As they negotiated for access to cinema and radio platforms from which to promote their cause, birth control advocates toned down their feminist rhetoric of sexual liberation. After the legalization of contraception, censorship and broadcasting conventions affecting educational messages further diluted the kinds of representations they could promote over the radio and on the nation’s television sets. As commercial media became increasingly explicit in the 1960s and ‘70s, family planning promoters conversely expunged sex from their broadcasts for domestic and foreign audiences.

  • Eclipse of Reason (1987) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Eclipse of Reason (1987) [1] By: Abdi-Moradi, Sepehr Keywords: Abortion [2] Eclipse of Reason is a 1987 anti-abortion [3] documentary film directed, filmed, and narrated by Bernard Nathanson, an obstetrician in the US. American Portrait Films released the film in 1987 featuring Nathanson’s commentary and footage of an abortion [3] of a four-month-old fetus [4]. The film also featured the testimony of women who had suffered following similar procedures. In Eclipse of Reason, Nathanson equates the fetus [4] to a person, likening abortion [3] procedures to murder and arguing for the illegalization of abortion [3]. This documentary was a sequel to Nathanson’s first documentary film, The Silent Scream released in 1984. Both documentaries argued for illegalizing abortion [3], which had been decriminalized in 1973 in the United States. Eclipse of Reason was one of the most influential films that garnered public attention to the abortion [3] debate in the US during the 1980s. Before making the film, Nathanson specialized in gynecology and obstetrics, and he helped found and directed the National Abortion Rights Action League, then headquartered in New York City, NY, from 1970 to 1972. Nathanson self-reported performing 60,000 abortions, until later in the 1970s, when he began to argue against women's rights to have access to the procedure. In 1984, Nathanson narrated a film titled The Silent Scream, in which he discussed an abortion [3] procedure as observed on a black and white ultrasound [5]. While The Silent Scream focused on an abortion [3] in the first trimester [6] of pregnancy [7] when the fetus [4] was younger than thirteen weeks old, Eclipse of Reason instead focused on abortion [3] procedures performed during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy [7].

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them” (Ephesians 5,10-11). Among the most destructive works of darkness both two thousand years ago and today is the hidden evil of abortion. Exposing our young ones to the challenges of the world does not follow an exact timeline since a warning given too soon can cause harm. Teaching our children about abortion and related issues, therefore, is primarily a parent’s responsibility. For this role, parents deserve to 1) know about available resources, 2) know approximately when to share them, and 3) be encouraged to do it. Here is a guide to help you with all three.

  • Eclipse of Reason Free
    FREE ECLIPSE OF REASON PDF Max Horkheimer | 144 pages | 27 Jun 2013 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781780938189 | English | London, United Kingdom Eclipse of Reason () | The Embryo Project Encyclopedia Eclipse of Reason is a anti-abortion documentary video directed, filmed, and narrated by Bernard Nathansonwith an introduction by Charlton Heston. Eclipse of Reason represented the argument that the fetus is human, and therefore abortion is murder. Therefore, Eclipse of Reason delivers the same message that abortion is murder, with similar imagery as its predecessor The Silent Scream ; however, to avoid the previous appropriation of language over imagery Eclipse of Reason asks it viewers to consider reason rather than using emotionally charged narration. Eclipse of Reason shows a late term abortion occurring sometime after the fourth month of pregnancy. The film focuses on the limbs of the fetus while in the womb then proceeds Eclipse of Reason show the abortion in graphic detail. Different women who have had abortions and suffered harmful effects from the procedure give testimony later in the film. Nathanson concludes Eclipse of Reason with a montage of photographs that depicts his idea of opposing worlds, one filled with abortions and one without abortions. According to Newsweek, the film is "harder for critics to dismiss as Eclipse of Reason than Eclipse of Reason The Silent Scream. According to one set of critics Nathanson created a world of good pro-life versus evil pro-choicewhich directly opposed his intention of creating a film devoid of any sort of emotionally charged language. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For Eclipse of Reason book published insee Eclipse of Reason Horkheimer.
