Editorial Reviews

Introduced by Charlton Heston, an Academy Award winner and a conscientious citizen who takes an active part in communiity and film industry affairs. He urges the news media which he charged have "failed badly to inform the public on the abortion issue" to use the film Eclipse of Reason to promote a better informed public. This film produced by Bernard N. Nathanson, M.D. documents the intra-uterine life of a little boy at 5 months of age as seen through a fetoscope - a camera placed inside the pregnant uterus. Riviting images of a late abortion are then shown with a camera both inside and outside the uterus. Consistently verifiable statistics emphasize that this horror takes place 400 times a day in the US alone. In addition, there are deeply moving interviews with the other victims of abortion, women who have been irreparably injured by abortion, physically and psychologically.

5.0 out of 5 stars A horrifying reality, June 11, 2003

By

This review is from: Eclipse Of Reason [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was eight months pregnant and couldn't sleep. At 2am I turned on the TV and saw this video. I was shocked and appalled and deeply disturbed but I was compelled to continue watching. I was moved to tears and disgusted by the horrific awful reality of the real life abortion that showed a fully developed fetus being pulled apart limb by limb and placed on an adjacent table to make sure all body parts were accounted for. Gruesome, real, disturbing.
Dr. Bernard Nathanson, an ex-abortion provider and founder of NARAL turned pro-life, accepts personal responsibility for the murder of thousands of unborn babies. His speech is unemotinal and focused as he explains abortion procedures and techniques from a medical point of view.
Includes insightful and honest interviews of women who have had abortions describing their various medical problems since and how they were mislead and medically uninformed of possible risks prior to their decision to abort. It made me want to run down to the nearest abortion clinic to tell women what they should know about the grim realities of abortion.
If you want to know what abortion really is, see this video before you take a stance on the issue. Eclipse of reason presents the facts and realities of abortion as it shows a baby being killed and dismembered.
Pro-choice people, prepare to change your mind.

It is unreal that this happens thousands of times in the U.S. everyday and it is acceptable. This is an accurate account of what goes on behind clinic doors.

This review is from: Eclipse Of Reason [VHS] (VHS Tape)

a very powerful video / this is reality production. Although it is dated (made in 1987) it is still relevant since the human body has not change and murder is still murder. Very good for revealing TRUTH. This should be on DVD format.
