چکیده

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.
