You have likely seen the image above. The photograph of a 20-week old fetus was taken by Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson. Another of his photographs graced the cover of Life magazine in April of 1965:

Nilsson’s images forever changed the way that people think about…

… wow. 

I don’t know why I find this so suprising, it shouldn’t be in the slightest but to find out the photo’s everyone has seen used in support of pro-life agenda, the fetus in womb sucking his thumb is actually a dead, aborted fetus whose thumb has been placed their for aesthetic purpose…

wow

would this qualify as irony?

i think so.
