To the lay person the edited videos are disturbing because I think most people don't think about what happens to the contents of an abortion. That doesn't mean people do not support choice. It's treated as medical waste unless used for research. People that dispose of medical waste are probably not disturbed by this as much as people who never thought about this.
I'm not mad at anyone who is disturbed by the edited video. I had this conversation with one of my many prochoice friends who found the discussion of aborted embryos disturbing and she honestly never thought about how medical waste is handled.

The videos are heavily edited. Dr Hobbitstein Aug 2015 #1
