It caused a sensation when it debuted, being viewed millions of times in just three months. And now a four-minute-long viral video is dramatically changing hearts and minds about abortion.

One-third of women who said they hold “pro-choice” views on abortion had a more negative view of abortion after watching even part of the video, and nearly as many called for abortion to be more strictly regulated.

Dr. Anthony Levatino, who performed more than 1,200 abortions before a life-changing conversion on the issue, narrated four videos for Live Action‘s website, AbortionProcedures.com.

The videos use medically accurate terminology and computer animation that is not graphically violent to depict how the four most common forms of abortion are performed, and list the potential health risks each kind poses to the mother.

Live Action said that tens of millions of people have seen the videos since they went live in late February. But the pro-life investigative group wanted to know what impact its work had on its viewers, especially young women.

The independent polling company Survey Monkey conducted an online survey of 502 women between the ages of 18 and 30, the group most likely to face a decision about abortion. Of those, 208 women described their views on abortion as “pro-choice” and watched all, or part, of Dr. Levatino’s video describing dismemberment (dilation and evacuation, or “D & E”) abortion.
