Dans ce film, Bernard Nathanson, ancien avorteur repenti, sert à la fois d'expert médical et de narrateur. Il décrit les événements de l'avortement « du point de vue de la victime ». Le film compile une série d'images floues de nature échographique. Nathanson montre au grand public les instruments utilisés pour un avortement typique et prétend que la tête, même à la gestation de 12 semaines, sera trop grande pour entrer dans le dispositif d'aspiration ; il montre alors comment les forceps sont utilisés pour écraser le crâne, où les ondes cérébrales, d'après lui, ont été actives pendant six semaines.
