This cartoon about abortion is trying to show how innocent lives are being taken away. Abortion is one person deciding to get rid of another life even though it is an innocent life that has done nothing wrong. Abortion is choosing whether a baby should be born, no one has the right to decide if a life should be ended. This is why in this cartoon abortion is being called "the death sentence" because it is being chosen for the unborn babies without any thought of the babies wanting to be born and to have a chance at life.
Another thing this illustration is trying to do is to link abortion with capital punishment such as the death penalty. A lot of people would be against the death sentence of an innocent person, which is why abortion was compared to it. Seeing abortion as the death sentence of an innocent person makes it easier to get people to look at abortion and see the how it is ending the life of a human that has done nothing wrong and deserves to live. Linking these two topics also gets people who don't have a clear opinion on abortion yet know that sentencing innocent people to death is wrong to see the harm in abortion.
This picture also shows the amount of innocent lives that are taken away daily and are not acknowledged. The word "thousands" makes you think of the excessive amount of abortions that take place on a daily bases. Abortions happen very often and many innocent lives are lost.
