Well, there are pro-choice movies that exist showing the suffering of women
who are recovering from botched-up illegal abortions.  "abortion stories, north
and south" a movie which looks at abortion around the world, is one such movie. 
It is produced by the national film board of Canada. 
The equivalent pro-choice videotape to yours could consist in showing
women screaming (not silently this time!) as they are tortured by back-street
abortionists (I can be sensationalistic too), but I doubt that anybody would
have the heart to actually film such suffering instead of going to the rescue
of the victim.
