Woman Regrets Abortion, Says “Quick Fix” Didn’t Work

“My husband and I were heavily involved with drugs, he convinced me to get an abortion. I was of the feeling (although I knew better) that this wasn’t really a baby. It was a “mass of tissue” I was getting rid of.

I was lucky that the clinic I went to was clean. I was not given any “counseling”. I was not told how well developed my baby was. I lied to the abortionist about how far along I was, so he would do a suction abortion on me.

My marriage ended in divorce. I grieved for a long time when I faced what I had really done. I am now happily married, no longer involved with drugs, and am very involved in the Pro-Life Movement.

I feel healed. I made a confession to a Priest, followed his advice and have become involved in letting people know that they are carrying a life inside of them. I feel very good about myself now.

It made me a much sadder person for a while. The quick-fix didn’t work for me. I feel that I am a stronger advocate for life because of my abortion.”

Abortion Makes Doctor Rich

About abortionist Edward Allred:

“Make no mistake: abortion has been very good to Allred. After a two-year stint as an Army doctor, he began his private practice in 1967 with a “negative net worth.” Today he owns several exclusive mansions, a fleet of expensive cars and jets, Rolling A Ranches in Nevada, and New Mexico’s prestigious Ruidoso Downs racecourse, where slot-machine gambling is legal. In 1989, Allred parlayed his fortune into partial ownership of the $47 million Los Alamitos Race Course in Cypress. February, the quarter-horse aficionado (he stables more than 400 of them) announced that he had bought out his last major partner to become sole owner of the lucrative racetrack, which takes in more than $1 million in bets daily.”

Lacking Support, College Student Aborts

“I was in college and my boyfriend left me and my mother wouldn’t help me. I felt I didn’t have any other choice.
[The abortion] was very painful (I did not have anesthesia). The nurse held my hand and the doctor said, “Oh, it doesn’t hurt that much” (male doctor). One week later I bled through my clothes down my legs — still, I didn’t seek help because I was scared and embarrassed.

It was the most painful, most sad time in my life. I still grieve and it’s been over 10 years. My mother still hasn’t forgiven me. My father died when I was 14 and my abortion was as painful as that experience.

I started with ABBA. I hope someday I can help another young girl to save her baby.

I now have 3 beautiful boys. It makes me sad to think I could have had a child that was 11 years old right now. I always have this urge to have another child — maybe to replace the one that’s gone.”

Abortion Clinic Run for Profit

Former employees of the Bread and Roses abortion clinic told the Feminist Voices Journal that:

Employee Margaret,

“The real philosophy is, each woman is worth X amount of money, and the more women we can see the more money we can make. It was not, ‘How did you treat the patients?’ but “how fast did you draw their blood.”

Employee Laura McEnaney,

” We were told…get them in and get them out. I was admonished for not going quick enough.”

Several employees likened the clinic to ” an assembly line” and a “7-11″

Employee Judy said Bread and Roses is an example of what an abortion clinic should not be,”it just fuels the fire for pro-lifers and that worries me.”

Two employees said they were trained to,” maximize the marketing potential.”

Abortionist: You’d Walk into a Sea of Money

Abortion provider Dr. Don Sloan.

“It was a cash business. The price was right for the service provided…But we had volume. The receptionists at the desk collected the fees, and when the cash boxes overflowed, as they did nearly every day, they filled the drawers…counting it was time consuming; sometimes it didn’t get done right away. When the banks weren’t open, we just closed off a room and put the none-too-neat piles of money in it. By the end of the weekend, you’d open a door and walk into a sea of money.”

Doctor Debates Making Money off Abortion

On the eve of Roe Vs. Wade, a doctor ponders whether or not he should begin performing abortions. He says:

“I must decide whether I should get rich or watch my colleagues get rich from my rejects [the abortions he refused to do]”

Modern Medicine, May 14, 1973, page 35: quoted on page 227 of James Tunstead Burtechaell, C.S.C. Rachel Weeping: the Case against Abortion (San Francisco, CA: Harper & Row Publishers, 1982)

Unsure Of The Baby’s Father, Woman Has An Abortion

“I was having marital problems. I confessed my unfaithfulness to my husband. I became pregnant. There was a question of who the father was. My husband said he would not love another man’s baby. I felt to save my marriage, to prove my love, I had an abortion.

I was numb emotionally. I cried the whole time. My husband sat in the car with our two children the whole time. I felt physical pain during the procedure. I just cried because of what I did and the price I was paying for what I did.
I hated myself. I sinned the unforgivable sin. I knew that I was going to hell when I died. I couldn’t believe my husband would allow the abortion and I felt I deserved any pain and punishment that I felt. My husband got a vasectomy. He told me there would be no question anymore. To retaliate I got a tubal ligation. I became very irresponsible. My life went down ever since.

It has been 12 years since my abortion. I never did anything positive to deal with it until now. I had a nervous breakdown. I was in the hospital for two weeks, when a counselor suggested the P.A.T.H. program. I could hardly wait for the chance to begin.

I realized I didn’t know myself and what I was capable of doing. I felt unworthy as a human being to experience any kind of or joy or happiness. I am jealous of pregnant women. I am just learning how my abortion has affected my life.

Abortionist: I Had Money Coming out of My Ears

One former abortionist was quoted saying:

“I had so much money, I would go out to lunch sometimes, out of boredom, and buy a new automobile. Sometimes I would leave in the afternoon, and I would fly to another city to have dinner. I had money coming out of my ears. I couldn’t spend it fast enough.”

Paul deParrie The Rescuers. (Brentwood, Tennessee: Wolgemuth & Hyatt Publishers) 1989 p 123
