Clinic Closed for Poor Follow-Up Care

Pro-Choicers lament each abortion clinic that goes out of business, but, in reality, most abortion clinics that close do so because the state steps in after they injure or kill women or it is revealed that they’re practicing substandard medicine. Reproductive Health Services in the state of Alabama was closed when it was discovered that the clinic did not provide proper follow-up care for women injured during abortions – which happened disturbingly often in the clinic.

According to Life Dynamics, a woman went to the emergency room two days after her abortion after unsuccessfully trying to contact doctors at the clinic. When the emergency room doctor called the clinic, he was told by a nurse who worked there:

“everyone was out of town” and since the patient was in the ER, “I guess it’s your problem.”

Rick Harris, director of the department’s Bureau of Health Provider Standards responded:

“It’s not OK to operate a health care facility that does surgery and then say ‘We’re going to put them (the abortion clinic) off on the emergency system.’”

Abortionist Sexually Harasses His Patient

An abortionist in New York was cited for sexually harassing a woman who came in for an abortion. According to the NY State Board of Professional Medical Conduct Case # BPMC 01-99 and The Times Herald on January 6, 2001, abortionist Daniel Holschauer made sexual advances toward woman had just performed an abortion on. While removing gauze from her vagina, he said:

“you know, I would really like to be there.”

Then, according to the patient, he began pulling his pants down. He was sexually aroused and told the patient:

“I just did you a favor, now you do me a favor.”

This incident was only one of a number of cases were abortionists sexually harassed or even raped patients in the abortion chamber. Quoted by life dynamics.

Abortionist: “Doesn’t like to Do Abortions”

Abortionist:

“I don’t like to do abortions. To do an abortion is abhorrent to a gynecologist who has spent all his life trying to save the fetus. But, I will do it.”

Planned Parenthood Mistakenly Shows Woman her Ultrasound, With Drastic Results

It is no surprise that many abortion clinics turn the ultrasound screen away from women who are having abortions, and I pro-choice group such as Planned Parenthood vigorously fight legislation that would require a woman to be offered the chance to see her baby on the sonogram. Planned Parenthood fights laws that say a woman has the right to see her ultrasound if she chooses to, even though she is not forced to. This is because Planned Parenthood is vigorously opposed to women having enough information to make an informed decision. Rather, they are willing to pressure women into abortions by withholding information, as this former Planned Parenthood clinic worker describes.

Sidewalk counselor and manager of a crisis pregnancy center Roderick P Murphy tells the following story:

“Anya (pseudonym) was in the abortion facility next door being prepared for an abortion when a Planned Parenthood staffer mistakenly allowed a corner of the ultrasound screen to be seen by her. When the client saw her baby moving on the screen, she panicked, jumped off the table and ran out of the building where our outside counselor steered her toward our office. We counseled her and showed her a full ultrasound screen of her baby and she wept with relief. She kept crying and saying “I almost killed my baby. I almost killed my baby.”

And read about Abby Johnson, clinic manager who converted to the pro-life position after watching an abortion on ultrasound in her facility.

Textbook on Obstetrics Nursing On When Life Begins

“Thus a new cell is formed from the union of a male and a female gamete. [sperm and egg cells] The cell, referred to as the zygote, contains a new combination of genetic material, resulting in an individual different from either parent and from anyone else in the world.”

Sally B Olds, et al., Obstetric Nursing (Menlo Park, California: Addison – Wesley publishing, 1980) P 136

Grandmother of Aborted Baby Feels Grief

Sometimes abortion hurts all those involved, not just the mother, the siblings, and the father. From a schoolteacher in her 40s:

“Advising my daughter to have an abortion led me into a long, suicidal siege. I’m not over it yet. I can picture a baby who never even existed.”

James Patterson and Peter Kim, The Day America Told the Truth (New York: Prentice Hall press, 1991) 33

Intuitively, the woman knows that a baby did exist – a baby that was killed in the abortion.

Managed Care Is Unpopular, Says Doctor

17-wks — legal to abort in every US state

While many pro-choice activists have bemoaned the shortage of abortion providers, one abortionist thinks that new abortionists will step up to the plate after the present ones retire:

“Managed care is such a bad system, many physicians will get fed up with it. This is a cash business, and doctors can make as much doing this as in family practice. I just don’t think there’s ever going to be a shortage of providers.”

Dr. Tom Tvedten

“4 abortion providers in state refuse to let threats dictate practices Doctors face peril, continue work: Physicians perform procedure despite decades of violent opposition”Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (Little Rock, AR) March 27, 2001

Abortion is very profitable for doctors. Working only a few hours a day, they can make as much money as they can with an ordinary career as a doctor.

Being Unplanned Not Detrimental to Children, Says Study

A study in the American Journal of Orthopsychiarty on the characteristics of children who were unplanned by their parents discovered the following:

“one doctor found no relationship between unplanned pregnancies and newborn deviant behavior. In fact, there were more deviant babies of mothers who planned their pregnancies than those who had not.”

AJ Ferriera “The Pregnant Woman’s Emotional Attitude and Its Reflection in the Newborn” American Journal of Orthopsychiarty volume 30, 1960, PP 553

Just because a baby is unplanned does not mean he or she she will not be loved and will not have a happy life.

Mother Jones Speaks Out Against Making Abortion Clinics Safer

One clinic administrator complained about a law that would allow women to sue clinics where they were injured (physically or emotionally) within 10 years of their abortions. The law, vigeously fought by pro-choicers, (who seem to care little for women who are injured in abortions) was defeated, then later passed. Hope Medical Group for Women (abortion clinic) manager Robin Rothrock said, in an article in Mother Jones:

“It was like a really scary movie, when you think the bad guy is dead, and suddenly he rises up and grabs you…There’s no way a physician can perform an abortion with this law on the books. It’s an insane level of exposure.”

Should women injured in abortion, or the families of women killed in abortions, be allowed to sue for damages? Is forbidding them from getting compensation for bad health care anti-woman? Somehow, Mother Jones manages to present idea of injured women seeking justice as a threat to women everywhere. The same article speaks out against abortion clinic regulations. In Louisiana, a news station exposed filthy conditions at Delta Women’s Clinic in Baton Rouge. In response, pro-lifers enacted legislation to require abortion clinics to be inspected and to meet minimum health standards. Mother Jones manages to make excuses for the clinic and advocates against the laws. It quotes a pro-abortion researcher claiming that:

“Having published on every hemorrhaged abortion death in the United States, I can assure you that not a single one was caused by a door width.”

No, but a death could be contributed to by the fact that stretchers can’t get through narrow doors, and lifesaving equipment cannot reach the injured woman.

They say that propaganda is the form of lying that deceives your friends without deceiving your enemies. In this case, Mother Jones serves up some excellent propaganda.
