They said it.
“After Washington state began to provide public funding for abortions in 1970, the breast cancer rate among the poor rose by 53%, while the rate for rich women dropped by 1%.”

While the clients got adequate medical care and the counselors were solicitous, I thought the staff, in general was overly directive, paternalistic, and even callous at times.”

A woman who became an abortion activist explains why she got involved:
“They were out where you could see them, and you just [sighs and stutters]… I saw a lot of people who had abortions, and they said, this is what happened, this is what I killed. It was a very emotional experience for a lot of them… What I really saw was a lot of hurting people… I mean, the mothers is what really got me. When I saw all these women who were going through postabortion syndrome, and then most people don’t even recognize it is a real disease. I saw people that were really hurting and millions and millions upon millions more were doing this over and over… Seeing the babies – that made an impression on me that will probably stay with me forever – but I don’t think that was it. I guess a lot of it was hearing people stories… I was opened up to just really what abortion was doing to people. Especially to the mothers. So I decided that something needed to be done.”
She became involved in the Rescue movement, a movement in the late 1980s and early 1990s where large groups of pro-life protesters blocked abortion clinics in an attempt to prevent women from entering them and having abortions.
“When I go to a rescue, I’m trying to save people from hurt, trying to keep people from ruining their lives… I don’t think people know what the abortion is going to do to their child’s life and to their life. And to show them that they are valuable. Because people just do not feel valuable… When I see the women coming in. They’re thinking, “What about me? The most important thing is what situation I’m in, people aren’t going to help me, people aren’t going to love me. I’m going to be abandoned.” That’s really the first place to start. From there you can help the baby… It is a family problem, a social problem that can only be solved by dealing with the whole family… Not just to help the mother, but to help the whole family. Because if she’s going to keep that child, and if I don’t have a healthy mother, the child not going to feel good about themselves either. So by helping her, then I can help everybody.”

Share on FacebookOne hospital worker who had no particular feelings about abortion volunteered to help perform a late term abortion when the assisting nurse, a Catholic, refused. He says of the experience:
“I remember very vividly passing instruments to a well known abortionist on the northeast side of Atlanta as he removed pieces of a then deceased child from its mother’s womb. It was like a puzzle, the doc pieced the corpse together to be sure it was all there. He then delivered the placenta.”
Personal correspondence with Sarah Terzo, Jan 12, 2013
Today he is pro-life.

According to one physician
“Long-term physical effects still haven’t really been studied. For example, RU-486 crosses the blood follicle barrier and has been found in the egg follicles of women taking the drug. How this might affect future fertility, pregnancy, and the health of future children is not yet known…
As an artificial hormone, RU-486 interacts with a host of other hormone receptor sites scattered throughout the body.… Not only does RU-486 block the work of progesterone, but, because of its similar chemical structure, it also blocks the normal activity of cortisol, a hormone crucial to many of the body’s metabolic, nervous, circulatory functions. While most progesterone receptor sites are found in various organs of the female reproductive system, every tissue of the body binds cortisol, theoretically opening every system of the body to RU-486’s toxic effects.
Not only does RU-486 linger in all the body’s tissues for several days, but it is also absorbed into the cells in the area where RNA and DNA are stored. What effects this has on a woman’s DNA or RNA is unknown. But phenyl, an important part of the RU-486 molecule, is known to be toxic substance for humans.”

This clinic worker, like many, decries repeat abortions. If abortion is simply the termination of a pregnancy, the removal of fetal material, the emptying of the uterus, why should clinic workers care how many abortions a woman has. Clinic workers see the bodies of aborted babies every day. they know abortion is a big deal. Read more clinic workers complaining about repeat abortions here.
“I’m not completely and wholly for it. We’ve had several patients in here who came three times in two years… Abortion is not to be used for a birth control method. It’s ridiculous.”
Margaret Briggs, clinic bookkeeper

Share on FacebookMost of the babies in this video were aborted in the first trimester, by suction.
Share on FacebookThese pictures show a D&E abortion, which is the most common type of abortion in the second trimester. Over 135,000 babies a year are killed this way. More of them are healthy babies aborted by healthy mothers.
This was an original video but it was taken off youtube by people who want to censor the truth about abortion.
So I will post pictures of babies who died by D & E. You can then imagine what the procedure was like.
D&E consists of using forceps to tear apart the developing baby.
Some pictures of babies aborted this way.

This video shows a late term abortion where the baby is removed intact. This baby was first injected with poison and killed before being delivered this way. This is why you do not see him reacting as he is pulled from the woman’s body. The majority of abortions done at this time are done on healthy mothers carrying healthy babies.

Although above was a late term abortion, often ones done early are just as gruesome. Below is a picture of some pieces left behind after an abortion at seven weeks after conception.
