From a publication written in 2004 on late-term abortionist George Tiller, who was later assassinated:
“Tiller built the 18-room, 8,500 square-foot house in Wichita, once assessed at$732,000 but now worth over$1 million.”

Violence against abortion providers is despicable and not endorsed in any way by Clinic Quotes or any other mainstream pro-life group. However, this quote is included as another testimony to how lucrative abortion can be for doctors who perform them.
A woman who had an abortion talks about the aftermath in the magazine America:
6 weeks
During the next 18 years I never gave theabortionmore than a moment’s thought. Hadn’t I made the phone call as soon as I thought I might be pregnant? Hadn’t the nurse at the clinic told me that at six weeks the fetus was a blob of muscle and tissue, not a real person yet? Isn’t the discussion on when life begins being argued in worldwide circles? Because I was so quick to act, theabortionhad little effect on me-until I became sober.
It was then I knew I had done something terribly wrong. I couldn’t find a way to make amends for taking a life that God wanted in this world. There was a saying in my recovery group that if the program wasn’t working for you to look back on your life and find something you didn’t think important at the time. After almost two decades of prayer and meditation, living a good life and making amends for harms done, something was still wrong with me. I had a picture-perfect sobriety, yet all was not right. Could the quickabortionin January 1973 when I was 27 be what I thought wasn’t important? Well, maybe.
She went to confession 3 times and confessed the abortion, but found no healing until the priest told her to go to Rachel’s Vineyard retreat, which helped her.
If I were to speak to any woman thinking about an abortion, I would put my arm around her and tell her about my abrupt alienation from my husband, my alcoholism, my drug addiction, the period during which I hated the church I had earlier loved, the dark life of sin. Then I would urge her to choose life.
She named her aborted daughter Jane Marie.

Rickie Solinger quoted another pro-choice feminist saying the following:
“I consider the right to elective abortion… the cornerstone of the women’s movement… Without that right, we’d have about as many rights as the cow in the pasture that’s taken to the bull once a year.”

Christiane Northrup, former abortionist, on why life is too valuable to ban abortion:
“The bond between mother and child is the most intimate bond in human experience. In this most primary of human relationships, love, welcome, and receptivity should be present in abundance. Forcing a woman to bear and raise a child against her will is therefore an act of violence. It constricts and degrades the mother – child bond and sows the seeds of hatred rather than love. … Life is too valuable to inhibit its full blossoming and potential by forcing a woman to bear it against her will.”
Is banning abortion an act of violence? Or is performing an abortion an act of violence? Below are 2 pictures of abortions at 10 weeks, still the first trimester, within the time when most abortions are performed. Would preventing these abortions be “violence”?
