Abortionist Amos Grunebaum Said the following under oath at the partial-birth abortion ban trial in New York:
“We have been told by grieving counselors to take pictures of all dead fetuses and babies – specifically babies, but also fetuses – so there is a memory of the baby by the mother.”
Testimony of abortionist Dr Amos Grunebaum, National Abortion Federation, et. al. v. Ashcroft, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, March 30, 2004.
He is referring to the practice of late-term abortionists’ giving “keepsakes” to women who have abortions. These women are offered the chance to hold their babies and “say goodbye” as if it were a natural death or miscarriage. Some of them take photographs with their dead child. Other abortionists have also spoken of this and Dr. George Tiller offered such services in his late term abortion clinic.
The women or couples that do this are usually ones that aborted their babies because the babies would’ve been disabled – in some cases, these children had such severe problems if they would have been stillborn or may have died soon after birth, but in many more cases, the disability was one that the child could’ve lived with.Below is one such picture. It was taken of a woman who now regrets her abortion. Her identity has been obscured, but you can see the body of the baby and her features (the child was a girl). The baby had been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a serious illness, But one that can be managed. The average life expectancy for someone with cystic fibrosis is in the early 40s. Perhaps 40 years of life were taken from this baby.
