The New York Times, The abortion conflict; what it does to one doctor, By Dudley Clendinen; Dudley Clendinen is a New York Times correspondent based in Atlanta :8-11-1985
‘There’s a 6-year-old boy that I delivered that I say hello to, and after the last newspaper article came out, he wouldn’t look at me. That’s the hardest thing for me, because I’ve always prided myself on my relationship with kids. It hurts me.”

Voices of Choice: Doctor’s Stories
“I challenged myself: Is this right? Is this ethical? Is this Christian? Is this appropriate? Am I demeaning myself? Do I want to do abortions? There’s a lot of personal soul-searching. It’s not an easy decision that a physician makes to be an abortion provider.”
Hanson owns her own abortion clinic and was the former Medical Director of Planned Parenthood of Minnesota and South Dakota.

Testimony: House Health care Committee, Full Committee Meeting September 14 and 15, 1989, Florida House of Representatives.
Speaking about the typical abortion patient,
“I think it is basically a personality type who generally has her life out of control and unfortunately nowadays there are no shortage of people in general whose lives are out of control. They drift, they tend to live for the moment in terms not only of their sexual practices but in terms of their economic lives and they are people in general who don’t think beyond the moment, who don’t plan for tomorrow, and who really will take life as it comes and deal with the rest later. It is a personality type is what I am saying rather than any race or socioeconomic group or things of that sort.”
He continues with his opinion of the first time abortion profile:
“There is certainly a very high incidence amongst teenagers and I believe the reason for that is that teenagers generally don’t think of consequences of their actions or ignorant as to contraceptive practices or deny the possibility of pregnancy…”
Benjamin performs abortions in South Florida.

“Women who are thinking about ending a pregnancy are not asking, ‘Is this a life?’ They know that it is. They are asking, ‘Can I take care of this baby?’

ABC News Special, ABC News Forum Abortion: The New Civil War:11-1-1990
In an ABC News interview abortionist Jane Hodgson made the following statements:
“I have supervised and participated in or done approximately 30,000.” (abortions)
PETER JENNINGS asked: They call you a killer. Does that make sense to you?
HODGSON: “Well, I don’t feel that way. I think I have done a humane service for lots of women in this world. I don’t look upon it as killing, no, because I do not consider, in the first place, that any embryo or the fetus is a person. It is a potential person.”
She was asked by a caller, “Exactly what do you define in medical terms as a person?”
HODGSON replied: “I don’t believe there is a medical definition of person, but it means, it implies certainly a- we don’t deny that the fetus or the embryo is human, but personhood implies a great deal more. A person can- a fetus cannot be a person without a brain. Nothing can be a person that does not have a brain. And a fetus does not have a brain that is functional until at least 30 weeks.”
In reality, an unborn baby has brain waves at 40 days after conception. Here at visible embryo you can read about the development of the brain 35 days after conception. In this link from the National Institute of health, you can read about the development of the baby’s brain at 10 weeks after conception. http://www.visembryo.com/baby/10_weeks.html

“As for abortion, it is what it is. The fetus is what it is. In my mind, the one who gets to decide that value is the woman who’s pregnant. It’s as simple as that.”

Pro-Choice Forum: Women’s experiences ‘My Foetus’, Summary and Review by David Paintin,4-24-2004 http://www.prochoiceforum.org.uk/ocrwomex5.asp (this is a review of a documentary that showed an abortion)
“There are reasons why a fetus should not be regarded as a person with full human rights at any time during pregnancy. The fetus is a parasite completely dependent on the woman for continued existence.”
Carol E. Ball
abortionist, Planned Parenthood of South Dakota
Report of the South Dakota Task Force to Study abortion: December 2005
“I would refuse to answer those questions (if asked by the patient if the unborn baby was “human life”), because it is a subjective matter for the woman to decide and an answer from her is nothing but her own subjective opinion.”
