They said it.
“Women don’t choose abortion lightly. But their concern for the lifelong welfare and nurture of children leads them to abort. They have such a strong sense of love and responsibility for their potential baby that they want it to be raised with loving concern and promising opportunities for a good life.”
Rev. Edgar Peara “Abortion ban brings bad memories” The Register Guard (Eugene, OR) March 10, 2006
Medical school professor Dr. Russell L McIntyre:
“Once conception has occurred…. very few physicians afford the product of that conception “zero” value. It may be less valuable than other concerns surrounding the woman’s life, but it is never totally valueless. The conflict is thus between “reasonable” justification for abortion and the woman’s apparent lack of any regard for fetal life that has been begun in her. Physicians facing these “repeaters” in abortion clinics often develop the very uncomfortable feeling that their own value system has been co-opted by a valueless system.”
Russell L McIntyre “Abortion: Perceptions of the Clinical Perspective,” Dialog 17, no. 2 (Spring 1978): 106 quoted in James Tunstead Burtechaell, C.S.C. Rachel Weeping: the Case against Abortion (San Francisco, CA: Harper & Row Publishers, 1982)
Share on FacebookAn abortion counselor says that clinic workers
“go to great lengths to help a youngster through an abortion. Despite the emotional stress of the work, they are, as they say “there for her”…But if the same 15 year old becomes a repeater and returns at 16 and 17, and if she develops a cool attitude toward the counseling experience, the reaction is different. The counselor loses her own professional distance.”
Thelma McCormick and Gary Crum “of Abortion: Pro-Choice or Pro-Life” , University Press, 1992 104
Pro-lifers may point out that if it is wrong to abort a child (the second one) why is it ok to abort another child (the first one?) The sequence may be different, but the fetuses in the womb are the same. They are either both life, or both not life.
An abortionist is quoted saying:
“I do dislike a certain type of modern young woman who indulges promiscuously, uses contraceptives rather reluctantly, preferring repeat abortions, which she regards as lightly as tossing down a cocktail or a glass of whisky.”
British Abortionist William Robinson
The Critic and the Guide. P 24 Quoted in “The Abortion Encyclopedia” by American Life League Chapter 45 http://www.ewtn.com/library/PROLENC/ENCYC045.HTM
If abortion is only an operation that makes a woman no longer pregnant, that removes a ball of cells and “terminates a pregnancy” why would an abortionist be angry at women who take it “lightly?” Abortion doctors see the bodies of aborted babies daily. Therefore, they sometimes feel frustrated when women do not treat their abortions with enough gravity, because the doctors know that abortion is nothing to take lightly.

The following quotes are from Planned Parenthood records which were discovered by pro-lifers after being discarded. They are a clinic worker’s notes on individual abortion cases. The attitudes shown in towards the women is, in my opinion, questionable.
On one woman:
“Very apathetic. Not concerned at all about birth control or repeat abortions. Made wisecracks in VPT [Voluntary Pregnancy Termination] room and laughed at inappropriate moments. Unaffected by entire procedure.”
…..
On another:
“Attitude too casual about VPTs. May be a typical repeater.”
…..
And on another:
“Acted twelve years old. Not very responsible for a seventeen year old. May be a repeater with a birth control attitude. Attitude towards birth control HORRIBLE. Says she’ll probably quit them but doesn’t want any other method. Very immature.”
Robert H. Ruff “Aborting Planned Parenthood: Documented Proof of Planned Parenthood’s Systematic Exploitation of Teenagers and Taxpayers” (New York: Life Cycle Books 1988) p 29-33
Share on FacebookOn her blog “RealChoice” Christina Dunigan quotes a letter a pro-choice columnist received from a nurse who works in an abortion clinic that does late-term abortions. She discusses the women who come to get them. The pro-choice columnist says of Kay’s letter:
“Kay doesn’t believe in criticizing or hounding women who have to make this extremely tough decision due to severe disability. Her feelings are reserved solely for those who use termination as a form of contraception. Women who, up until last week, I hoped were few and far between. But, according to Kay, these terminations far outstrip those carried out because of fetal abnormality or genuine emotional distress. She says:
“There are girls who come back five or six times demanding terminations and they get them. How can someone coming in for their fifth termination be allowed to keep saying it is due to emotional distress? I should imagine in ten year’s time the emotional distress of being allowed to have five terminations is going to take its toll. What is going on?”

Abortionist William Harrison:
“I’ve had lots of patients who come in for second, third, fourth, fifth, even one who had nine abortions.”
Harrison, however, had no problem with repeat abortions. When asked:
“Is that really appropriate?”
He replied:
“If she needs nine abortions, yeah….Basically, abortion is a method of birth control. You know, it’s not the best method of birth control. But all it does is stop the birth of a baby that a woman doesn’t want at a time she doesn’t want it.”
William Harrison, Interview on Nightline Nov 11, 2006
Share on FacebookWarren Hern, abortionist:
” One of the most difficult (patients) for staff members of an abortion facility is the patient who returns several times for repeat abortions.
As coping behavior, repeat abortion leaves much to be desired, but is it worse than becoming an unwilling parent of neglected and disturbed children?”
Warren Hern “Abortion Practice”(Alpenglo Graphics: 1990) chapter 3 p 88
If abortion is not killing a baby, what’s the problem with a woman having repeat abortions? Why should the abortionists care?

Share on FacebookThe New York Newsday reported this while doing a story on abortion in America:
“It is 3:30 and Nancy Todd, a social worker at Sanger, is exhausted. Today she saw a 14-year-old girl who came in for an abortion but knew nothing about what the procedure entailed. There was a woman in her late 20s who came in for her ninth abortion, with whom Todd had a long discussion about birth control.”
