Undercover pro-choicer is surprised by what she finds at crisis pregnancy center

Pro-abortion feminist Sarah Mirk went undercover to a pro-life crisis pregnancy center that helps pregnant women. Mirk says:

“The consultation went differently than I thought it would. The counselor wasn’t a Bible beating hell raiser. She didn’t snipe or snarl as she asked me a list of questions about my religious preference and relationship status. Instead, she seemed like a regular woman, a compassionate just past middle-aged woman from a different background than me, dressed a little conservatively.

Maybe, if I’d been born 40 years earlier, to different parents, in a different state, I would’ve wound up in her chair trying to be honest and conservative, rather than critical and liberal.

I told her I didn’t think I was ready to bear my imaginary child, and she nodded kindly.

“This is a major decision,” she said. “The choice is permanent.”

I wasn’t expecting such a balanced response from an organization whose stated mission is “making a life-changing difference in the lives of our unborn.”

At the end of our 10 minute conversation, the counselor wished me well and handed me a fat stack of pamphlets …. Sorting through the glossy flyers and booklets was horrifying. They were antiabortion propaganda… chock full of gory fetus pictures, anguished stories about women who got abortions, and praising, heroic tales of women who decided to keep their children.”

If the “gory” fetus pictures (like these) and stories (like these) are true, is it really “horrifying” to share them? Shouldn’t women be able to learn the truth before they submit to surgery? Does she really think she will get a thorough and unbiased material from abortion clinics? If you think so, go here.

Abortionist describes first trimester abortion

Dr. Warren Hern, abortionist, describes how to do a first trimester suction abortion in his book Abortion Practice:

“The principal motion of the suction handle while in the uterus is rotation. The physician will usually first notice a quantity of amniotic fluid followed by placenta and fetal parts which may be more or less identifiable. As this is happening the patient is advised that she will hear a loud sucking sound. Vital signs should be observed regularly, and a Doppler inaudible to the patient should be used at intervals to determine the presence or absence of fetal heart tones.”

Warren M. Hern. Abortion Practice (Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott Company, 1990)

First trimester unborn baby. Suction abortions are done at this time.

Abortion doctor: “Environment for abortions is ‘ominous’

A pro-choice feminist says cites an article:

“Robert Livingston, a retired doctor who used to perform illegal abortions in the 1960s, recently told a New Jersey newspaper that he “would be afraid” to work today.

“The atmosphere is so ominous now,” he said.

It is an atmosphere fueled by a strategic, steady stream of misinformation.”

Planned Parenthood director says abortion activists lie about deaths from illegal abortion

Malcolm Potts, former Medical Director of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), who helped promote abortion throughout the world, claimed in 1970:

“Those who want the [abortion] law to be liberalized will stress the hazards of illegal abortion and claim that hundreds, or thousands, of women die unnecessarily each year – when the actual number is far lower.”

Malcolm Potts, Peter Diggory and John Peel. (Abortion, Cambridge University Press 1970)

Feminist: Abortion kills ‘something’ – or ‘someone’….

From post-abortive pro-choice feminist Sari Botton:

“For years I told myself I’d withheld [talking about her abortion] because it wasn’t anybody’s business, and maybe it wasn’t.

Later I told myself it was because the topic of abortion was unpleasant and difficult, and nobody wants to talk about it. That’s my husband’s take on it too. He was party to an abortion when he was 40, and although he is very happy it got him out of co-parenting with someone he didn’t want in his life any longer, he remains deeply conflicted about having gone through with it. Even to the staunchest of pro-choicers, the reality of abortion, the termination of something – someone? – that had gotten a start, is unfortunate and sad. It’s still so, so crucial to have an option.”

Pro-choice author: laws describing sonograms make me “question humanity”

From pro-choice author Roxane Gay:

“In the race to see who can punish women the most for daring to make these choices, Texas has outdone itself, going so far as to require women to receive multiple sonograms, to be told about all the services available to encourage them to be pregnant, and most diabolically, to listen to the doctor narrate the sonogram.

This legislation designed to control reproductive freedom is so craven as to make you question humanity. It is repulsive.”

Laws requiring women to get sonograms in fact make abortion safer for women because they are the most accurate way to date pregnancies (determining which abortion instruments can be used safely) and detect tubal/ectopic pregnancies (which can be fatal if not detected and allowed to rupture) before an abortion, and the most accurate way to find retained bits of tissue that can cause an infection after an abortion

And being forced to learn about the unborn baby on a sonogram makes Gay “question humanity”, is “craven”, and “repulsive” but the abortion depicted below is fine? Which is more repulsive- learning facts about fetal development of doing this to a preborn baby?

21 week abortion, legal in most states — is this repulsive?

Doing this to a baby at this age is legal in most states thanks to the efforts of people like Gay. And to be fair, in case I’m accused of only showing rare late term abortions, here is an abortion at 8 weeks, a time when most abortions are performed

Late term abortionist: ‘I’m proud of what I do’

“Abortion is not a four-letter word. I’m proud of what I do.”

Woman has abortion, father doesn’t know yet

A reporter at an abortion clinic observes an abortion patient named Keesha going in for counseling:

In her counseling session, Keesha explains that she’s going back to school and it isn’t a good time in her life to have another baby. The man who got her pregnant is out on the streets, and she expects to see him again, but he doesn’t know she’s here today.

“He thinks he got me knocked up and I’ll have his baby,” she says. “But I ain’t worried about what he’ll do when he finds out.”

Reporter describes counseling of 14-year-old abortion patient

A reporter at an abortion clinic wrote about a young patient who came in:

DeNeese…has never heard of Roe v. Wade. She’s not even in high school yet. At age 14, five months after losing her virginity, she’s now almost 14 weeks pregnant – the maximum length of pregnancy that this clinic will handle.

“I didn’t realize I was this far along,” says DeNeese, a petite girl with large brown eyes and close-cropped hair….

The father of her baby is her steady boyfriend, and when she got pregnant, there was no discussion of keeping the baby. “I just told him I’m having an abortion,” she says. “I don’t think I ever wanna have kids.

DeNeese has full parental support. With her stepmother at her side, DeNeese listens to counselor Jessica Huertas like a schoolgirl who’s been sent to the principal’s office. DeNeese leans over the table, her chin resting on her hand, her eyes rolling as Ms. Huertas delivers a mini-tutorial on how she must continue to use condoms even after she gets a Depo-Provera shot that will keep her from getting pregnant for three months.

No one suggests that DeNeese might want to try sexual abstinence. “We have to be realistic,” says Ms. Monastersky, the clinic director, later in the day. “This girl is going back to her boyfriend and he’s going to say, ‘Oh baby, I love you….’ and well, you know.”
