For abortion providers, stigma is a “common challenge”

Our research with a range of workers providing abortion care has shown that stigma is a common challenge. The question of ‘what do you do for work’ can be loaded for this group, often couched in fears of judgment and rejection (not so much fear of violence). For some, this means they don’t tell friends, acquaintances, and even some family members what they do. Or, as one person in our recent publication explained, “I edit, I omit.”

Pastor “heartbroken” over past abortion

A man whose partner had an abortion said this:

“I conceded to an abortion. And even as a pastor, that decision still haunts me today. What would that child look like? Would it be boy? Would it be a girl? Their first steps, saying ‘daddy,’ watching them grow – but those are just dreams, and dreams which often leave me heartbroken.”

Doctor: “Therapeutic” abortion is never necessary

“Thousands of physicians across the United States, each of whom has cared for hundreds of mothers and infants during their respective years of practice, state firmly that they have never in these thousands of pregnancies seen a single instance where the life of the infant had to be sacrificed to save the mother, nor have they seen a situation where a mother has been lost for failure of the physician to perform an abortion. In fact, in more than 13 years of obstetrical practice, I never lost a mother from any cause… With today’s advanced medical knowledge and practice, a “therapeutic” abortion is never necessary, because competent physicians, using the latest medical and surgical techniques, can preserve the lives of both the mother and the child.”

Dr. John L Grady, former Chief of Staff at Glades General Hospital in Florida

Quoted in Kent Kelly Abortion (Southern Pines: Calvary Press, 1981) 96

If this was true in 1981, and must be even more true today, more than 30 years later, when medicine has advanced

It is a twisted organization that says that BANNING this (not DOING this) is cruel.

Abortion can be “uncomfortable” procedure

“It is now becoming apparent that, contrary to wishful thinking, abortion can be a relatively uncomfortable procedure. For early abortion many patients can be managed adequately with mild sedation and paracervical local anesthesia, but for a “considerable” number this is not sufficient to provide satisfactory analgesia, nor to prevent agitated and abrupt pelvic movements which can only contribute to increasing the complications rate…”

Pro-choicer Andrew Green makes the following pro-choice argument:

If life begins at conception, then why do I not recall one solitary moment of my life prior to age 4?”

Abortion clinic worker: clinic is “perfect world” that “fulfills me”

Emily Letts, abortion counselor, after she went to work at Cherry Hill Women’s Center abortion clinic:

“I fell into this perfect world that fulfills me in so many different ways.”

Quoted in “Hashtag can’t Change the Reality of Abortion.” The Advocate Nov 30 2015

Letts is the clinic worker who videotaped herself having an abortion (of course, she never showed anything below her waste, and never showed the aborted child)

This is a picture of a baby’s legs at 8 weeks. They were torn off in an abortion. This is the world Letts finds so perfect.

Former abortionist comments on doctor/patient relationship

Former abortionist Dr. Robert Siudmack comments on the lack of doctor/patient relationship in an abortion clinic:

“I would like to believe all doctors share a genuine concern for the health and well-being of their patients. The doctor-patient relationship is unique one that is started on the first visit and develops over the course of time. In an abortion clinic, there is no doctor-patient relationship. The doctor enters the room, there’s a brief introduction. The patient is already on the table ready to have the procedure done.  There is no sort of opportunity for any sort of meaningful relationship to develop.”

This appeared in the video series “ “The Truth about Abortion.” from Coral Ridge Ministries

Researcher experiments on aborted babies in Finland

Experimentation on living aborted babies is now illegal in the United States. However, there is a history of these experiments being conducted in other countries. In the article cited below, the claim was made that Dr. Jerald Gaull, at the time Chief of Pediatrics at the New York State Institute for Basic Research in Mental Retardation:

“was making “periodic trips to Finland to “experiment on aborted but still living fetuses.”

Quote from the doctor:

“Rather than it being immoral, what we are trying to do, it is immoral – it is a terrible perversion of ethics – to throw these fetuses in the incinerator as is usually done, rather than to get some useful information.”

“New York Pediatric Specialist Dissects Living Unborn for Study,” Child and Family volume 9, number 3, 1970 Quoted in Suzanne M Rini. Beyond Abortion: a Chronicle of Fetal Experimentation. (Rockford, Illinois: Tan Books and Publishers, 1988) 31 to 32

A living “fetus” outside a woman’s body is generally recognized as a premature baby
