The Sunday Telegraph describes one woman’s abortion:
“Lucy, who was a receptionist, blames the abortion clinic for failing to give her proper guidance. “You feel like you are on a conveyor belt,” says Lucy. It was one she was unable to get off of.”

A pro-choice woman who had 2 abortions said the following:
“We must go on with our heads held high. During the April ’89 March for Women’s Lives, I felt real strong, real sure in my beliefs, I felt wonderful. I looked at those anti people and they were missing the point, they were ignorant, they were not as compassionate as we were, as human, they were so blinded… Women have choices in life and women cannot keep bringing children into the world that are going to starve and be a drain on the system or turn them into alcoholics. It’s just not fair to the child…. Children are too special.”
Patricia Launneborg Abortion: A Positive Decision (New York: Bergin & Garvey, 1992) 63
Apparently, pro-lifers are not as compassionate as prochoicers because they want to protect women and children from abortion. according to this pro-choicer, babies deserve abortion because they are too “special” to be allowed to live if circumstances are less than perfect. I wonder if this child could talk, would be be grateful to the ‘compassionate” prochoiers who did this to him?
Dr. Nancy Stanwood, abortionist:
There still persists to this day almost 40 years after Roe this perception that any doctor who would do abortions on a regular basis — not the casual, four patients once a year, but those who make it a part of their integrated practice — that they must be quacks or bad doctors. There’s this stigma of the abortionist that — two generations later — still looms large.

Pro-choice radio commentator Leonard Peikoff:
“During the first trimester [the embryo] is a mass of relatively undifferentiated cells that exist as part of a woman’s body. . . . It is not an independently existing, biologically formed organism, let alone a person….That which lives within the body of another can claim no right against its host. Rights belong only to individuals, . . . not to parts of an individual.”
Mary E. Williams. ed. Abortion: Opposing Viewpoints (San Diego, California: Greenhaven Press, 2002) 16
The first trimester child above has every organ he will ever develop including a brain, beating heart, lungs, stomach, and liver. And , if she were a girl, ovaries and a uterus of her own. See here.

“The established pro-choice position–which essentially is: abortion should be legal, a private matter between a woman and her doctor, with no restriction or regulation beyond what is absolutely necessary to protect the woman’s health–makes 50% of the population extremely uncomfortable and unwilling to associate with us,”

Share on FacebookA woman who decided to have an abortion talks about how she and her partner weren’t ready for a child:
“Neither of us is anywhere near baby time right now. We argue over who will take the dog out some days, so I don’t think the diaper changing would go much better.”
The baby they aborted was six weeks old.

Marie Stafford, 50, has worked in the abortion field since 1989:
She has no children.
I was brought up a Roman Catholic to believe that life was sacred, but I have no qualms about abortion.
I feel strongly about the woman’s right to choose. …
[She came to her views partly because of friend who she says died of an illegal abortion]
However, there are times when the reality of it all hits you. When you are at the operation, particularly with the later terminations, it can be difficult. You might think: “Oh God, that’s a potential life.” But you learn to distinguish between the procedure itself and the need to support the woman’s right to choose….
I would have no qualms about having an abortion. …
You see a lot of trauma and tragedy. It’s awful when girls come to you when they have gone over the 24-week limit And sadly some GPs who are anti-abortion delay referring patients until it’s too late. .”…

Former abortionist Robert Siudmack admits that life begins at conception:
“As a doctor, I know, as do my colleagues, that life begins at conception. That life begins the moment of conception is no longer a matter of personal opinion. It is an established medical fact. And this fact is not in dispute in any reputable medical textbook in the world. At the beginning of conception, a distinct, living, and whole human organism is formed.”

“The first time I attended a late termination it was upsetting. I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t sometimes question what I was doing. But above all I believe that the woman must come first. In fact, I feel so strongly about this that when I was 20 weeks pregnant, I assisted in an NHS termination when all my colleagues refused on moral and religious grounds. …
I don’t look at it as the taking away a life because embryos cannot sustain life outside the womb. If women could not have abortions, what would happen to the thousands of unwanted babies?”

Since the abortion we have separated. We constantly argue. She constantly looks at baby things. She desperately wants to become pregnant again. I want our baby back.
