Melissa Harris-Perry of MSNBC Mocks victims of abortion

LifeNews covers how Melissa Harris-Perry of MSNBC mocked unborn babies by deliberately breaking a model of a fertilized egg and acting as though unformed fertilized eggs were what was destroyed in abortion. She said:

“Oh, no. That might be bad. I seemed to have popped open the fertilized egg. We’ll put that back together. But the very idea that this would constitute a person, right? And that some set of constitutional rights should come to this. Look, I get that that is a particular kind of faith claim. It’s not associated with science. But the reality is that if this turns into a person, right, there are economic consequences, right? The cost to raise a child, $10,000 a year up to $20,000 a year. When you’re talking about what it actually costs to have this thing turn into a human, why not allow women to make the best choices that we can with as many resources and options instead of trying to come in and regulate this process?”

In reality, it is babies like the one below that are being aborted. The baby in the picture is a weeks old. The 2nd picture shows what a baby this age looks like after an abortion. The typical abortion is done around this age.

Also, even if babies were being aborted when they were still in the state of being fertilized eggs, life would still be taken by abortion. Science teaches that life begins at conception.

Former abortionist: “Abortion destroys women”

Dr. A. Panay performed over 10,000 abortions. She now compares abortion to infanticide. According to the article:

“[Dr. Panay says that] abortion destroys women, it violates their spirit and their souls, and equally important, it damages the reproductive tract to the extent that she believes gynecologists are seeing more problems with infertility than ever before.”

Planned Parenthood separates abortion seeking teen from mother’s influence

Ashley Crowley, whose mother was a teen when she gave birth to her, had an abortion when confronted with a similar situation. Her baby’s father verbally abused her when he found out she was pregnant. She told her story at Abolish Human Abortion:

“And just like my mother, I became pregnant around the same age she became pregnant with me. Somewhere along the road when we were dating, he had promised to step up if I should ever get pregnant, but upon telling him the surprising news, he called me a whore and demanded I abort the “wretched nuisance”.

… I told my mother I was pregnant, taking her to a Planned Parenthood facility where I knew full well they offered abortions. I tricked my mother into taking me to this place because although we were going to find out how far along I was, I never informed her what they would offer me under the table. But what I hadn’t noticed was their prerogative to transfer upon finding out I was over 18, intentionally isolating me from my mother to go over what services they rendered. I never felt they cared about my situation later on, but because of the mental state I was in, they easily deceived me by saying this would be the only guaranteed way to fix all my problems.

My parents told me if I put my baby up for adoption, they would fight tooth and nail for custody. Additionally, a woman I worked with had offered me money for my baby, and the father of my child didn’t want anything to do with her. But what led me to Baby Erin’s fate was looking at the life of a friend of mine life who struggled to raise her own child as a single mother; received no help from her daughter’s father, and caused a tremendous rift in her parents’ relationship. I felt this baby inside of me was a burden, as much as I had fallen in love with her, so when the clinic determined I was “ripe enough”, I terminated my pregnancy on February 23rd, 2009 at about 7 weeks into my first trimester.

Week 7

….. I’ll never know if Erin was going to be a boy or a girl. There isn’t a grave I can visit to lay a wreath of flowers on. I don’t even have a picture of Erin. All I have is a receipt of the amount it cost to have Erin killed. Erin exists now only in my memory.”

Teenagers discuss rising abortion rates in their high school

Pro-life author George Grant interviewed 3 teenagers discussing how abortions among high school students rose when an in school sexual health clinic opened up in their school.

From Grant:

“Milly Washington, Lanita Garza, and Denise Rashad attended high school together in Minneapolis. 2 years ago, the district installed an experimental school-based clinic on their high school campus. “At first I thought it was a real good idea,” Denise told me.

“Yeah. Me too,” Lanita chimed in.

“I mean, there’s been lots of girls that’s left school cause they got in trouble,” said Denise, “and I believed this might help some.”

“But it hasn’t,” Milly said. “All it’s done is make it so gettin’ in trouble is normal now.”

“And with an easy way out,” Denise added.

“Yeah. Abortion. It’s weird, but you know, a couple of years ago, I didn’t know anybody who’d had an abortion,” said Milly. “Now it’s like everybody’s had at least one. Lots have 2. Or even more than that.”

Christian late-term abortionist and Martin Luther King Jr.

LifeNews recently wrote about an abortionist named Willie J. Parker who identifies as Christian. He performs abortions up to 24 weeks and 6 days.

What inspires this African American doctor to kill 24 week babies like the one below? The words of Martin Luther King Jr.

24 weeks

“In listening to a sermon by Dr. Martin Luther King, I came to a deeper understanding of my spirituality, which places a higher value on compassion. King said what made the good Samaritan “good” is that instead of focusing on would happen to him by stopping to help the traveler, he was more concerned about what would happen to the traveler if he didn’t stop to help.

I became more concerned about what would happen to these women if I, as an obstetrician, did not help them.”

He also says:

“ I think my work is honorable and important, and I won’t be distracted. It’s what I believe in my heart is the right thing to do.”

There is, however, a limit to his “altruism.” He won’t do abortions after the legal cutoff.

“I don’t do abortions beyond 24 weeks and 6 days. In the absence of lifesaving measures, my cutoff is the legal limit. That becomes a moving target, but nobody in D.C. does them beyond 25 weeks. Once a fetus has the possibility to survive outside the womb — with or without extraordinary support measures — I will not do an abortion. The only exception is if a woman’s life is in danger or the fetus is fatally flawed.”

“Why I perform abortions: A Christian obstetrician explains his choice” Star Ledger May 27, 2012

So the law pretty much stops him from killing babies that are able to be born alive. Of course, unborn babies have survived being born as early as 21 weeks. Or, in the case of a study done in Journal of American Medical Association, as early as 20 weeks.

Some abortions at or around 24 weeks are done by tearing the baby apart with forceps, a D&E abortion. Here is a chart of such an abortion at 23 weeks

Planned Parenthood worker: “what I do is murder”

From the introduction of a Sidewalk Counseling book by former clinic worker Judy Fetrow:

As a Planned Parenthood Reproductive Health Specialist, Judith worked as an abortion counselor and as a surgical assistant during abortion procedures. This brought her face to face with what abortion is, the killing of a child.

When Judith worked for Planned Parenthood, pro-life activists would often ask her when she thought life began. She would answer, “Life begins at conception and what I do is murder.”

Abortion safety consultant OKs clinic with 17 pages of health violations

LifeNews describes terrible conditions found in one abortion clinic:

A June 1, 2012 inspection of the Amethyst Health Center for Women in Manassas found 17 pages of deficiencies including infection prevention citations, storage and dispensing of drugs citations, quality assurance citations, maintenance citations, and local and state code standards citations.

Even more disturbing:

Incredibly, this came just two months after a 3/27/2012 meeting of the abortion center’s “Quality Assurance Committee” including “Administrator/Owner, Medical Director/Physician, Counselor, LPN, CNA, and a consultant” concluded, “The staff was polled regarding any concerns about patient care and nothing was identified … No concerns have been identified and no measures need to be implemented at this time by the Quality Assurance Committee.”

Over one third of OB/GYN residents have no training in abortions

According to Medical Students for Choice, an organization that advocates for medical schools to train more abortion providers over a third of OB/GYN residents have no training in first trimester abortions. The organization also says that nearly all family practitioners lack this training:

“97% of family practice residents and 36% of OB/GYN residents have no experience in first trimester abortion procedures.”

Abortionist laments the fact that babies might be born alive

Dr. Lisa Perriera, abortionist at Preterm, an abortion clinic in Cleveland:

“[On the heartbeat bill]. It would have presented a lot of issues. It would’ve required women to travel to other places to have abortions if they wanted to have them. But the patients that I care for are of so little means already, it would have forced them to continue their pregnancy. We would have had a lot more women that are having babies that don’t want to have them.”

Robin Marty, Jessica Mason Pieklo Crow After Roe (Brooklyn, New York: ig Publishing, 2013) 41

The Heartbeat Bill was a proposed pro-life law that would have banned abortion after the heart of the baby can be heard in the clinic. Although the heart begins beating at 21 days or so, instruments cannot detect the heartbeat until somewhat later. However, this law would have criminalized all but the very earliest abortions.

Unborn baby at 9 weeks. Over 40% of all abortions are done after this point, in the 10th week or beyond. Abortion at this stage would be illegal if a heartbeat law was in effect.

This abortionist clearly laments the fact that babies might be born who would otherwise be aborted. Preventing abortions, in her view,seems to be the wrong thing to do. She laments the fact that women would have their babies and reveals a proabortion mindset

Majority of abortionists are men, clinic worker says

From British clinic worker Moira Wilson:

“The vast majority of abortion surgeons available are men. These surgeons are highly trained experts. But, unfortunately, if a woman feels uncomfortable about a man performing the procedure, she is unlikely to be able to request a female surgeon. She will be supported by nurses throughout treatment, who are very likely to be female, and a request to have a female nurse present should be possible to meet.”

Johanna Payton Abortion: The Essential Guide (Need2Know, October 16th 2012) Kindle edition

The term “treatment” is often used in England as euphemism for an abortion procedure.

It’s interesting to reflect on how most abortion doctors are male. Pro-life feminists say that abortion is demeaning and exploitive to women. Could it be that women physicians sense this and are less likely to participate in abortions? Why are all the women working these clinics (that Wilson describes) subservient to the men?
