“I’ll be blunt. These are going to be incredibly challenging times for us…And our opponents are organized, they’re funded and they are ready to go.”

Pro-life activists are passing laws that restrict abortions at record speed over the past three or four years. A recent poll showed that 58% of Americans are against abortion in all or most cases. The tide is turning.
Clinic worker: “I know there will be a lot of pain”
One clinic worker interviewed by a pro-choice author said the following about abortions at the clinic where she worked:
“At Gino’s, quality of a hamburg[er] depends on who’s working the grill that day. It’s the same with abortions. If Dr. Benjamin is on that day, I know there’ll be few complaints. If it’s Dr. Thomas, I know there will be a lot of pain.”

“The Associated Press reported a study showing “babies start learning about their language-to-be before they are born.” Studies show that while in their mothers’ wombs, “fetuses heard, perceived, listened and learned something about the acoustic structure of American English.”

Share on FacebookPostabortion feminist: I wish my child had been “sacrificed” “with my own hands.”
Postabortion women and pro-choice activist Sue Nathanson regrets her abortion – but she does not seem to regret the death of her unborn baby, but rather the way her child was killed, or as she says it, “sacrificed.” She would rather have had her child killed at home than in a clinic – that is what she says it this truly bizarre quote, in which she seems to be saying that she wishes she could’ve killed the baby herself, with her “own hands”:
“I wish now that my fourth child could have been sacrificed with my love and tears, even with my own hands, in a circle of a family or community of women, in a circle of a compassionate and loving community of men and women who might be able to perceive my vulnerability as a mirror of their own, and not as it was, in a cold and lonely hospital room with instruments of steel.”

Head of postabortion outreach describes what postabortion women go through
Nancyjo Mann, founder and president of Women Exploited by Abortion (WEBA), an early group for post-abortion women which had over 10,000 members and many chapters, gives her observations:
“One psychological effect we see almost all the time is guilt. Others are suicidal impulses, a sense of loss, of unfulfillment. Mourning, regret and remorse. Withdrawal, loss of confidence in decision-making capabilities. They feel that maybe they’ve made a wrong decision, maybe they can’t make another decision right in their life. Lowering of self-esteem. Preoccupation with death. Hostilities, self-destructive behavior, anger and rage. You could lose your temper quickly. A despair, helplessness, desire to remember the death date which is really weird, but you do that. You remember these dates very strongly. Preoccupation with the would be due date or due month. My daughter was due in early March, so in early March. It’s there…”

Young teenager pleads with pro-lifers outside clinic for help, is dragged away from them and forced into abortion clinic
In 2011, sidewalk counselors outside an abortion clinic in Wisconsin witnessed the scene where a very young teenager (probably 11 – 14 years old) was being forced into an abortion by her parents and clinic escorts. Life site news told the story:
“Tobey Neuberger, a sidewalk counselor from Cedarburgh,[Near Milwaukee] said the incident occurred just before 10 a.m. outside Affiliated Medical Services, where she and two other female pro-life counselors gave a “very young” African-American girl literature as she entered the clinic, and told her that she could get more information at a pro-life center across the street. Witnesses said the girl looked anywhere between 11 and 14 years old.”
The girl came out to try and talk to pro-lifers, but was“physically stopped” by clinic escorts.
“Once she said she wanted to go across the street, she [the escort] held up her arm and blocked her, then she put her hand on the kid’s shoulder to stop her,” said Dan Miller, another pro-life sidewalk counselor and witness present at the scene. “The whole group of vigilers were pleading for her to let her go across the street to get free help, and they wouldn’t let her.”
“We could hear her say, ‘please take your hands off me,’” Neuberger, 42, told LifeSiteNews.com. “You could see it in her eyes.” The counselor said that the guardian, who appeared to be her mother, eventually came out of the clinic appearing “very irritated” and “literally pulled her back into the clinic.”
Neuberger said that while they have often seen girls appearing to be forced into the clinic, this situation was different, as the girl had actually asked the counselors to take her across the street. “We’ve seen it before, with the girls going in with red eyes … you get the eyes glazed over, you can tell. She vocally asked for help,” she said. “It was heartbreaking.”
During the conflict, the group of sidewalk counselors nearest the clinic asked for help from Miller, who was across the street, and who then called the police. But, he says, the operator responded by saying there was nothing to be done, and no officers were dispatched.
“I told her what the situation was, they said, well, there’s nothing we can do, she’s with her parents, so there’s nothing going on here,”
….
Miller also noted that the girl’s guardian responded angrily to the pro-life group as the pair left, calling out, “free help my a**.”

It is uncertain whether the girl in this case went through with her abortion that day, but she was not allowed to turn to the pro-lifers for help. So much for her “freedom of choice.”
