Doctor Comments on the Faces of Aborted Babies

The fetus has a tiny face and a relatively large head. The bones of the back of the skull are very soft. When we make an incision in the base of the skull, we don’t disturb any of the skin covering the entire skull, we don’t disturb the scalp. So the top and back of the head itself just collapses and looks a little wrinkly and collapsed, but the facial structures are not disturbed at all by that procedure.

Anti-abortion activists impose their religious beliefs on others, says writer

A pro-choice writer speaks out against the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, which decreed that a person who harms or kills an unborn child while committing a federal crime can face charges for injuring the unborn baby. For example, someone who kills a pregnant woman could be charged with two counts of murder under the law.

No children, born or otherwise, will be protected by the so-called Unborn Victims of Violence Act that President Bush signed into law last week. The new measure is a legal trifle that makes it a crime to harm a fetus during the commission of another federal crime. The presumed logic of the bill is that terrorists, drug kingpins and interstate kidnappers will be deterred by the fear that they could face an additional charge if they cause a woman to miscarry during the commission of their crimes. We doubt it.

….

As we have argued before, whether a fetus in utero can be defined as a person with rights is at heart a theological question….. The end goal of the anti-abortion movement is nothing less than to impose its religious worldview on the rest of us.

Abortionist Admits to Crushing Babies’ Skulls

Testimony from a trial in New York concerning partial birth abortion:

THE COURT: Excuse me. Grasping forceps, does that mean you crush the skull?

THE WITNESS: You compress the skull, yes.

THE COURT: You crush it, right?

THE WITNESS: Yes.

Dr. Marilynn Frederiksen, abortionist, in sworn testimony in National Abortion Federation, et. al. v. Ashcroft, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, April 6, 2004

The skull of the baby is crushed in both the now banned partial birth abortion procedure (D&X) and the commonly used D&E procedure, which is still legal.

Dr. Randall K. O’Bannon on RU-486

Dr. Randall K. O’Bannon, who has tracked chemical abortifacients such as RU486 (mifepristone) for National Right to Life for a number of years, discusses the dangers of RU-486 in an article about a proposed law that would regulate facilities that offer it:

“It isn’t as simple as having a doctor pass out some pills. Women undergoing these chemical abortions will endure heavy bleeding, painful cramping, and various forms of gastro-intestinal distress, even if these are ‘successful.'”

Some women “hemorrhage and need emergency surgery,” O’Bannon noted. “A number of women have died in the U.S. after contracting deadly infections. The last thing you want is a doctor who is unprepared to deal with these outcomes.”

Pro-Choice Activist on Clinic’s Dangers

From an article by Misty Mealey:

In 1989, the Miami Herald ran a story about a local abortion clinic whose conditions were so heinous that one woman died and another was maimed. Abortion proponents admitted that they had known about the clinic conditions but had remained silent for political reasons. According to pro-choice advocate Janis Compton–Carr:

“In my gut, I am completely aghast at what goes on at that place. But I staunchly oppose anything that would correct this situation in law.”

17_side — 17 weeks, D &Es can be done at this point

Carhart said at least once a month, an entire fetus is expelled from the mother during a D&E he is performing. “The fetuses are alive at the time of delivery,” he said. There is a heartbeat “very frequently.”

Picketer Reaches out to Abortion Clinic Worker

A former clinic worker describes a pro-life woman who reached out to her while she was working in the clinic:

The woman’s name was Debra.

“I firmly believed, I thought she was a little misled, probably by the male religious leaders of the pro-life movement. I thought she was a little misled, but I really believed she cared about women. And so when my questions did get too strong, I couldn’t go to the Molly Yard and say, Molly, you got a minute? I went to Debra, and I started asking questions.”

Debra ended up helping the clinic worker leave the abortion business.

Punitive role for abortionists?

Marge Brerer in a workshop entitled “Feminist Perspectives and Reactions” a conference on RU-486:

“Abortion providers, if they are to offer women an open choice between this new method, and vacuum aspiration – and I don’t think it’s at all clear that abortion providers as a group, let alone as individuals, are going to be willing to give women an open choice – in fact, I think there’s some indication that the opposite may be the case – then they will need to explain the differences and similarities in a coherent and accurate way to women.

Women have often said that they see the provider as having a supportive role. I would like to ask whether providers will still be able to have a punitive role, if that’s the role they want to have.”

Anti-progestin Drugs: Ethical, Legal, and Medical Issues, Arlington, Virginia, December 6 – 7, 1991

A punitive role? This feminist hints that some abortion providers have contempt for their patients. Read about this here.
