We don’t ever talk about babies, we don’t ever talk about what is being decided in abortion. We never talk about responsibility. The word “choice” is the biggest euphemism.
Some use the phrases “products of conception” and “contents of the uterus,” or exchange the word “pregnancy” for the word “fetus.” I think this is a mistake tactically and strategically, and I think it’s wrong…
It is morally and ethically wrong to do abortions without acknowledging what it means to do them.
I performed abortions, I have had an abortion and I am in favor of women having abortions when we choose to do so.
But we should never disregard the fact that being pregnant means there is a baby growing inside of a woman, a baby whose life is ended. We ought not to pretend this is not happening.”

“Working in the autoclave room was never, ever easy. I saw my lost child in every jar of aborted baby parts.
One night after working autoclave my nightmares about dead babies were so gruesome and terrifying and intense I met with the clinic’s director to talk about my feelings.
She was very understanding, open and honest, and painfully forthright when she told me, “What we do here is end a life. Pure and simple. There is no disputing this fact. You need to be OK with this to work here.”
After a few days rotated out of the autoclave room, I felt I was OK with this, and God help me, I went back.”

Dr. William Rashbaum, veteran of thousands of abortions, had for years suffered during each removal a fantasy of the fetus resisting, hanging onto the uterus walls with its tiny fingernails, fighting to stay inside.
How, he was asked, had he managed to perform abortions despite this fantasy?
“Learned to live with it. Like people in concentration camps.”
When asked if he really meant that metaphor:
“I think it’s apt – destruction of life. Look! I’m a person, I’m entitled to my feelings. And my feelings are who gave me or anybody the right to terminate a pregnancy? I’m entitled to that feeling, but I also have no right communicating it to the patient who desperately wants that abortion. I don’t get paid for my feelings. I get paid for my skills…
I’ll be frank. I began to do abortions in large numbers at the time of my divorce when I needed money.
But I also believe in the woman’s right to control their biological destiny. I spent a lot of years learning to deliver babies. Sure, it sometimes hurts to end life instead of bringing it into the world.”

“A late termination is actually not very nice and there is no way of getting away from it, I don’t feel I am doing it for any other reason than for the best of both the mother and the baby.”

Share on FacebookReverend Howard Mooney founded the Clergy Consultation Services before abortion was legalized. This huge network of rabbis, pastors and reverends referred women to abortionists before and after Roe v. Wade. Mooney has had an indirect hand in hundreds of thousands of abortions.
This man of God is quoted saying:
“Conception is life- let’s say that, finally, take that approach- and yes, you’re taking it away. And then we have to develop the rationale for the taking of it, as we develop the rationale for taking life elsewhere- in war, in capital punishment.
[asked if he had any regrets] Regrets? About our stand on abortion? No, no, no. Only for the ones we didn’t get to help- and for them, our work is in front of us.”

Share on FacebookRon Fitzsimmons, head of the National Abortion Federation, an organization for abortion providers:
“Well, when the woman comes in, the fetus is alive. But the doctors that we represent will affect fetal demise in utero. So that means the baby is effectively, you know, dead in the uterus and then the procedure starts.”
Note that he uses the term “baby.”
