“I feel sorry for a starving cat. A fetus that nobody wants – that’s not sad.”

Dr. Etienne–Emile Baulieu, the French doctor who developed the abortion pill RU-486:
“Making a child is an affair of thinking, feeling, and love. Everybody has his or her own definition. It is up to each person to define whether there is, or is not, a person developing in the uterus. The definition of whether or not there is a person developing in the uterus may change for each pregnancy, depending on the circumstances of the people involved. Let people decide for themselves.”

This is what abortion doctor Suzanne Poppema says to a woman she is doing an abortion on:
“I’m going to be stretching your cervix just a little bit, so you’ll feel some pressure and some mild cramping. But it shouldn’t be anything that hurts a lot. So if it does, then please tell me because I can fix that easily.” She still seems relaxed. Seconds later I tell her that the stretching of the cervix is accomplished and “we’re more than half way done now.” Dawn reports that she feels all right and is continuing to concentrate on her breathing. I get no indication from her physical responses that she’s having any pain at all.
“Now you’ll hear a loud noise coming from the machine,” I warn her as I activate the suction device. “I’m inserting a plastic suction tube now and you’ll feel a little pulling and tugging as I empty your uterus…. Everything is going just fine,” I assure her, warning her about a dental-procedure like sucking noise that will be caused by a piece of tissue briefly blocking the suction tube. When the piece clears the tissue continues to flow through the translucent suction tube an into a large glass container. I can tell now that the procedure is typical of abortions at this term of pregnancy.
“Now there will be a little more of the tugging and pulling,” I tell her, but Dawn doesn’t seem to notice it much. “Now your uterus is beginning to empty much more rapidly,” I report, “and you may feel more cramping. But that’s a very good sign. It means you’re not going to bleed very much and it means we’re almost finished. I’m going to stop just briefly to give your uterus a rest, so you’ll hear that really obnoxious sucking noise. I’m going to let you rest for about thirty seconds. Then I’m going to do one more check to see to it I’m not leaving any lining tissue inside that might cause you problems later on. This will take about one more minute and then we’ll be done. But you’ve pretty much felt as bad as you’re going to feel.”
A minute later, I assure her that her uterus is clamping down just as it should be. Seconds later I pull the suction tube away and announce, “We’re all done.”

“It is a major life occasion… Yes, it is a very safe medical procedure, but there are risks, just as there are to all medical procedures, and you could be one of those very few statistics.”

Share on FacebookOne abortionist, on why he commits abortions:
“I know that I can perform the procedures well technically with a low rate of complications. I think I do a reasonably good job. I also know that I am sharing women’s problems rather than hiding from the bits of life I don’t like.”

From one abortion clinic worker:
“I feel sad that it has to happen but it’s much sadder for a child to be brought up by carers who don’t really want it and can’t meet its needs. That’s more damaging for all concerned.”

From an abortion clinic worker:
Hell, even among abortion counselors who deal with the concrete evidence of this fact every day, who have good information and all kinds of contraceptive supplies at their fingertips, there are still no shortage of crossed-fingers pregnancy tests and hush-hush abortions. I’ve seen it happen. And I’ve only been working in this field a few months!

“How can you stand it? Even the clients ask. They see the machine, the strange instruments, the blood, and the final stroke that wipes away the promise of pregnancy. Sometimes I see that too. I watch a woman’s swollen abdomen sink to softness in a few stuttering moments and my own belly flip-flops with sorrow.”

Dr. Benjamin Graber, abortionist, was cited for failing to notify authorities that a 10-year-old girl on whom he performed an abortion may have been sexually abused. It could have prevented two years more years of sexual abuse for the child if he had reported the 10-year-old`s case.
Dr. Benjamin Graber said:
“It was not an obvious case of child abuse. She came in with her mother. It was legal. It was out front. There were no signs of abuse.“

Keep in mind, the girl was ten years old.

“We do abortions here; that is all we do. There are weary, grim moments when I think I cannot bear another basin of bloody remains, utter another kind phrase of reassurance. So I leave the procedure room in the back and reach for a new chart. Soon I am talking to an eighteen-year-old woman pregnant for the fourth time. I push up her sleeve to check her blood pressure and find row upon row of needle marks, neat and parallel and discolored. She has been so hungry for her drug for so long that she has taken to using the loose skin of her upper arms; her elbows are already a permanent ruin of bruises. She is surprised to find herself nearly four months pregnant. I suspect she is often surprised, in a mild way, by the blows she is dealt. I prepare myself for another basin, another brief and chafing loss.
