“I prefer to look at the problem [of abortion] through the eyes of Darwin and evolution. Why not permit abortion in the first trimester, when the embryo is still a salt water creature …?”
George Crile, Jr., M.D., retired abortionist
“When Does Human Life Begin?” Guest editorial in the Medical Tribune, March 6, 1985.

A clinic worker commenting on a graph with states colored different shades based on how many abortions they had:
Hey look, a bunch of heat maps of abortion stats in the US! The above shows abortion rates in each state. Right off the bat, I can tell that states with the highest abortion rates are some of those where Medicaid covers the cost of the procedure. Yay, Medicaid!
A former clinic worker, Tonya P, who never identifies as pro-life in her book, describes how she got a job at the abortion clinic.
“I was beginning to give up hope, and I was starting to think that I had gone to school for nothing, for something that I couldn’t even get a job in, and I was still paying on a student loan. Anyway, I was so glad to hear that it wouldn’t be a problem, ‘cause I’ve been working in the warehouse for two long years and I was tired of working at that warehouse. It was hard work with no good pay…
Their main concern was how I did feel about abortion [sic] and I said that I was pro-choice, and that was all they wanted to hear, and that was the end of the interview.…
Finally, I could work in the field as a medical assistant.”
Tonya P From behind Closed Doors: “Abortions” (Xlibris, 2013) 10 – 11
It is interesting that the clinic didn’t seem to care about Tonya’s lack of medical experience, nor did they question her on her medical skills. All they wanted to hear was that she was pro-choice. That was enough to hire her. Because commitment to the cause, to doing abortions, was more important then anything else. Because it’s hard to find people to work in abortion clinics, mainly because they see things like this on a daily basis.
“The woman seeking an abortionreceives little in the way of support, smiles, compassion and even pain medication.
I guess this is why I provide abortions. In no other area of modern medicine will simple human kindness produce such dramatic results.”
Morris Wortman “I Won’t Let Fear Stop Me” Newsweek 12/14/1998, Vol. 132 Issue 24, p22. 1p.
Although this abortionist is talking about the women, there are also babies involved in abortion. Here is the result of some “simple human kindness” at 8 weeks
“I believe in God and I am doing his will….The fetus is not human until birth.”
Late-term abortionist Dr. Leroy Carhart, who was caught on tape calling a third trimester unborn baby “meat in a crockpot” after he would kill the child
In a conversation with pro-life activist Monica Miller
Late-term abortionist Dr. Warren Hern, who sometimes performs abortions in the thirdtrimester, talks about a patient who cried after her abortion because she was so happy:
“She cried after the operation for sadness and relief. Her tears and the immensity of the moment brought my tears. I had helped her change her life. I was relieved that this young woman was safe to go on with her dreams. I thought I had found a new definition of the idea of medicine as an act of compassion and love for one’s fellow human beings.“
Stephen Singular The Wichita Divide: the Murder of Dr. George Tiller and the Battle over Abortion (New York: St. Martin’s press, 2011) 31
Yes, late-term abortion is such an act of compassion and love. You are some pictures of that “compassion and love” at 20 to 24 weeks
“The desire to control one’s destiny is fundamental. The physician’s role is to help our patients have healthier and more productive futures….Simply advocating for abortion services for my patients often left me helpless. Now, the ability to provide this critical health service has been empowering to my patients and to myself as a physician.”
“I perform abortions because of my religious belief. I would feel I wasn’t living up to my Christian responsibility if I saw the need to not offer an answer to that need. We have a saying among Presbyterians that God alone is Lord of the conscience.”
Abortionist James Armstrong, in the 1990’s film Whose Choice?

The following interview is excerpted from a film produced by The Alan Guttmacher Institute, which was then affiliated with Planned Parenthood. It is an interview with Canadian late-term abortionist Dr. Henry Morgentaler. There are pictures of abortions similar to the ones done by Morgentaler in his long career. The pictures are there to show the irony of the abortionists words.
Interviewer: You have been talking very logically and very calmly, but are there times when you lose your temper at this situation?
Morgentaler: Yeah, there are times when I lose my temper when, uh, I get really, um, indignant about the kind of contempt for human life that the other side shows. The kind of intolerance and dogmatism. Where, they want to impose their kind of so-called morality on everybody. And I think this is one issue where I feel very strongly about it, on our side we have all the light, on the other side they have all the darkness. On our side you have respect for individual rights. You have the concern for the safety, the health and life of people. You have respect for freedom of religion and conscience. Whereas on the other side you have a dogmatic kind of beliefs which does not take into account either the health or the safety of people involved, [the pro-life side] has a contempt for the health and life of women needing abortions. Has a complete disregard for the opinions of others…..

We live in a pluralist society. Let everyone decide on this issue as a matter of his conscience, his religious beliefs. Of his or her philosophy of life. And I get very upset when people show this kind of fanaticism, this kind of intolerance, and this kind of insulting contempt for others, of the rights of others.
Interviewer: Now, there are a group in Canada called the right to lifers. Have they, uh, been in contact with you in any way?
20 weeks
Morgentaler: yes, they’ve tried to make my life as miserable as possible. By the way we don’t call the pro-lifers, we call them CCPs, and that stands for Crusaders for Compulsive Pregnancy. Or we call them fetus fetishists because that’s a very good description of what they’re standing for. We are actuallythe people who are pro-life, we are for the right of women and couples to determine what their life is going to be like. Whether they’re going to have children or not, how many children they’re gonna have. Whether they should use birth control methods or not. Now, the so-called CCP’s have done everything they could, they have, uh, written circular letters denouncing me, vilifying me, they of organized demonstrations outside my clinic, which lasted for about two weeks, with, uh, gory signs –
Interviewer: What sort of signs?
Morgentaler: Signs saying here Morgentaler is murdering babies, and every abortion kills a child, things like that, which were very distasteful to me and to my staff, and which were very stressful to my patients. For most patients who come in for an abortion are scared, they are anxious, and on top of that they were met by a hostile group, with signs, telling them as a group that what they were doing was a crime, murder, and so on. So it was a really bad scene at the time.
