Abortionist/Psychiatrist admits that abortion causes “trauma” to women

Dr. Julius Fogel, who is a psychiatrist and has performed hundreds of abortions:

“Every woman – whatever her age, background, or sexuality – has a trauma at destroying a pregnancy. A level of humanness is touched. This is a part of her own life. She destroys a pregnancy, she is destroying herself. There is no way it can be innocuous. One is dealing with the life force. It is totally beside the point whether or not you think a life is there. You cannot deny that something is being created and that this creation is physically happening… Often the trauma may sink into the unconscious, and never surface in the woman’s lifetime. But it is not as harmless and casual an event as many in the pro-abortion crowd insist. A psychological price is paid. It may be alienation; it may be a pushing away from human warmth, perhaps a hardening of the maternal instinct. Something happens on the deeper levels of a woman’s consciousness when she destroys a pregnancy. I know this is a psychiatrist.””

Ann Saltenberger Every Woman Has a Right to Know the Dangers of Legal Abortion (Glassboro, New Jersey: Air Plus Enterprises, 1982)154

Clinic worker: abortionists she works with are “pathological”

Abortionist compares aborted baby to “a rose pressed in a Bible”

“The New England Journal of medicine featured an article that describes how to abort one twin without destroying the other. Using ultrasound, Dr. Thomas Kerenyi guided a needle through the mother’s abdomen and then punctured the heart of the twin who had been diagnosed as having Down Syndrome. He withdrew approximately 40-50 percent of the infant’s blood, and the baby died. Several months later,the mother gave birth to the survivor and discharged the remains of the dead infant. At a news conference shortly thereafter, Dr. Kerenyi described the corpse as “flat, fragile and paperlike…like a rose that had been pressed in a Bible for five years.” But that was not a rose pressed lovingly in a Bible. It was the remains of an infant.”

Young, Curt, The Least of These: What Everyone Should Know About Abortion, page 99, Moody Press, Chicago, 1984. Quoted in How Are Abortions Performed: Supporting References “Abortion: A Briefing Book for Canadian Legislators” National Public Affairs Office, updated July 2002

Abortion is like swimming, says Planned Parenthood director

A first-trimester abortion, said Irving S. Rust, director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in the South Bronx, is

“like swimming. It can be sort of boring and kind of monotonous, but unless you’re good at it, you can wind up with some major complications.”

Sandra G. Boodman “The Dearth of Abortion Doctors; Stigma, Low Pay and Lack of Personal Commitment Erode Ranks” The Washington Post April 20, 1993

Women were “shaken” and felt “loss” after abortions

From a writer whose father was an abortionist:

“Every day at the Erie Medical Center, women arrived pregnant, and, a few hours later, returned home having decided not to become mothers. As my father would come to appreciate, few did so without some internal conflict. Some cried afterward. Others were deeply shaken. Many years later, after spending a day in my father’s office on a day abortions were performed and coming home emotionally drained, I wondered whether this ever gave him pause. There were few smiles on the faces of the women I saw that day. There was, on the other hand, a palpable sense of loss and sadness. Did this ever make my father question whether perhaps the protestors had a point: that these women might be making a decision they would come to regret? …. When I worked up the nerve to ask him, he admitted that sometimes women did seem unsure afterward whether they’d made the right decision- and less then genial in their feelings toward the staff. On one occasion, he told me, a patient was so distraught after her abortion that she started screaming at him, “How can you do this?” He was unsettled. More often, though, he said what patients expressed was a sense of relief.”

Late-term abortionist says pro-life protesters are worse than vultures

“The vultures in the Amazon are much more moral and pleasing creatures than the vultures on my sidewalk…They’re here to inflict pain, fear and death.”

Late-term abortionist Warren Hern.

He also said:

“I love my work.”

Clinic worker is “resentful”

From a nurse who assisted doctors who performed 2nd trimester abortions

‘I used to be intellectually very positive about the subject of abortion, but the part of me that has to do it feels really resentful.'”

Second Trimester Abortion: Perspectives After a Decade of Experience (Berger, Brenner, Keith, eds, Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, 1981), in the chapter “Psychological Impact on Patients and Staff,” p. 245.

Those who work at abortion clinics have to see the aftermath of abortion (the aborted children) every day. They sometimes become resentful of their patients, especially those who take abortion lightly

Abortionist compares himself to heart surgeon

From the medical director of an abortion clinic:

“I’ve said many times that the amount of good that we do here in one day doing 10, 20 abortions is far greater than somebody working in a heart transplant unit doing one or two heart transplants on 64 year old men.”

Patricia Launneborg Abortion: a Positive Decision (New York: Bergin & Garvey, 1992) 26

One has to wonder if this doctor really believes that what he does is as selfless and beneficial as heart surgery, when he sees things like these aborted babies every day. A heart surgeon saves lives. An abortionist takes them.
