They said it.
A woman who works in an abortion clinic says the following in a blog for abortion workers:
“If I could talk to the president about anything, I’d talk to him about abortion. Basically sacred, an instrument all its own. Let it be. We who wish the best for the women having them, who never ever fall short of empathy—let us dwell in it. Let us usher the women having them. Let us make it beautiful and right.”

“The woman’s lying there, half naked, in a vulnerable position; the doctor is attacking her vagina; you are sitting there, holding her hand – in a weird way you feel like you’re involved in a sexual encounter.”

“Providers also reflected on differences between language used inside the clinic and accepted pro-choice rhetoric. Some noted that during clinical encounters, they attempt to “meet their patients where they are” by using the words the patients use, such as baby instead of the more clinical term fetus.”

Share on FacebookWillie Parker, who commits abortions up to 24 weeks, claims that the biblical story of the Good Samaritan convinced him to do abortions.
“In listening to a sermon by Dr. Martin Luther King, I came to a deeper understanding of my spirituality, which places a higher value on compassion. King said what made the good Samaritan ‘good’ is that instead of focusing on [what] would happen to him by stopping to help the traveler, he was more concerned about what would happen to the traveler if he didn’t stop to help. I became more concerned about what would happen to these women if I, as an obstetrician, did not help them.”

In reality, abortion does not help women. It leaves them with physical trauma and psychological scars.
Share on FacebookAn abortionist says of herself:
“I’m something of an abortion “specialist” …I perform literally hundreds of abortions a year.”
In her article, she also says:
You would never pick out an abortionist in the crowd. We would probably be the last people you would figure. We are the kindest, most compassionate people you would wish to meet.

Abortion clinic counselor Joss Shawyer compared:
“the traumatic results of adoptions with the comparatively simple remedy of early, safe abortion. In my view, there is no contest… Adoption is a violent act, a political act of aggression toward a woman who has supposedly offended the sexual mores by committing the unforgivable act of not suppressing her sexuality.”
Marvin Olasky “The War on Adoption” National Review June 7, 1993
Below: Abortion at 10 weeks. Is it really adoption that is violent?
In an interview, an abortion clinic worker from Paris who counsels women before their abortions, explains that she never looks at the aborted babies. She says:
“As for me, I never wanted to see it. I prefer not to look, otherwise it’s not going to help me listen to the women.”

“There’s a Native American nurse at an abortion clinic in San Francisco who put it this way. She said, “If you have twins and it’s a bad year, you have to put one in the badger hole.”

Share on FacebookRabbi Daniel Levy tells the following anecdote:
“A gynecologist told me that he was once called to assist at a center for the termination of pregnancies in the North of England. The woman had just had a termination and was bleeding to death. The gynecologist turned up with his colleagues in the ambulance and as they led the lady away on the stretcher the director of the organization said reassuringly to the doctors:
“You know, over the last 30 years we have performed 120,000 abortions in this clinic and never once lost a life.”
