Student compares abortion to jaws of life

Medical student, doing rotation in abortion clinic:

“Saying there should be less abortion is like saying there should be less use of the jaws of life. It misplaces the wrong. There should be less car accidents. There should be less unwanted pregnancy. But there’s nothing wrong with the jaws of life. And there’s nothing wrong with abortion. It isn’t a ‘tragedy’, as we hear so often, even among pro-choicers.”

Legal abortion clinics no better than back-alley ones, says doctor

From an article in The Journal of the American Medical Association:

The so-called ‘freestanding clinics,’ which do over 90% of all abortions in the U.S., are often little better than back-alley operations that have been legalized . . . .’ Complications following abortions performed in free-standing clinics is one of the most frequent gynecological emergencies . . . encountered. Even life-endangering complications rarely come to the attention of the physician who performed the abortion unless the incident entails litigation. The statistics presented by Cates represent substantial under reporting and disregard women’s reluctance to return to a clinic, where, in their mind, they received inadequate treatment.'”

99% chance of Down Syndrome- but born healthy

A young woman named Brianna says:

“When my mother was pregnant with me, the doctors did tests and believed I had a 99% chance of being born with Downs Syndrome. The doctor told my mother that a child with DS would be too big of a burden and that she should just abort me.

My mother and father prayed about it and decided they would love me no matter what and continued with the birth. I am 18 now and have not ever had any traces of Downs Syndrome. 99% my butt!”

Former abortionist on abortion complications

Dr. Beverly McMillan, a former abortionist from Jackson, Mississippi:

‘Planned Parenthood clinics, and free-standing abortion clinics like them, claim they have an untarnished record of no complications from their abortion procedures, but what they don’t know is that I’m the practitioner who sees their complications. These women don’t go back to the clinic where they’ve had a bad experience. They show up in my office or in my emergency room with their bleeding or with their infections or with their retained placenta, needing another D&C.’

“A Close Look at Planned Parenthood,” (Focus on the Family) radio program, 27-27 October 1989, quoted in Douglas R. Scott, Inside Planned Parenthood (Grand Rapid, MI: Frontlines Publishing, 1990) 86.

Abortion pictures on cell phone save a baby

A woman at the Priests For Life website told this story:

“Our son has on his cell phone, pictures of aborted babies. Around a week or two ago he shared with us something that happened at his place of employment. He was around some girls more or less his age and they were talking about the woman’s right to choose. One was a very strong believer in the woman’s right to choose. He got into a little debate. Margaret Sanger’s name came in. Finally his cell phone was popped open with the pictures of the aborted babies, thanks to God, and he was used to share what pro-choice and abortion really is. One of the girls there was shocked, and she asked for the pictures to be sent to her cell phone. …. Anyway, another day at his job, the shocked girl told my son that she was pregnant and is keeping her baby. Thank and really thanks to God!”

Woman leaves clinic after her eighth abortion

The Illinois Review had the following story about a conversation between a pro-life sidewalk counselor and the sister of a woman going in for an abortion:

“A prolife counselor greeted each person coming up to the clinic, and told them about a free ultrasound and other resources for their child. His gentleness sometimes elicited a response, and one woman, after checking her sister into the clinic, came back to talk.

She wanted to know if we had any advice on sterilization. She said she knew her sister would never talk to us, but she needed help: this was her eighth abortion. A tall, spare woman, she nervously crossed and recrossed the street several times, always clutching her purse to her arm. Finally she asked us if we knew where she could get a drink. When the procedure was finally done, she pulled her car into the clinic’s narrow lot and helped wheel her sister down toward the car. When the wheelchair was as close as possible, she helped her sister stand and move into the front seat. The woman was visibly in pain; she walked deliberately, seemed drugged or extremely tired, and slumped into the front seat.”
