They said it.
“The fetus needs to be heavily sedated by sedating the mother before intrauterine manipulations such as transfusions… The changes in heart rate and increase in movement suggest that these stimuli are painful for the fetus.”

Of our pregnant clients who do not have an ultrasound, 29% decide to carry. With outcomes like these, I can’t imagine not having ultrasound at First Choice.”

Share on FacebookThe following is from an interview with Molly Yard, then president of the National Organization for Women:
Q: When a public opinion poll asks, “Is it a woman’s right to choose abortion?” Approximately 67% of Americans say yes. Yet, if the same group is asked, “Is abortion murder?” The same percentage says yes. Why is that?
A: I think it depends entirely on how you ask the question. When you put it in terms of individual rights, people come down on the side of the individual and against the government.
That’s what they’re really saying, that it’s a woman’s right and it’s not the business of the government interfere. They may think it’s murder, but they also don’t think the government should interfere in somebody’s life.

said working in abortion clinics has made him an outcast among physicians and denied him “a life with a house and a white picket fence and a wife and 3 children.” He lives alone, he says “thrown into a war zone,” and he “drinks beer at night to ease the pain.”

Share on Facebook“[I] feel abhorrence for the idea of deliberately bringing an unwanted pregnancy to term, delivering forth a helpless human being, and then just giving it away to others to care for. To never again take any responsibility whatsoever for a baby deliberately brought into this world seems to me utterly barbaric!
By contrast, abortion is absolutely moral and responsible. To stop the pregnancy and prevent the birth of a child who cannot be properly cared for shows wisdom – an understanding of the realities of life.”
Constance Robertson, “The Religious Case for Abortion” in David L Bender and Bruno Leone Abortion: Opposing Viewpoints (San Diego, CA: Greenhaven Press, 1991)
Is adoption barbaric? or is abortion (shown below, on a ten week old human) barbaric?
is this “moral” and “responsible?”
Share on FacebookFrom the owner of an abortion clinic:
“Often parents would beg us to convince their underage children to terminate pregnancies. There was nothing we could do if the youngster chose to continue their pregnancy. Some youngsters felt they could have the baby, give it to their parents to raise and continue to live a life of no responsibility.
I recall one mother shouting that we were legally obligated to perform the abortion on her daughter because she paid us, and signed a medical permission form. We told her it didn’t work that way. We gave her a refund, minus a very small fee for the doctor’s examination and lab work, because her daughter refused to terminate the pregnancy.”

I wonder how much the “very small fee” that wasn’t refunded actually was.

“I’ve always been pro-choice… If you did the one thing and said, yes, I’m going to go through with this abortion, are you going to feel guilt for the rest of your life? Because I have a lot of nagging thoughts that go on in my head, and this isn’t one of them. I have what I hope is a strong faith in God and I was happy to learn that He, at least in my mind – I really didn’t think that God was going to punish me. And I didn’t have any of those problems that a lot of people say is part of the problem, that this is killing and all that sort of thing. I really felt that God or whatever was as sorry as I was, but that was part of the forgiveness process was forgiveness for yourself. To say, I’m sorry I have to do this to myself, and I don’t have to ask anybody else for forgiveness… I felt that it was okay, I didn’t have any question about being an okay person for making that choice because it was important for my life.”

From a woman who had several abortions:
“I’m moving out to a one-bedroom condominium. I don’t have crumb–snatchers tearing up my house. I live where there’s adult living. I don’t have to live in the 69th Village, because I can’t afford anything else… My cousin, she just had [a baby]. She’s just a month younger than me. … But I mean, who gets up with this child? She does… I don’t know if I’m just materialistic or what… [but] she has to wait for the first and the 15th [to get a welfare check]. She stocks up on diapers. I don’t want to be like that. I don’t want to be like that.
It’s just a different type of lifestyle that I want to lead right now… I’m not ready for it now. Because I mean, there’s so many things that, so many opportunities and other choices you know, that are offered to me right now. I just don’t want to miss out on it. I just don’t want to miss anything.…
When you’re growing up you go through a lot of changes. It’s a part of growth. … You might have men problems, you just change. You might be young and you might be infatuated and you end up getting married, you have a child by him and you have another child … and you’re sick of him so you want to leave and then you go off with your boyfriend. I don’t want to bring my child through all that mess. Then, I know I wouldn’t be with the man forever, because I would grow out of him, and then, then I’ll have to drag my child through that…. These are the years when we go through our little flings, so don’t make any real commitments now.”

She was not using birth control consistently the three or four times she got pregnant and aborted.
Jo, on her abortion:
“If I have any guilt at all, it’s that I should have guilt [laughs]. There’s no bad in this. It’s fucking, and it’s fun. You get pregnant, you get pregnant, come on. God makes it so much fun to get pregnant because it is such a hard row to hoe, once you get a kid. I was married; I could’ve done it. I’m a good mother, I make great babies, and I planned another baby after Marie…”

Joyce let her 11 year old son decide for her whether or not to get an abortion.
“I’ve always been very honest with my son. I set him down one night, and I told him – this was just before his 12th birthday – and I said, “Michael, I’m pregnant, and I really don’t know what to do. Peter wants me to keep the child, and I really don’t think I want to, Michael.” And he said to me, “Mother, I wanted a brother or sister, but by the time the child is old enough to play with me, I will be too old to be able to give the child anything.” And then he said, “And how are you going to support it?” He’s never liked Peter, and even brought that up then, “Do you think Peter’s going to be around?” And I said, “No, he’s not going to be, Michael.” He said, “the best thing you can do, Mother, is have an abortion.”…
It was a tough decision, but one I’ve never regretted.”
But she later said:
“I felt terrible for weeks. A lot of depression. Something has just been torn from your body. You’re going through a lot of hormonal changes. And there’s a lot of depression. There’s a lot of guilt. Especially when you’ve got a man [Peter] who’s telling you: you murdered your child. You’re wondering if you’ve done the right thing.”

What kind of mother bases her decision on whether to abort on the answer of an 11-year-old child? How will this boy feel when he grows up and learns the truth about abortion, and that he had a role in killing his brother or sister?
