We tell the parents we take the fetus apart, says abortionist

Dr. Cassing Hammond, abortionist, on what he tells women  who come in for a second trimester D&E abortion:

“But does that mean that we don’t share with them, that this involves dismemberment or separation of parts of the fetus or taking the fetus apart? We do. And we use that term. We say we take the fetus apart. We say, it is coming out in pieces and we make sure that that’s clear with the patients. And they understand it.”

I’m at peace with my abortion, though I know I killed a baby

“I cannot tell you how beautifully you explain my feelings on this matter. I had an abortion in March, at the age of 32. I’m perfectly at peace with what I did, that it wasn’t the right time for us BUT I am also aware that it was a baby. It was completely a matter of competing needs- and the ones of my life, and my relationship, won out.”

Pro-choice doctor explains why she doesn’t do abortions

Pro-choice author Lori Freedman quotes Dr. Vivian Costa who, despite being pro-choice, decided not to do abortions in her practice. She explains why:

“It is an end of life, and while I feel the patient should have an option, I didn’t feel comfortable being a provider.”

Abortion doctor responsible for hundreds of thousands of abortions

Feet of unborn baby at seven weeks
Feet of unborn baby at seven weeks

From the partial birth abortion ban trials, an abortionist is asked how many abortions he has done.

Q. How many abortions of first and second trimester have you done during the course of your career, if you can just estimate that?

A. I’m sure you’re talking about hundred thousands.

Dr. William Fitzhugh, abortionist, in sworn testimony in Carhart vs. Ashcroft, Lincoln, NE, March 30, 2004

It is unthinkable to imagine one person responsible for so many deaths.  And heartbreaking to realize if he ever regrets his “life’s work” and turns away from abortion, how much guilt he would feel.  if he is ever capable of it.

Pro-lifers pull aborted babies from dumpster

From Carole Novielli, Saynsmthn’s blog

We knew the abortion clinics could be throwing the aborted babies in the trash. So, how would we know which clinics were disposing the babies illegally? There was no way to know- we’d have to go to various ones and pull the trash to see.

That was a daunting task. But finally, our work paid off.

It was a Saturday afternoon when we approached a clinic located in a strip mall. The abortionist shared the dumpster with other business owners and we received permission to remove some discarded wood from the trash. Our real goal though, was the clinic’s trash- BINGO!

We grabbed several bags over a period of time, until, one day, we discovered that inside the bags were the containers that held babies aborted by suction abortion.

Then came the task of opening up each and every gauze sac. I stilled myself to open each one , knowing what I might see – not knowing how I’d react to it.

first hand 2Several did indeed look like ground meat.

To see their fragile little bodies so ground up that no distinguishable pieces remained was not entirely a surprise – after all – these were early abortions and babies that had been violently sucked out through a tube and into these jars.

[webmaster note; At six weeks and before the baby’s body is so small and delicate that it is ripped completely apart in an abortion, leaving no recognizable remains. The baby at this stage looks like this:

Yet when hit with the powerful suction machine, it is torn apart and nothing recognizable is left.]

Then…after carefully slicing one gauze sac, there it was. The fully formed arm of an aborted child.

As we rummaged through the bags we could see the medical records of the women whose children lay torn in pieces.

The cold-hearted abortionist had discarded the bodies of these dead babies in the trash along with their mother’s medical records with no care or concern for either.

At the bottom of the bag, we found a large foot which a pathologist later confirmed was from an unborn baby approximately 5 months gestation. The remaining body parts of that child were not in the bags we had.

As we meticulously went through the bags from that abortion clinic, I found myself feeling detached- I was looking squarely at the tiny remains of babies who suffered a horrific death and yet I had little emotion. After all, I had to finish the job I set out to do, I had to continue looking through the bags and opening each and every sac. Was I heartless? Uncaring? Unfeeling? Or was I being scientific and doing a job that had to be done?

I wrestled with this for a few days. And then….

The day arrived for the funeral for these little babies. We told no one who found them. In reality, those who attended did not care about the details – they cared only about giving these precious unborn children a decent burial. They wanted them remembered – their lives must count !

I attended the funeral like a pro, covering it for a pro-life magazine I wrote for at the time. As a journalist, I stood on stage watching people tearfully come forward and lay a rose – the symbol of life- on the small casket we purchased to place the tiny pieces of their broken bodies in.

first hand 11

One moment I was snapping pictures and the next….the next moment I was sobbing uncontrollably in the arms of an usher who was standing beside me on the stage. He must have seen a look in my eyes because his large torso was a comfort as I completely lost it and wept like a mother who just received the news that her beloved child was dead.

The tears and groans continued for a while and took me by surprise. After all, I was a professional, I was detached, I was looking at this from a journalists point of view – I was HUMAN!

As I write this today, I feel a lump in my throat as the memory of what I saw wells up inside me. I often think about the idea that abortion does not affect those who participate in it – the mothers, doctors, nurses, and clinic staff and I have to conclude that it absolutely does affect them.

As a young girl, I used to watch documentaries about the Nazi Holocaust and the Jews they slaughtered mercilessly.

Most people watched those films with great interest in the stories and facts they document.

But, for me, when I watched them, I recalled asking in the midst of my outrage, “ Who took those pictures?”

I remember thinking that had those pictures never been taken, society would not be sitting here today in absolute horror of what took place.

I knew at that moment that I wanted to document the abortion holocaust, and by the guidance of God, in some small way, I have.

“I was 9 weeks when I went. I was thinking to myself it’s like it’s a little miniature person there already, you know, and what does it look like, and can it feel, you know I started thinking more about the baby.”

Leadership of Planned Parenthood and NOW are “privileged” and “white”

“Feminism” is now unfairly associated with a certain kind of privileged, coastal, irreligious white woman….the leadership of Planned Parenthood, NOW, and the other major mainstream organizations does tilt in that demographic direction.”

Planned Parenthood on how a baby is made

Planned Parenthood released a pamphlet on contraception in 1973 that said:

“One sperm plus one egg = one baby.”

Planned Parenthood/World Population pamphlet entitled”ABCs of Birth Control,” 1973, page 4.

Interesting that they would acknowledge this. I don’t think you would find such a candid admission from PP nowadays.

Planned Parenthood’s “40 Days of Prayer” mocks “40 Days for Life”

Planned Parenthood did its own takeoff of  the pro-life “40 days for life” with “40 days of Prayer Supporting Women Everywhere” that was prayer for abortion. Here is one of the prayers they recommended:

The "sacred" work of one abortion clinic, this baby was aborted at 10 weeks
The “sacred” work of one abortion clinic, this baby was aborted at 10 weeks

“We give thanks for the doctors who provide quality abortion care.”

· We pray for a cloud of gentleness to surround every abortion facility.”

· We pray for all the staff at abortion clinics around the nation. May they be daily confirmed in the sacred care that they offer women.”

Others:

– We give thanks and celebrate that abortion is still safe and legal.”

– We give thanks for abortion escorts who guide women safely through the hostile gauntlets of protesters.”

– We pray for women who have been made afraid of their own power [of choice, i.e. abortion] by their religion. May they learn to reject fear and live bravely.”

Faith Aloud is the group that wrote the prayers. Infamous late term abortionist Dr. Leroy Carhart is a member of the board.

Clinic worker: I “wasn’t proud” about working there

One clinic worker, who later left her job, said:

“When you say abortion, people think about killing babies and why such a decision. So this isn’t the kind of job to go around broadcasting about cause you can get all kinds of comments, looks, and questions

So I don’t like to comment on it, so I don’t talk about where I work, because to be truthful about it, I wasn’t proud about it.”
