Pres. of Planned Parenthood calls National Right to Life member a sociopath

Gloria Feldt, then Pres. of Planned Parenthood, described how she was asked to go on television after the murder of Dr. Barnett Slepian by an antiabortionist assassin.

“After Slepian’s murder, I was asked to appear on a network TV show to discuss the killing and its implications. I was told it would not be a debate. And how could it possibly be a debate? Is there “other side” to the issue of cold-blooded murder?

But by air time, the host had found a representative from the National Right to Life committee to oppose me. “To be fair,” she explained… Fairness, my eye. Would you have gay bashers on to “debate” the murder of Matthew Shepard? Give Al Qaeda operatives airtime to present their views in defense of the bombing of the World Trade Center? Sociopaths don’t deserve this kind of attention.”

Gloria Feldt the War on Choice: The Right-Wing Attack on Women’s Rights and How to Fight Back (New York: Bantam Dell, 2004) 184

Every single known pro-life group condemned the murder of Doctor Slepian by a lone abortion fanatic. National Right to Life is completely unaffiliated with any type of violence and had nothing to do with the murder. Feldt’s comparison of a National Right to Life representative to “gay bashers” and “sociopaths” is the worst kind of rhetoric demonizing pro-lifers.

Especially considering that babies like the one below represent the cause of the pro-choice movement. Planned Parenthood performed hundreds such abortions on the day of the debate.

Abortionist sees heartbeat of baby on ultrasound screen

“And typically when the abortion procedure is started we typically know that the fetus is still alive because either we can feel it move as we’re making our initial grasps or if we’re using some ultrasound visualization when we actually see a heartbeat as we’re starting the procedure.”

This account of D&E abortion procedure is part of sworn testimony given in US District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin (Madison, WI, May 27, 1999, Case No. 98-C-0305-S), by Dr. Martin Haskell, an abortionist

16 weeks. A baby of this age would be killed, mostl likely, by a D&E abortion.

“I would not have had an abortion if I’d seen a sonogram”

A bill in Texas that would require clinics to give women a chance to see their ultrasound was passed in 2011. Some postabortion women support the bill. For example, Nona Ellington of Texas says:

“I would not have had an abortion if I had seen a sonogram and heard the baby’s heartbeat,”

From the writer of the article:

“Ellington has also said in public testimony that her abortion led her to depression and suicide attempts, and that because of the damage done to her body by the abortion, she was never able to conceive.”

Woman has multiple abortions so that she can perform

One woman had several abortions because she was an actress and didn’t want to be pregnant and have to take a leave of absence from the shows she was performing in. She says:

“It’s always been unfortunate that every time I’ve been pregnant I’ve always been involved in a show, and that always takes priority… [Before I had the 2^nd abortion] I went to see a show which I liked, it was very physical and I thought, “I’d like to do something like that, maybe I’ll do a street show.” And then I thought, “oh no! You’ll be 8 months pregnant by then, and it went pow! In my head. It was that night I made the decision.”

Mary Pipes Understanding Abortion (London: The Women’s Press, 1998) 49 – 50

Most abortions are performed between 7 and 12 weeks. Here is a picture of part of the baby aborted at 7 weeks. This is what her decisions have destroyed.

Seeing the sonogram: what does a woman lose?

Pro-lifer Kristen Walker, defending laws that allow women to view the sonogram before they have their abortions:

“Let’s say a woman sees a sonogram, hears a heartbeat, and says, “Oh wow, I didn’t realize this was really a baby I was going to destroy. I don’t want to have an abortion now.”

Who loses in that case? The woman goes away happy because she is going to keep her baby. The baby, needless to say, is certainly better off. Who loses, and what does he or she lose?

The abortion doctor and the clinic lose. And what do they lose? Money. Nothing else.

They have not been harmed in any way, except they will not be performing that abortion. The woman, on the other hand, has gained a child she would not have had. The child has gained a life he would have lost.”

Clinic director complains about lack of pro-choice commitment in young people

Florida clinic director Michelle Fortier laments the fact that many young people are pro-life or are otherwise not committed to the pro-choice cause:

“The problem that I have is with people who are younger than me, the things that would come out of their mouths were completely ridiculous… I think a lot of people who are younger than me tend to be more conservative, which is really bizarre.”

Pregnant abortionist feels her baby kick just as she tears a leg off baby she is aborting

Abortionist Lisa Harris speaks about performing an abortion while she was pregnant, and feeling her own baby Just as she was pulling the leg off of the baby she was aborting.Sadly, this did not make her stop doing abortions.

When I was a little over 18 weeks pregnant with my now pre-school child, I did a second trimester abortion for a patient who was also a little over 18 weeks pregnant. As I reviewed her chart I realized that I was more interested than usual in seeing the fetal parts when I was done, since they would so closely resemble those of my own fetus. I went about doing the procedure as usual, removed the laminaria I had placed earlier and confirmed I had adequate dilation. I used electrical suction to remove the amniotic fluid, picked up my forceps and began to remove the fetus in parts, as I always did. I felt lucky that this one was already in the breech position – it would make grasping small parts (legs and arms) a little easier. With my first pass of the forceps, I grasped an extremity and began to pull it down. I could see a small foot hanging from the teeth of my forceps. With a quick tug, I separated the leg. Precisely at that moment, I felt a kick – a fluttery “thump, thump” in my own uterus. It was one of the first times I felt fetal movement. There was a leg and foot in my forceps, and a “thump, thump” in my abdomen. Instantly, tears were streaming from my eyes – without me – meaning my conscious brain – even being aware of what was going on. I felt as if my response had come entirely from my body, bypassing my usual cognitive processing completely. A message seemed to travel from my hand and my uterus to my tear ducts. It was an overwhelming feeling – a brutally visceral response – heartfelt and unmediated by my training or my feminist pro-choice politics. It was one of the more raw moments in my life. Doing second trimester abortions did not get easier after my pregnancy; in fact, dealing with little infant parts of my born baby only made dealing with dismembered fetal parts sadder.

Couples often disagree about having in abortion, says clinic worker

A pro-choice author describes how couples often disagree about what to do with an unplanned pregnancy:

“Leslie Rotenberg, the director of social services in the Margaret Sanger clinic of Planned Parenthood of New York City, reported that, when a couple comes in together, in half the cases the woman wants a child and the man doesn’t and in the other half it is the opposite. When it is the woman who wants to have the child, the most common response from the man is: “it isn’t fair. I should have a say if I’m going to be a father.” Rotenberg explained as tactfully as possible that he had a choice before he had sex.”

Alexander Sanger Beyond Choice: Reproductive Freedom in the 21^st Century (New York: Public Affairs, 2004) 154 – 155

Alexander Sanger is the grandson of Margaret Sanger, the birth control crusader who was also a eugenicist and racist.

Sometimes when a man wants the pregnancy and a woman doesn’t, he tries to force her into having an abortion. In some cases, he turns violent. Women who refuse to have an abortion have been murdered.

On the other hand, many men have suffered feelings of loss and grief after their partners had an abortion either against their will or without their knowledge.

Abortionist has women deliver their babies into toilets

“Most countries squat to give birth.”

Cheryl Sullenger “Babies Born Alive in Toilets at Abortion Center, Left to Die” LifeNews 7/27/11

The excuse James Scott Pendergraft IV gave in court, defending his practice of having abortion patients deliver their dead or dying babies into the toilet at his abortion facility. The court case was about a baby that survived the abortion. It came out in the trial that other babies had also survived the initial abortion procedure and been born alive but died at the clinic.

The jury found that Pendergraft was liable for the child’s medical care. Pendergraft has been in legal trouble numerous times, and has had his license suspended at least 4 times. He is still performing abortions.
