Planned Parenthood compares unborn babies to mold on bread

7weeks-image-2-200x200 — 7 weeks – most abortions are done at this time or later

From a booklet handed out by Planned Parenthood:

“Is the fetus alive? Is it alive? Algae is alive, and earthworms, and your appendix. Mold on the bread in the refrigerator is alive. People are not agreed on what a life is … If you look at pictures of human, chicken, pig, and turtle embryos at the same stage of development, it is difficult to tell them apart.”

West Virginia hospital sees many patients with abortion complications, says Doctor who supports admitting privileges for abortionists

“We commonly (I personally probably at least weekly) see patients at Women’s and Children’s Hospital in our emergency room or ultrasound center with complications from abortions at the centers in Charleston: so much for “safe and legal.” These patients are told to come to our hospital because the abortion clinic providers do not have hospital privileges to care for their patients, so we must treat them as emergency “drop ins.… No other medical providers are allowed to care for patients, have no backup coverage, and then abandon them to the emergency room. We would be held ethically and legally liable.”

Dr. Bryan Calhoun, vice chairman of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at West Virginia University. The statement was made in the letter he wrote on June 30 first, 2013, to West Virginia Atty. Gen. Patrick Morrisey, who was considering new clinic regulations.

Woman changes her mind about aborting baby after seeing ultrasound in abortion clinic

unbornbaby10weeksultrasound — Ultrasound of baby at 10 weeks, a little younger than the baby in this quote

A pro-life website received the following testimony:

“I have one child (2 years old). He is my heart and soul. I contemplated having an abortion with him. I went all the way to the clinic and proceeded with the preparations. However, I when I [sic] was given the sonogram, I asked to see my child living and breathing through me. I was 11 weeks pregnant. I saw my son on the screen kicking and moving his arms! I could not believe it. At that point, I asked for my money back (I could only get a portion), and I left that clinic and did not look back.”

While Planned Parenthood has been promoting a study which purports to show that seeing an ultrasound image does not influence women’s decisions of whether or not to abort (conducted based on the records from one abortion clinic by researchers who likely never actually set foot in that clinic to observe what was going on), one has to wonder why, if ultrasound viewing really has no impact on a woman’s decision, pro-choice groups oppose these laws so strenuously and spent tens of thousands of dollars fighting them in court.

Pro-choicer: Ultrasound pictures represent ‘unhealthy preoccupation”

In a PBS discussion, one pro-choice panelist said that ultrasound pictures represented:

“an unhealthy preoccupation with the baby.”

Oregon Public Broadcasting, “To the Contrary,” former Clinton administration staffer Maria Echaveste, et al., January 4, 2004 Quoted in

Randy Alcorn Why Pro-Life? Caring for the Unborn and Their Mothers (Hendrickson Publishers, 2011)

Pro-lifers have a “preoccupation with the baby” because the baby is the one being killed in an abortion.

Clinic worker on the “underlying” population “for which we have no use”

From a volunteer at an abortion clinic:

“I always felt that Malthus was right. The population bomb was going to explode, that we are developing an underlying population for which we have no use, a part of society that doesn’t fit in.”

Faye D Ginsburg Contested Lives: the Abortion Debate in an American Community (Berkeley and Los Angeles California: University of California Press, 1989) 68

Thomas Malthus was an 18th century British essayist who believed that overpopulation was a danger to society and that people, especially those of “lower” classes, should have fewer children.

What people comprise the “underlying population” that there is “no use” for?” It is an elitist and possibly racist way of thinking.

Did her concern about curbing the population (particularly by eliminating certain people) influence the way she dealt with people coming in for abortions?

Abortionist: we would “attack” the “lower extremity,” i.e., leg

unbornbaby14w — 14-week-old baby, who could be aborted by this method

A late-term abortionist describes what he does:

“We would attack the lower part of the lower extremity first, remove, you know, possibly a foot, then the lower leg at the knee and then finally we get to the hip.”

Pro-choice activist: “I know life begins at conception”

“Here is a startling revelation: I am a mother of two and a woman who earlier in her life had an abortion. I am unapologetically pro-choice. And I know life *begins* at conception …. because I kinda already knew that having a child required, as a first step, the successful integration of a sperm and an egg, or fertilization.

In other words, “life” begins at conception, if by “life,” we mean the essential starting place of a potential human being. Neither my 16-year-old daughter nor my 13-year-old son would be here if they were not first conceived, if the fertilized eggs had not gone through the process of cell division, successfully implanted in my uterus and developed into healthy embryos, and subsequently gone successfully through the many other phases of development leading to their births.

[commenting on a quote from Congressman Paul Ryan, where he said that seeing his unborn baby on the ultrasound screen, convinced him that life began at conception]

“I understand that seeing the sonogram of a wanted child is a powerful thing and a connection to the potential person whose birth is much awaited. But if it took Paul Ryan to see a sonogram of his daughter in utero to get him to believe his wife was pregnant and that his daughter’s “life” began with conception, the state of GOP knowledge on sex and biology is even worse than I thought.”

Jodi Jacobson “Life Begins At Conception. That’s Not the Point” RH Reality Check November 4, 2012

She does not explain how “life begins at conception,” but an unborn baby is only a “potential child” it is typical pro-choice doublespeak.

Abortion clinic worker calls abortion “sin”

Magda Denes wrote a book after spending time in an abortion clinic interviewing doctors and clinic workers. From one clinic worker:

“When we do D&C’s, it’s under general anesthesia, so the patient comes in and the doctor does the dirty work. And when she wakes up, and it’s his sin, and she is cured. But with a saline she’s participating in this sin, because she’s awake, she knows what’s going on, she feels it coming out.”

Magda Denes, PhD. In Necessity and Sorrow: Life and Death in an Abortion Hospital (New York: Basic Books inc 1976) 140

Here she writes about how when one goes in for an abortion, she is unconscious and does not see the baby being taken from her, piece by piece, but in a saline abortion (which was done by inducing labor after injecting poisonous saline solution to kill the baby). The woman would see the child and it would be more emotionally difficult for her. It is always easier to kill without seeing the victims – it is psychologically easier to drop a bomb on the city or program a drone then it is to kill people face-to-face.

new-baby_20choice_201 — Victim of a saline abortion. These abortions are seldom done today because they caused so many live births, and because they were dangerous to the mother.
