Magda Denes on abortion clinics and lies

Legs of baby at 12 weeks – legal to abort everywhere in the US

Magda Denes spent time in an abortion clinic interviewing patients and witnessing abortion procedures. She talks about the dishonesty that she saw among the women having abortions and the people performing them. She says that they lied about not knowing the baby was human. She claimed that all of them, deep down, knew that babies were being killed:

“Oh yes, these people lie, they kid themselves, testify falsely, confess in bad faith, shirk responsibility, only pretend to honor, bracket the past, and invent their lives. And who among us does differently? Especially in times of crisis. Especially in times of irreversible choice.… Reality is a matter of courtesy. A matter of agreement not to rock the tempest torn boat.”

Robert Blank on the visibility of the fetus on ultrasound

Robert H Blank explains why the pro-choice movement has a harder time convincing the public that abortion is okay:

Sonogram of 10-week-old unborn baby

“Until the recent decades the fetus in utero could not take on the social recognition of a human except conceptually… One of the most critical elements of recognition is visualization. Only in the last 10 years has it been possible to visualize the fetus in utero through sophisticated electronic equipment. As ultrasound technology has advanced to produce more explicit real-time images of the fetal limbs and movement, it is reasonable to expect the tendency to perceive the fetus as a small baby instead of an unseen organism residing in the womb.”

Dr. James MacMahon performed abortions in the 3rd trimester

“The July 5, 1993 edition of The American Medical News writes that he [Dr. James MacMahon] does abortions “through all 40 weeks of pregnancy.” In 1995, he informed the House Judiciary Committee in writing that he performed such abortions during the third trimester on babies who had no “flaw” at all for reasons such as the mother’s youth or for “psychiatric” problems. McMahon further admitted that one-fourth of the babies he aborted well into the seventh month had no flaws whatsoever. McMahon said that of the approximately 2000 partial birth abortions he performed, only 9% were performed for “maternal [health] indications” and then the most common reason was “depression.”
