The late Dr. Barnard Nathanson, abortionist turned pro-life activist, discussed how terms used to describe the unborn baby change based on whether they are a target for abortion or not. Obviously, no one throws “fetus” showers.
“We have moved into a gray world where we change our labels by intent. If the doctor wants to kill off [the unborn baby] (being sure to use the most deadly technique) then [the fetus] becomes an “abortus.” If he wants to preserve it, it is an “immature” or “premature.” In late abortions, if he wants it to die, the operation it is labeled a “hysterotomy”; if he wanted to live, it becomes a “cesarean section.”
Bernard N Nathanson, M.D. with Richard N Ostling. Aborting America (Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, 1979)276
A hysterotomy, by the way, is a little used abortion procedure where the mother’s womb is cut open and the baby is removed and allowed to die from prematurity (or sometimes killed by direct action)

Justice Blackmun’s former clerk Edward Lazarus, who is now a federal prosecutor:
“What, exactly, is the problem with Roe? The problem, I believe, is that it has little connection to the constitutional right purportedly interpreted… When Democratic Senators oppose a judicial appointment because of the nominees opposition to Roe, they not only endorsement make a litmus test out of one of the most intellectually suspect constitutional decisions of the modern era. They practically require that a judicial nominee sign onto logic that is, at best, questionable, and at worst, this disingenuous and results-oriented.”

The National Network of Abortion Funds gives a list of ways that women can come up with money if they can’t afford their abortions. They also advise lying to friends and family members in an attempt to get them to pay for the abortion.
Are there people who might not help me cover the cost of an abortion, but would help me cover other costs? Am I comfortable lying to a friend or family member, telling them that I had an unexpectedly high electric bill or gas bill due to heating or A/C costs?

Late term abortionist Warren Hern on why his patients have abortions:
“At times, medical considerations enter into the picture, but decisions are usually made on the basis of such factors as desire or lack of desire for parenthood, stability of relationships, educational status, emotional status, or economic status, among others.”
Warren Hern Abortion Practice (Philadelphia: J Lippincott, 1990) 39
Magda Denes, a pro-choice woman who spent time observing doctors and clinic workers in an abortion facility, spoke about a doctor who attempted to kill a woman’s baby with a saline injection, and when the injection failed, took a fetal heart monitor and amplified the baby’s heartbeat, forcing the woman to listen to the heartbeat of the baby they were about to kill. From the author:
“That’s it,” he cries triumphantly, “that’s it – the induction didn’t work. Sturdy fellow you have in there, eh?” He gives a loud guffaw, and his broad obscene wink darkens the room.”

Baby aborted by saline – a procedure (seldom used today) in which the woman’s uterus is injected with a caustic saline solution which poisons and burns the baby
“I have one kid here, seventeen, who’s just had her 3rd abortion… I want to beat the sh*t out of her. I want to put her through the damn wall. “What’s the matter with you?” I say to her. Every time she thinks a relationship is going on the rocks, she gets pregnant. Then she has an abortion and starts up a new relationship. She swears every time she has an abortion that she won’t screw again. I tell her screwing isn’t the problem, protection is.”

If abortion is a procedure that just “removes some cells” or “terminates a pregnancy” then why would it bother them that their patient has had so many? If there is nothing wrong with abortion, why shouldn’t a woman have 2, or 3, or 12? The reality is, clinic workers and abortionists see the bodies of aborted babies daily – they know that abortion is not something to take lightly.

Pro-choice? I’m Pro abortion. There are too many people on this planet. We need to start convincing more women to have abortions.… I hate children. I think there should be much less of them.

In fact, population is dropping throughout the world. In America particularly, we are facing a demographic crisis because not enough babies are being born to support the aging generations with their taxes. Many people feel that Social Security will be jeopardized when there are not enough taxpayers to pay into it.

Even if there really were too many people in the world, would killing people to eliminate them really be moral?
The pro-choice author of one book described observing an ultrasound training workshop:
“The workshop was for primary care clinicians who were beginning to offer medication abortion in their practices and were planning to use ultrasonography to date their patient’s pregnancies precisely. (Ultrasounds are not required as part of the medication abortion regimen, but are widely used for this purpose, and in abortion care more generally.) As is common in this kind of medical training situation, the host clinic had recruited two pregnant patients to serve as volunteers, so the trainees could practice using an ultrasound machine.…
The group was informed that the first room contained a woman who was planning to continue her pregnancy. In the second, one who was planning to terminate.…
When I entered the first room with a group of about six trainees and two trainers, I sensed the high energy level, and there was a lot of jovial banter between the clinicians and the volunteer, including thanks for her service. When the embryo (about five weeks gestation) was first located on the ultrasound, the trainer enthusiastically pointed this out to her. As different trainees took turns finding the tiny embryonic sac, others kept up a steady stream of small talk, asking how the pregnancy was going, how the patient was feeling, and so on. The group left with wishes for a successful pregnancy and birth.

The mood changed immediately when we entered the second room. People became far more subdued. The patient was graciously thanked for her volunteer service, but there was none of the buoyancy that I had just witnessed, with the first patient. When the embryo was initially located on the screen, the trainers quietly pointed it out to the trainees and did not call it to the woman’s attention. I noted that she did not look at the screen at all for the 45 minutes the group was in the room.”

This quote shows the strange kind of “schizophrenic” behavior of medical professionals as they switch gears between wanted and unwanted pregnancies.
“No other medical treatments involve so much potential guilt and regret as the decision to have a child/not have a child….It’s more than treatment for yourself for cancer – it’s a lifetime commitment to another human being or the loss of the opportunity for that commitment.”

Abortion clinic workers know that abortion is a traumatic choice to have to make. if abortion was simply the removal of a ball of cells, or a blob of tissue, instead of the killing of a baby like the one below, abortionists would not be so upset when women have repeat abortions.
i was doing math in my head driving home as usual. god, i make awful money for a job that actually sucks once you strip away all the pretentious “oh i HELP people” bullsh*t.”

I hope that this person quit and got some emotional healing
