A conversation with a pro-choice mother

A pro-life speaker recounts the following story:

legs of an unborn baby at 11 weeks

“Another time I was at the University of Cincinnati when an angry woman came up to me after my debate insisting that I use the word “fetus” instead of “child.” “It’s not a baby – it’s a fetus!” She shouted! I assured her that the two words were synonymous, but she would have nothing of it. “Quit calling it a baby!” she demanded. Right then, in the middle of our little “discussion,” her young child, pointing to the fetal models on display, declared, “Mommy! Look at the babies!” The child was yanked by the arm and as they briskly walked away, I could hear the child’s mother say, “We don’t believe that.”

The pro-abortion movement has a pretty tough job when you think about it. They have to overcome an obvious truth that even their own children can recognize. They can use dehumanizing terms like “fetus,” or “products of conception,” and pretend all they want, but it still doesn’t change the truth.”

Monica Miller finds the remains of a five month baby in the garbage

20 weeks

In Abandoned: the Untold Story of the Abortion Wars (Charlotte, North Carolina: St. Benedict Press, 2012) Monica Migliorino Miller describes babies she discovered in the trash outside an abortion clinic:

“One of the babies from the 30 South Michigan dumpster, a five-month-old child killed by the dilation and evacuation method…the one whose right eye and lower jaw was missing..

“About the child’s head, pooled in dark blood, were his torn arms, legs, a hand, a foot, and part of his rib cage…”

Abortionist comments on the pain abortion causes women

Psychiatrist and abortionist Julius Fogel, who had performed over 20,000 abortions, said the following about abortion’s impact on women:

“I’ve had patients who had abortions a year or two ago, women who did the best thing at the time for themselves but it still bothers them. Many come in some are just mute, some hostile. Some burst out crying … There is no question in my mind that we are disturbing a life process. The trauma may sink into the unconscious and never surface in the woman’s lifetime … but a psychological price is paid. It may be alienation, it may be a pushing away from human warmth, perhaps a hardening of the maternal instinct. Something happens on the deeper levels of a woman’s consciousness when she destroys a pregnancy. I know that as a psychiatrist.”

Dr. Julius Fogel, quoted in Kathleen Kelly. “PAS, Professionals, and “Sorrow’s Reward.”” The Wanderer, April 13, 1989, page 2.

Ultrasound technician Shari Richard speaks out about abortion and ultrasounds

10 week ultrasound

Ultrasound technician Shari Richard describes how effective ultrasounds are in changing the minds of women considering abortion.

“In my own career as an ultrasound technician, I’ve been told to turn the ultrasound monitor away from pregnant women so that they wouldn’t decide against an abortion (I refused). That’s because 90% of women change their minds about having abortions after viewing their babies via sonogram.”

She goes on to tell the following story:

“For 10 years I have been an ultrasongrapher and I have witnessed the development of pre-born children. I am convinced that if every mother could see her baby on ultrasound, the abortion argument would be over. A look through the window reveals the true victim of abortion. This is why ultrasound images are often censored, for example…

In 1990, I testified on fetal development before the House and Senate committee considering the “Freedom of Choice Act.” I brought an ultrasound videotape of fully formed fetuses as young as eight weeks after conception. Representative Don Edwards (D – CA) tried to prevent me from showing the videotape.”

Shari Richard “Now Wombs Have Windows” All about Issues vol 5 # 2

Today’s 3-d ultrasounds are even more remarkable.

Embryology textbook: Birth is “Incident” in life of child

An embryology textbook describes how birth is just an event in the development of a baby, not the beginning of his/her life.

“It should always be remembered that many organs are still not completely developed by full-term and birth should be regarded only as an incident in the whole developmental process.”

F Beck Human Embryology, Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1985 page vi

Abortionist comments on the kind of instrument used to crush a baby’s head

During a trial to determine whether or not partial-birth abortion should be legal, one abortion provider discussed grasping and crushing an unborn baby’s skull. This is done in both the partial-birth abortion (now illegal) and the commonly used D&E abortion. Read more about the D&E abortion here.

17 weeks – a baby at this stage would have his skull crushed during an abortion

THE COURT: “What did they utilize to crush the head?”

THE WITNESS: “An instrument, a large pair of forceps that have a round, serrated edge at the end of it, so that they were able to bring them together and crush the head between the ends of the instrument.”

Testimony of abortionist Dr Timothy Johnson, National Abortion Federation, et. al. v. Ashcroft, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, March 31, 2004.

Newsweek: Pro-choicers take abortion more seriously now

An article in Newsweek discussed how feminists and other pro-choicers take abortion more seriously now than they did in the past. The article claims that pro-choicers are more likely not to take abortion lightly

“Abortion, never an easy alternative for anyone, is even more daunting when you’re young. Back in the 70s – and even 80s – any woman worth her Ms. subscription knew she could pass around the hat in her dorm and collect a few hundred bucks for an abortion. Access was rarely a problem: every big city and most college towns had a clinic or at least an abortion doctor, and if he wasn’t Marcus Welty, well, at least he had an office… The climate has chilled; even ardent pro-choicers don’t treat “choice” so lightly.”

Michelle Ingrassia “Virgin Cool” Newsweek, October 17, 1994

New York abortionist doesn’t tell women he suctions out baby’s brains

In this quote from a court case in New York, abortionist Dr. Timothy Johnson had been asked whether or not he told women seeking abortions at his clinic that their babies would have their skulls punctured and brains drained during the procedure. He said no. In the type of abortions that Johnson performed, he would suck out the brain after puncturing the skull, then crush the head and remove the baby.

20 week old unborn baby. Dr. Timothy Johnson would kill this child by puncturing her skull and draining her brains

THE WITNESS: I’m … not exactly sure what using terminology like sucking the brains out would —

THE COURT: That’s what happens, doesn’t it?

THE WITNESS: Well, in some situations that might happen. There are different ways that an after-coming head could be dealt with but that is one way of describing it.

Testimony of abortionist Dr Timothy Johnson, National Abortion Federation, et. al. v. Ashcroft, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, March 31, 2004.

Sometimes it’s a “baby”, sometimes it’s not

From Lydia, an administrator at an abortion clinic:

“Patients who have a wanted pregnancy and lose it, or choose abortions because of fetal anomalies, always call it “the baby.” It is a baby to them, developed or not… Some women never “connect” to the pregnancy… For them, it is nothing like a baby. It is just there, and they want it removed. They would hate the word “baby” and do not use it. Our job is to meet the woman where she is and provide her with accurate information. I do not feel it is my job to correct terminology as long as she has a thorough understanding of the facts.”

Carole Joffe Dispatches from the Abortion Wars: the Costs of Fanaticism to Doctors, Patients, and the Rest of Us (Boston, Massachusetts: Beacon Press, 2009) 128

And what is a “thorough understanding of the facts?” See here.

Nurses “excited” by injuries to women

The following quote was in a book written by a pro-choice writer who interviewed clinic workers and spent time observing abortions in a busy clinic. She quotes the director of nursing talking about how nurses actually enjoyed it when women suffered injuries and complications from their abortions:

“In some ways it is very boring, these abortions — the same thing day after day. In fact the nurses are excited about complications because it’s something different.”

Magna Denes, In Necessity and Sorrow, New York: Basic Books. Inc.. 1976

This shows a remarkable callousness towards their patients, the very women they are supposed to be serving.
