Judith Timson of the Star on Abortion

From a pro-choice author:

The women I know who have had abortions are not ashamed of a difficult choice they made, but they don’t revel in it either. I asked a friend whether she would talk about it. “Absolutely not,” she said. “This is a story with a lot of pain and even after all these years, few people know.”

Most women who choose an abortion don’t do so because they’ve been raped or because of severe fetal abnormalities, she continued. “They do it for the same reason I did. It just was not the right time or circumstance in which to be pregnant.”

Judith Timson “Abortion tell-alls are a trap: Timson” The Star July 10, 2013

Abortion is difficult even for pro-choice women because the guilt of killing your own child will be made manifest, even when a woman lies to herself that what she did was okay.

To see what a baby of this age looks like after he or she is aborted, go here.

Life Should Not Always Be Preserved (Revolutionary Worker)

“Is it true that a fetus is a form of life? Of course it is. It is made up of live cells, it is growing and processing energy, it has the capacity to mature and reproduce, it has a genetic system and so on.

Will an abortion destroy this form of life? Yes, absolutely. …

Just because something has the characteristics of “life” doesn’t mean people should necessarily preserve it. This is an obvious truth. Think about it: People routinely terminate “life” for what is seen as a greater good. We do this every time we eat—all the fruits, vegetables, and meats come from live plants and animals killed for our nourishment. People end “life” every time we cut a tree for firewood, every time we take antibiotics to kill off the live disease organisms which are making us sick, or even every time we kill other human beings in self-defense or to prevent them from causing other human beings to suffer and die.”

What Is an Abortion and Why Women Must Have the Right to Choose–Life Cannot and Should Not Always Be Preserved
by A.S.K. Revolutionary Worker, January 23, 2005

This nine week old unborn baby is representative of the majority of abortions in America. She is not a plant, germ or animal, she is a human being.

Dr. Martin Haskell on Dismemberment

Abortionist Martin Haskell originated the D&X (partial birth) procedure because:

“… most surgeons find dismemberment [i.e., D&E] at twenty weeks and beyond to be difficult due to the toughness of fetal tissues at this stage of development.”

Planned Parenthood Laments 400 Babies Saved From Abortion

“That means something like 400 [pregnant women] have had their life substantially disrupted… It means that 400 real children at the end of those pregnancies are going to be born into families that may have, at very realistic levels, said that, ‘We can’t afford another mouth to feed,’ or ‘I can’t afford child care.’,”

Bryan Howard, president of Planned Parenthood Arizona, on the drop in abortions by 400 after a pro-life law took effect. The law required a medical doctor to perform every abortion and meet with the patient 24 hours before the operation to offer her a chance to see the ultrasound.

Jill Stanek “Abortion numbers down in AZ, but Planned Parenthood still does 90%; laments 400 “real children” who may survive

8weekbluebackground — unborn baby at 8 weeks- common age for an abortion

See what babies at this age look like when they are aborted.

I wonder if when they get older any of those children will look back on this article and wonder why Planned Parenthood is so unhappy they are alive.

Abortionist Describes Women’s Ambivalence

“She doesn’t want to have an abortion, but she doesn’t want to have a baby. That’s what I think people need to understand. You can be ambivalent about abortion and still decide to have one. And you can be ambivalent about abortion and still be pro-choice. Lots of people are.”

Renée Chelian, quoted Anna Quindlen “The Clinic: a No Spin Zone” Newsweek, October “16, 2006

Dr. Chelian run the Northland Family Planning Center, an abortion and family planning clinic

Pro-lifers need to encourage women to listen to that little voice that tells them that abortion is wrong. I believe that deep down, everyone knows that abortion is killing. Women who come to the clinic ambivalent may still have their minds changed by sidewalk counselors. Many pro-choice people as well have deep ambivalence about abortions. Often, the more a person knows about abortion, the more uneasiness they feel about it.

Woman Has 24 Abortions

“I think that if a woman comes for her 100th abortion it would probably be an injustice to foist her as a mother upon a child. I did have a Yugoslavian woman come to me who had had 24 abortions, mainly in Yugoslavia where abortion is considered a method of contraception. She didn’t know any other way. We taught her about alternative methods of contraception. I never felt any hostility towards her for having so many abortions.”

Abortionist is often asked to baptize aborted babies

From an article about abortion providers and religion:

“Religious abortion doctors want more support from their clergy. Dr. [Curtis] Boyd [abortionist] is often asked by Native American women to bless the aborted [baby], and by Roman Catholic women to baptize it, He proposes that schools of theology develop special ceremonies and prayers to mark the loss [of the fetus]”

Abortion Counselors Upset by “Supercool” Clients

Study found that

“abortion counselors were most upset by the “supercool client” who rejected pre-abortion counseling, and that they welcomed some emotional discharge as a sign that abortion was regarded with appropriate seriousness.”

Paul Sachdev “Perspectives on Abortion” (Metuchen, NJ: The Scarecrow Press, 1985) p 215. Essay entitled “Physicians, Hospitals and Abortion: The Influence of Attitudes in Medical Practice” by Constance A. Nathanson

The clinic workers, who see the bodies of aborted babies daily, know the gravity of abortion.

Women have abortions to be good mothers, says Dr.

Dr. Elizabeth Karlin, director of the Women’s Medical Center of Madison, Wisconsin:

“There is only reason I’ve ever heard for having an abortion: the desire to be a good mother…”

“Lies!”Shout Pro-Choice Demonstrators

Often, pro-choice activists refuse to believe that the pictures shown by pro-lifers are really that of unborn babies. Many of them maintain that abortion destroys a cluster of cells rather than a baby. Therefore, they are horrified by pictures that depict arms and legs torn off and skulls crushed. They even oppose letting people see pictures of intact unborn babies from embryology textbooks.

“Look at the pictures, look at the pictures,” shouted abortion opponents, holding up big posters showing a fetus at eight weeks.

“Lies, lies,” marchers shouted back.
