Living Aborted Baby Holds on to Unwilling Mother

From an interview with an abortion clinic worker:

“There was one week when there were two live births in the same week. And just, you know, there’s this baby crying on the floor while all these women are in the process of trying to deal with their feelings about aborting their babies. One survived for a while.

[Interviewer] how did the mothers react who gave birth to the live babies?

Well. This one, she didn’t talk much. The mother delivered when there was no one there and there was some period when the mother was holding the baby. And it was grabbing onto her.… She was extremely upset by this whole thing.”

Clinic Counselor Describes Coping Skills

One abortion clinic counselor from Kansas said:

“This may sound like repression: however, it does work for me. When I find myself identifying with the fetus, and I think the larger it gets, that’s normal… then I think it’s okay to consciously decide to remind ourselves to identify with the woman. The external criteria of viability really isn’t what it’s about. It’s an unwanted pregnancy and that’s the bottom line.”

National Abortion Federation on Abortion Death

Barbara Radford, the National Abortion Federation president said in 1991:

“We had hoped that it (abortion patient’s death) wouldn’t get national publicity because of the political nature of all this. We want to make sure that women have choices when it comes to abortion services, and if you regulate it too strictly, you then deny women the access to service.”

Irish Professor Colin Gleeson on Abortion

One pro-choice professor said:

“Pretty soon you can imagine legislation prohibiting the washing of hands because thousands of cells are flaked off that could be turned into a stem cell and you can grow a foetus – so you’re killing a person. It’s attacks on women’s rights.”

Colin Gleeson “Chomsky criticises restrictive abortion laws” The Irish Times Apr 3, 2013

Often Abortion Patients Don’t go to Follow-Up Appointments

“Maybe 50 percent of all women who have abortions decide not to return for follow-up after the procedure.”

Suzanne T. Poppema, M.D., “Why I Am An Abortion Doctor,” Prometheus Books, 1996, p. 134

How this lack of followup effects a women’s recovery is something the abortionist doesn’t comment on.
