Planned Parenthood Mistakenly Shows Woman her Ultrasound, With Drastic Results

It is no surprise that many abortion clinics turn the ultrasound screen away from women who are having abortions, and I pro-choice group such as Planned Parenthood vigorously fight legislation that would require a woman to be offered the chance to see her baby on the sonogram. Planned Parenthood fights laws that say a woman has the right to see her ultrasound if she chooses to, even though she is not forced to. This is because Planned Parenthood is vigorously opposed to women having enough information to make an informed decision. Rather, they are willing to pressure women into abortions by withholding information, as this former Planned Parenthood clinic worker describes.

Sidewalk counselor and manager of a crisis pregnancy center Roderick P Murphy tells the following story:

“Anya (pseudonym) was in the abortion facility next door being prepared for an abortion when a Planned Parenthood staffer mistakenly allowed a corner of the ultrasound screen to be seen by her. When the client saw her baby moving on the screen, she panicked, jumped off the table and ran out of the building where our outside counselor steered her toward our office. We counseled her and showed her a full ultrasound screen of her baby and she wept with relief. She kept crying and saying “I almost killed my baby. I almost killed my baby.”

Roderick P Murphy. Stopping Abortions at Death’s Door (Southbridge, Massachusetts: Taig Publishing 2009) P194

And read about Abby Johnson, clinic manager who converted to the pro-life position after watching an abortion on ultrasound in her facility.

Textbook on Obstetrics Nursing On When Life Begins

“Thus a new cell is formed from the union of a male and a female gamete. [sperm and egg cells] The cell, referred to as the zygote, contains a new combination of genetic material, resulting in an individual different from either parent and from anyone else in the world.”

Managed Care Is Unpopular, Says Doctor

17-wks — legal to abort in every US state

While many pro-choice activists have bemoaned the shortage of abortion providers, one abortionist thinks that new abortionists will step up to the plate after the present ones retire:

“Managed care is such a bad system, many physicians will get fed up with it. This is a cash business, and doctors can make as much doing this as in family practice. I just don’t think there’s ever going to be a shortage of providers.”

Dr. Tom Tvedten

“4 abortion providers in state refuse to let threats dictate practices Doctors face peril, continue work: Physicians perform procedure despite decades of violent opposition”Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (Little Rock, AR) March 27, 2001

Abortion is very profitable for doctors. Working only a few hours a day, they can make as much money as they can with an ordinary career as a doctor.

Mother Jones Speaks Out Against Making Abortion Clinics Safer

One clinic administrator complained about a law that would allow women to sue clinics where they were injured (physically or emotionally) within 10 years of their abortions. The law, vigeously fought by pro-choicers, (who seem to care little for women who are injured in abortions) was defeated, then later passed. Hope Medical Group for Women (abortion clinic) manager Robin Rothrock said, in an article in Mother Jones:

“It was like a really scary movie, when you think the bad guy is dead, and suddenly he rises up and grabs you…There’s no way a physician can perform an abortion with this law on the books. It’s an insane level of exposure.”

Should women injured in abortion, or the families of women killed in abortions, be allowed to sue for damages? Is forbidding them from getting compensation for bad health care anti-woman? Somehow, Mother Jones manages to present idea of injured women seeking justice as a threat to women everywhere. The same article speaks out against abortion clinic regulations. In Louisiana, a news station exposed filthy conditions at Delta Women’s Clinic in Baton Rouge. In response, pro-lifers enacted legislation to require abortion clinics to be inspected and to meet minimum health standards. Mother Jones manages to make excuses for the clinic and advocates against the laws. It quotes a pro-abortion researcher claiming that:

“Having published on every hemorrhaged abortion death in the United States, I can assure you that not a single one was caused by a door width.”

No, but a death could be contributed to by the fact that stretchers can’t get through narrow doors, and lifesaving equipment cannot reach the injured woman.

They say that propaganda is the form of lying that deceives your friends without deceiving your enemies. In this case, Mother Jones serves up some excellent propaganda.

6 Pound Aborted Baby Expelled in Toilet

The affidavit of an employee from Midtown Hospital, which was once the largest abortion clinic in Georgia, says the following:

“On April 18, 1998, at approximately 7:00 a.m., I witnessed a patient deliver an intact fetus in the toilet of a bathroom in the waiting room area. After expelling the baby and the afterbirth, the patient walked to the operating room because there were no wheelchairs. I opened the fetal sac so that the fetus could be weighed. The weight was approximately 3029 grams [over 6 pounds, 10 ounces!]. It was a very big fetus. My impression is that at Midtown Hospital a procedure will be done at any gestational age as long as the patient has the money. I witnessed patients frequently expelling fetuses on the floor and in the toilet. It happened frequently throughout each day the abortion procedures were done. … Women are allowed to expel fetuses whenever and wherever with no concern for the patient. When I would attempt to comfort the women, I was told that this was not my job.”

This particular clinic was eventually closed, but only after operating for years. Read more information about it here.

According to the clinics ad in “Abortion Clinics Online” a database which supposedly lists only reputable clinics:

“Midtown Hospital has stood for quality healthcare since its founding in the early 1900s. … In 1977, the focus of that outstanding care changed when Midtown Hospital became a women’s medical facility offering a full spectrum of gynecological healthcare services and the tradition of unsurpassed excellence remained. … Today, Midtown Hospital is a rare facility, providing the medical profession and patients with nationally-recognized programs in second trimester abortions for medical and genetic studies. … Midtown is an invaluable resource to referring universities, hospitals and private physicians. … Every abortion is overseen by a Board Certified pathologist. Whether a patient is treated as an out-patient or is admitted for an overnight stay, she receives experienced, professional care in a warm and comfortable environment. Although Midtown Hospital strives to maintain reasonable costs, the staff never cuts corners on laboratory tests, medical care, counseling, personal attention or follow-up care. Midtown Hospital is licensed by the State of Georgia. All physicians are Board Certified and all other medical staff are fully licensed. In addition, our staff is trained in and dedicated to meeting the personal, emotional and physical needs of our patients. It is in this spirit that we preserve the dignity of our patients and provide uncompromised medical care in an atmosphere of comfort and caring.” (Emphasis supplied.)

From The American Medical Association Of 1871

The 1871 statement of the American Medical Association (AMA) on abortionists defined them as

“Men who cling to a noble profession only to dishonor it. … false brethren … educated assassins, these modern Herods … These men who, with corrupt hearts and blood-stained hands, destroy what they cannot reinstate, corrupt souls, and destroy the fairest fabric that God has ever created … under the cloak of that medical profession … monsters of iniquity.”

Quoted in William Brennan, Ph.D. “The A.M.A. on Abortion: Anatomy of Contrasting Policy Statements.” The National Pro-Life Journal, Fall 1980. Pro-Life Publications, Inc, pages 16 and 17.

Now, of course, the American Medical Association supports abortion.

A Saltwater Creature?

One doctor says the following:

“I prefer to look at the problem [of abortion] through the eyes of Darwin and evolution. Why not permit abortion in the first trimester, when the embryo is still a salt water creature …?”

George Crile, Jr., M.D., retired head of surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. “When Does Human Life Begin?” Guest editorial in the Medical Tribune, March 6, 1985

9week_side — an unborn baby at nine weeks, well within the first trimester.

Is this a saltwater creature? It’s hard to believe that a doctor could be so poorly informed about fetal development. Perhaps he knows the facts and is just using propaganda to support abortion.

Here is a picture of what this unborn baby looks like after a nine week abortion:

Doctor Suggests Abortion For Those Predisposed to Cancer

Dr. Cecil B. Jacobson, Chief of the Reproductive Genetics Unit at George Washington University Hospital at the time of this quote, said the following about the abortion of handicapped children:

“I can’t imagine any reasonably responsible person arguing against the abortion of mongols [derogatory term for down syndrome children]… If we could tell what fetuses are going to be affected with cancer in their 40s and 50s, I would be for aborting them now.”

Anti-Prostitution Activist Speaks Out

A feminist who opposes prostitution speaks out on abortion:

“Women are still big business for men. Abortion now provides a new multimillion-dollar business in another kind of feminine prostitution. In the first form of prostitution women are paid by men. But when women prostitute themselves to what is called the “baby scrambler,” the suction machine for abortion, they give the money to men more often than not … If women were not so intellectually passive, they would be able to see through this so-called ‘liberation.'”

Anti-prostitution activist Mary Rosera Joyce. “The Sexual Revolution Has Yet to Begin.” In Thomas J. Hilgers and Dennis J. Horan (editors), Abortion and Social Justice. Thaxton, Virginia: Sun Life Publishers, 1980. Pages 224 and 225.
