Abortion Clinic Escorts Hide the Truth

Many times, abortion clinics do not give accurate information to the women who go there. There is a section here that chronicles some of the lies and biased counseling from clinic workers.

For example, here is a drawing that was given out at abortion clinics – it was put out by the National Abortion Federation, which is an organization of abortion providers. They are aware of the facts of fetal development, they have to be – it is their job to do abortions.

Note – the drawing has been enlarged and is no longer “actual size”

Here is a real picture of an unborn baby at six weeks after conception:

Here is a picture of an unborn baby at nine weeks, from the endowment for human development.

And finally, here is a picture at 12 weeks

 

Pro-Life sidewalk counselors often offer women literature with accurate pictures of unborn babies and true facts about abortion. Randy Alcorn, pro-life author and activist, tells the following story:

“My wife often used to do sidewalk counseling outside abortion clinics. She offered accurate medical information as well as financial and practical support for women who felt they had no choice but abortion. Routinely clinic workers would take this information out of the woman’s hands or tell them, “It’s a bunch of lies.”

“They’re Doing it for the Money” Says Former Clinic Worker

Former abortion clinic worker Nina Whitten says:

“Every single transaction that we did was cash money. We wouldn’t take a check, or even a credit card. If you didn’t have the money, forget it. It was unusual at all for me to take 10,000 to 15,000 a day to the bank – in cash. It’s a lie when they tell you they’re doing it to help women because they’re not. They’re doing it for the money.”

Article Discusses the Wonders of Ultrasound

Karla Dial wrote an article in Citizen Magazine about how ultrasounds of unborn babies affect parents, including those parents who are considering abortions.

According to Robert Wolfson, M.D., Ph.D., the Colorado Springs, Colo., perinatologist:

“It [ultrasound] creates a commitment to the pregnancy and the individual on board from both parents,” Wolfson told Citizen. “The mother can feel the baby, but the father needs a photograph to form a relationship with that child. Imagine putting that picture on your desk and looking at it every day.

“It’s all about the fact that you can fall in love with your child before birth. People know intuitively that there is power in that.”

Also from the article:

“This is a ‘Wow’ kind of machine,” agreed Medical Director Dr. Bill Cutrer. “The kinds of images we can get on the real early pregnancies at seven weeks, eight weeks, nine or 10, are just breathtaking. There’s no one that leaves with any doubt this is a baby.” ….

“They don’t want them to go to Planned Parenthood, where they’ll get their full range of options,” Alison Herwitt, NARAL Pro-Choice America’s director of government relations, told Newhouse News Service of the bill’s sponsors. “They just want them to go to crisis pregnancy centers, where women will be exposed to this weapon at taxpayers’ expense.”

Is an ultrasound machine a weapon? Planned Parenthood routinely turns the ultrasound screen away from women and discourages or outright forbids them from looking at it when they come in for abortions. The organization fights laws that say a woman must be offered a chance to view it– they oppose allowing a woman to see an ultrasound even when it is her choice to do so. Is informing a woman about what’s going on in her body wrong? Or is it better to keep women in the dark? What about an ultrasound, which merely reveals the baby that is already there, makes it a weapon?

A woman who was considering abortion after a pregnancy resulting from rape agreed to a free ultrasound at a pregnancy center:

““She was blinking. She was just hanging out, looking around, sucking on her thumb,” Oliver told Citizen. “It was so realistic, so lifelike. It looks like you can just reach right in there and pick up the baby.

“I know they have a heartbeat at 4 to 6 weeks, but it still doesn’t feel as real to you until you see a human. It amazed me.”

She kept her baby.

“I never thought I could love or bond with a child [who] was conceived under such horrible circumstances, but that’s where we don’t give God enough credit,” Oliver said. “I look at her, and I don’t even see him. She’s beautiful and perfect.”

13 week-old unborn baby

Dr. Vincent J. Collins, Professor of Anesthesiology and author of “Principles of Anesthesiology: General and Regional Anesthesia”

“Fetal pain responses begin by 13 1/2 weeks gestation at the latest, and probably as early as eight weeks, based upon the development of the pre-born baby’s nervous system.”

British Doctor Discusses Abortion Dangers in the Daily Mail

UK Gynecologist Dr Himansu Basu says the following:

“For many women abortion is not as straightforward as it might seem.  It can cause infections and heavy bleeding and episodes of depression which can last several years.’ In the long term it can lead to infertility, miscarriages or a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy where the foetus develops outside the womb.”

Doctor Harasses Employees at An Abortion Clinic in Illinois

A clinic worker in Illinois testified ( Case # 92-L50928, 4627) that the managing director at the abortion clinic where she worked harassed her until she quit.

She states,

“… you always knew when he was mad at you. Verbally the language and the things, the names people were called, it was a constant thing there…calling a woman a whore was not beyond this man. He always talked about short skirts and the girls’ legs.”

10 week-old unborn baby – perhaps doctors who kill these children learn contempt for those around them

She stated that he wanted to

 “make them quit, so they wouldn’t have to pay them unemployment insurance.”

The case went before an employment referee, who ruled in the employee’s favor.

Clinic Owner Merle Hoffman Defends Her Wealth in Salon Magazine

Merle Hoffman, founder of an abortion clinic, has no qualms about taking in millions of dollars from her abortion business. After describing how she carries a gun to shoot any violent anti-abortion protesters she might encounter, the author of the article about her says:

“….she doesn’t think material possessions are unfeminist, either. Impeccably coiffed – signaling more Upper East Side doyenne than die-hard boomer activist — she wears an enormous glittering ring she designed with the symbol of Choices, combining the caduceus and infinity symbols.

Hoffman herself then says:

“If there’s a 1 percent at this point, feminists should be part of that 1 percent until we get to 50-50, or 60-40,” Hoffman says. “Why not? I trust myself with power.”

Irin Carmen Abortion pioneer: Defend rights or lose them Salon MONDAY, JAN 2, 2012

Abortion is a very lucrative business for clinic owners and abortionists. Many abortionists make millions of dollars from their operations, flying from clinic to clinic or working in a chain of clinics.

No abortion clinic does abortions for free.

Elsewhere in the article, Hoffman admits that she knows that abortion is the taking of a life.

Doctor Calls Abortion a “Human Tragedy”

Abortionist Dr. Don Sloan:

“I don’t think there is anyone doing abortions who hasn’t wished at some point that the situations creating the demand for them would just go away, including me. There have been plenty of times when I wanted to say, “Enough! This is more human tragedy than I want to deal with.”
