Abortionist: Abortions Demand Skill, Complication Rates Are High

From abortionist Warren Hern, in his book Abortion Practice. Abortion Practice can be described as a textbook on how to do abortions:

“A high level of operator skill is at least as important in abortion as it is in any surgical endeavor. Abortion is a blind procedure that proceeds by touch, awareness of the nuances of sensations provided by instruments, honesty, and caution. While competent orientation in the performance of an abortion is essential, abortion, almost more than any other operation, demands experience to develop skill… Well-trained, highly experienced, and reputable gynecologists found, to their dismay, that one abortions became legal and they began performing them, the complication rates were frequently quite high….”

Warren Hern Abortion Practice (Philadelphia: J Lippincott, 1990) Quoted by Stephen Wagner in his book Common Ground without Compromise

Patricia Heaton On Abortion

Patricia Heaton, Academy award-winning actress who appeared on Everybody Loves Raymond and elsewhere:

“The early feminists were pro-life. And really, abortion is a huge disservice to women, and it hasn’t been presented that way. As Feminists for Life-what we’re trying to do is support women, and so what we want to do is-reach women on campus-college campuses so that, when they get pregnant, they can find housing. They can find money they need to stay in school.”

Kathy Ireland On Abortion

“I was once pro-choice and the thing that changed my mind was, I read my husband’s biology books, medical books, and what I learned . . . At the moment of conception, a life starts. And this life has its own unique set of DNA, which contains a blueprint for the whole genetic makeup. The sex is determined. We know there’s a life because it’s growing and changing.”

Said during a debate on the television show “Politically Incorrect” with host Bill Mahr. quoted by Pro-Life America.com

Ken Kesey On Abortion

Ken Kesey, author of One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest:

“You are you from conception, and that never changes no matter what physical changes your body takes. And the virile sport in the Mustang driving to work with his muscular forearm tanned and ready for a day’s labor has not one microgram more right to his inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness than has the three months foetus riding in a sack of water…How can abortion be anything but fascism again, back as a fad in a new intellectual garb with a new, and more helpless, victim?”

“An Impolite Interview with Ken Kesey” by Paul Krassner, The Realist Vol 90 Dec 1971

Theodore Roosevelt On Abortion

Theodore Roosevelt revealed his pro-life convictions when he was quoted saying:

It was really heartrending to have to see the kinfolk and friends of murderers who were condemned to death, and among the very rare occasions when anything governmental or official caused me to lose sleep were times when I had to listen to some poor mother making a plea for a “criminal” so wicked, so utterly brutal and depraved, that it would have been a crime on my part to remit his punishment. On the other hand, there were certain crimes where requests for leniency merely made me angry. Such crimes were, for instance, rape, or the circulation of indecent literature, or anything connected with what would now be called the “white slave” traffic, or wife murder, or gross cruelty to women or children, or seduction and abandonment, or the action of some man in getting a girl whom he seduced to commit abortion. In an astonishing number of these cases men of high standing signed petitions or wrote letters asking me to show leniency to the criminal. In two or three of the cases one where some young roughs had committed rape on a helpless immigrant girl, and another in which a physician of wealth and high standing had seduced a girl and then induced her to commit abortion I rather lost my temper, and wrote to the individuals who had asked for the pardon, saying that I extremely regretted that it was not in my power to increase the sentence. I then let the facts be made public, for I thought that my petitioners deserved public censure. Whether they received this public censure or not I did not know, but that my action made them very angry I do know, and their anger gave me real satisfaction.

Abortion Provider: Some Abortionists Don’t Know The “Fundamental Principles of Surgery”

Dr. Warren Hern, one of the most prominent abortionists in the country, said the following when discussing the campaign by the pro-life group life dynamics to uncover instances of malpractice in abortion clinics:

“In my view, there are many legitimate cases that would not happen if people were following good standards of medical practice… There are people out there providing abortion services that do not recognize fundamental principles of surgery.”

Diane Gianelli “Claiming Abortion Malpractice” the American Medical News, 2/6/95. Quoted in Mark Crutcher “Lime 5: Exploited by Choice ” (Denton, Texas: Life Dynamics Incorporated, 1996)

Mahatma Gandhi On Abortion

Mahatma Ghandi, famous for his non-violent activism in India:

“The essence of goodness is: to preserve life, promote life, help life to achieve its highest destiny. The essence of evil is: destroy life, harm life, and hamper the development of life…It seems to me as clear as daylight that abortion would be a crime.”
