Pro-Choice writer supports selling abortion pill online

This pro-abortion writer feels that the abortion pill should be available online to send to women anywhere. This is incredibly risky for the woman. It is essentially supporting the same “back-alley” type abortion that pro-choicers claim legalizing abortion stopped.

“The Internet has often been described as the new backstreet, but this virtual backstreet is different from the literal one of the past. If women use reputable web sources, then they can access reliable abortion medication…

The opportunity to use the Internet to buy abortion pills has opened up new possibilities.

Even women in countries where abortion is legal sometimes try to buy pills online if access to the standard abortion services is denied or difficult. Buying abortion pills online does leave women open to being sold ineffective or even dangerous medical treatments: two safe and recommended websites are [names two websites]…

Buying pills from reputable websites is incomparably safer than the old backstreet.…

Where these services act in place of legal provision, buying pills online has been a lifesaver for women – despite the danger that they might accidentally use a disreputable site.”

Abortion worker explains how violence against abortionists “solidified” her pro-choice views

Former abortion worker Jewels Green writes about learning about murders of other abortion workers:

“There were other well-known murders of doctors and staff who worked at abortion facilities. I signed sympathy cards that were sent to the families of Dr. John Britton and James Barrett just a little over a year after Dr. Gunn was shot. Then, on December 30, 1994, two women were killed at a clinic shooting in Boston.

I imagine that some people left their jobs at abortion clinics after that. I didn’t quit, but I did wear a bulletproof vest to work for a week after the Boston killings. During this scary time, I had more nightmares about being killed at work than I did about the killing going on in the procedure rooms.

These terrible events solidified my pro-choice ideology into a steadfast commitment to ensuring that abortion would remain a legal option for pregnant women.”

Head of NAF: making money off of abortion is not a bad thing

Uta Landy ,then director of the National Abortion Federation:

“Making money is not a bad thing. What is bad is if the patient is being exploited, and I think abortion providers have proven they are dedicated people, concerned with delivering a safe and convenient service.”

Nurse who assisted with abortions still has nightmares

A nurse who assisted in abortions still has nightmares 20 years later:

“I have never had an abortion, but I am an RN who feels as if I have had one… emotionally. I assisted with them for 10 years. After 10 years of emotional “rape,” I finally grew strong enough to stop assisting them in all ways. My depression has gone, and I have adopted a child. I have not assisted with an abortion in 20 years. I prayed for forgiveness and I know I am forgiven, but the nightmares continue.”

Abortion worker blogs about “respecting the lives” of babies she kills

Abortion Clinic Days is a blog where abortion workers write about their experiences working in abortion facilities.

Under the heading “respect for life,” the blog says:

many years ago i remember a patient telling me that she chose our clinic because she could tell that we respected her and knew that we would therefore respect the life within her. it was very important to her that she have trust in the clinic she chose because she felt that, given her life circumstances, returning her baby to god was the kindest, most maternal thing she could do for it.

i assured her that her feeling was correct, that we in fact do all we can to honor the life that women are unable to continue and we encourage them to find their own way to make peace with the pregnancy (whether it be a baby or a “pre-baby” to them), figure out how to forgive themselves and also to continue working through any religious or spiritual issues if they have them….

The blog goes on to say:

our clinic is the kind of place where women can ask, as one did today, if we would bless and baptize her baby. i was able to do that for her. honoring her pregnancy as she herself chooses is part of what we hope to do for each woman. using water (she had planned to bring holy water with her but had at the last minute forgotten it) and saying the words i know from my catholic upbringing, i did as she asked. she had a name in mind for the baby, one that could work for either gender and i gave it that name.

we want to be a clinic that respects life, that honors women’s choices. the two are compatible. believe me!

here is a picture of a baby whose life was “respected” in an abortion clinic

Mother calls daughter with Down syndrome ‘closest thing to an angel’

Michele Harmon wrote about her child with Down syndrome in her essay, “The Most Beautiful Face on Earth.”

Ciarra attends a regular preschool program, she was potty trained before she was three, and is a very independent little kid. She is funny and spirited, stubborn and witty. She whistles little songs all day long. She idolizes her big brother. She loves to draw and can put all the details into a drawing of a face.

At five years old, this child they told me would be so unworthy of life, such a burden, has defied all predictions. She is in a mainstream kindergarten class where she holds her own nicely and is doing most things like any other child her age. Letters and words seem to be her strength.

She has so many friends that sometimes we get tired of dragging her to play dates and parties… All those worries I had about kids shying away from her have turned out to be the exact opposite. She is like a magnet.… Her teachers have fallen in love with her. Many of them were afraid of Down syndrome before… now they are like me, grateful for the opportunity to know her. She continues to touch people with her sweetness and surprise them with her ability. Ciarra is a little girl who has been the best teacher that I can ever imagine having. She is a joy like no other….

She seems to have a way with people that I have never seen before. I wonder if it is her cheerfulness or her simple joy in everything.…

Maybe someday it won’t be so scary to have a child with Down syndrome.Maybe someday 95% of her peers will not be eliminated.… I am blessed beyond words by this little girl. That blessing seems to know no end, it grows and grows and fills my heart daily. People may ask if it’s hard to have a kid like her. I wish they could know the truth. Sure, there are days I get tired. She asks a lot of questions, and she is in perpetual motion. But I wouldn’t trade her for the world…

She is the closest thing to an angel I will ever see.
