From an article on media bias in the abortion debate. Lisa Myers, who covers abortion for NBC:
“I do believe that some of the stories I have read or seen have almost seemed like cheerleading for the pro-choice side.”

Share on FacebookLate term “Christian” abortionist Willie Parker:
“In listening to a sermon by Dr. Martin Luther King, I came to a deeper understanding of my spirituality, which places a higher value on compassion. King said what made the good Samaritan ‘good’ is that instead of focusing on would happen to him by stopping to help the traveler, he was more concerned about what would happen to the traveler if he didn’t stop to help. I became more concerned about what would happen to these women if I, as an obstetrician, did not help them.”
He does abortions up to 24 weeks.

On Nightline, a Chinese woman who enforced the one child policy was interviewed. She helped round up women who were pregnant and forced them to have abortions. The interview:
BRIAN ROSS, ABC NEWS (VO) By her own admission, this woman has been one of the most feared and hated people in the small town in China where she lives.
KIAO DUAN GAO Sometimes they’d see me when they were captured and they would curse me or they’d try to hit me with sticks.
BRIAN ROSS (VO) Her name is Kiao Duan Gao and for the last 14 years, Mrs Gao has been the local official in the Yonghe township on the South China coast in charge of enforcing China’s one child birth policy.
….
KIAO DUAN GAO: I saw some women that were nine months pregnant put on the operating table and forced to have abortions….If the doctor does it correctly, the injection will be done through the mother’s stomach right into the child’s brain and the child will die at that time. Or if the doctor misses a little bit, then the child can still be alive when he comes out of his mother’s womb and as soon as the child cries, the doctor will give it another injection and the child will die.
BRIAN ROSS In front of the mother?
KIAO DUAN GAO Usually. Sometimes mothers ask them please let me have the child and the doctors will say oh no, can’t do anything about it. And they’ll just let it die.
BRIAN ROSS Have you been present for such a procedure?
KIAO DUAN GAO Yes. Sometimes I’ve been there. Sometimes when I’ve sent them up there I’ve been in the room with them. I feel so sorry for them and it feels so cruel and if I could help them, I would.
BRIAN ROSS But you’re the person who signed the order, right?
KIAO DUAN GAO Yes, I’m ordered from above.
….
KIAO DUAN GAO This is the permit to have children. After people are married, they apply to have permission to have the children and if they get pregnant without permission then we have to force them to have an abortion and if they’re not willing to, if they run away or, we capture their parents or something else. We force them to do it.
BRIAN ROSS (VO) On the first floor, jail cells, a birth control jail for women who, Mrs Gao says, refuse to be sterilized or who become pregnant without her approval. Relatives who help to hide such women also end up here, she says.
KIAO DUAN GAO The people that are captured are locked up in there. There’s one for locking up men and one for locking up women.
BRIAN ROSS And how long would people be locked up?
KIAO DUAN GAO Oh, sometimes they’re locked up for five or six months. Some have even been locked up for eight months.
…
BRIAN ROSS (VO) The tape shows what Mrs Gao calls the sterilization doctor and the abortion room for abortions in the first trimester. Abortions for women in the final months of their pregnancy, up to and including nine months, are done at a hospital because of the serious nature of that procedure.
KIAO DUAN GAO It doesn’t matter how old the child is, if it is outside the family planning then it has to be aborted.
BRIAN ROSS And how many times did this happen over the course of the 14 years you ran the planned birth center?
KIAO DUAN GAO Hundreds of times.
…
BRIAN ROSS (VO) Mrs Gao says in the last few years she has secretly been trying to help some of the young women she has put through hell, including this young woman, who was unmarried, 19 years old and nine months pregnant with an unauthorized child when an informer turned her in and a squad of men was sent to the family home.
KIAO DUAN GAO The work group went over there and told her to come out and she was not willing to. She was hiding inside of her mother’s house. They were threatening to demolish the house.
BRIAN ROSS (VO) According to Mrs Gao, her men then smashed and nearly destroyed the house, seen in this photo, what Mrs Gao says is a common practice when someone refuses to cooperate with the birth control forces.
KIAO DUAN GAO She was about to have the baby. She wasn’t willing to come out.
BRIAN ROSS She was screaming?
KIAO DUAN GAO Oh yeah. She was crying. She was crying.
BRIAN ROSS And then she was forcibly taken to have an abortion?
KIAO DUAN GAO Yes. They took her over to have the abortion and she gave birth to a baby boy and the mother just cried and cried.
BRIAN ROSS What happened to the boy, the little baby?
KIAO DUAN GAO There’s nothing they could do. It just, he came out and he died.
BRIAN ROSS (VO) According to Mrs Gao, the woman’s child had been injected in the head with some kind of solution and died shortly after being born. (interviewing) Do you regret what you did?
KIAO DUAN GAO Of course. Many times when I went back home I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t sleep well.

“It’s highly profitable. I could do three abortions in my office in an hour and a half, and make more than caring for a woman nine months and delivering the baby.”

Share on FacebookRayna Rapp, who aborted her baby because the child had down syndrome:
“The psychological pain is enormous. Deciding to end the life of a fetus you wanted and carried for most of five months is no easy matter. The number of relatively late second trimester abortions performed for genetic reasons is very small. It seems an almost inconsequential number, unless you happen to be one of them.”

Former pro-choice activist Barbara Curtis wrote:
“Twenty–seven years ago, nine black-robed men handed feminists a triumph….
How about it, sisters? Especially those of you who rode the crest of the second wave with me: Did you ever dream that this was where we were headed? Did you ever dream we would call a politician a friend to women no matter how flagrantly he exploited them as long as he continued to back abortion on demand? Did you ever dream we would enter the realms of denial required to condone a procedure in which a perfectly viable infant is pulled feet first through the birth canal until all but her head is exposed, then stabbed in the skull to suck out her brains, delivered dead and sold to the highest bidder for body parts?
That’s “a certain type of late–term procedure,” according to modern feminists, who have twisted themselves like pretzels to pretend the dream did not turn into a nightmare.”
Barbara Curtis “The Sisterhood, 27 Years Later” The Washington Times, January 24, 2000
She is referring to the struggle to ban partial birth abortions, where the abortionist partly delivers the baby before killing him.
These abortions were banned, but late term D&E abortions are just as brutal.
The following dialog took place on The View:
JOY BEHAR: Hillary is in a quandary in my opinion, because she’s talking about violence against women and sexual harassment and all that stuff and her husband has a checkered past to put it mildly, so she is in a bind…..
PAULA FARIS: There are accusations but there are three women that claim that he did things to them that they didn’t want. One of them is Paula Jones…. Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey. They say that he either exposed himself to them, raped them or groped them. These are three accusations….
BEHAR: It puts her in a bind. On the other hand, it’s her policies that really matter. Like, Republicans have voted against the Violence Against Women Act. Now, that to me, is more important than anything that Bill Clinton did or didn’t do because it’s what she’s going to vote for, how she’s going to lead the country that matters more than that. On the other hand, he is a dog. Let’s face it. …
People have to understand, it’s policy. Teddy Kennedy. Remember Chappaquiddick? Am I the oldest person in the room? Chappaquiddick. I mean, a girl drowns and he abandons her and she drowned and women still voted for Teddy Kennedy. Why? Because he voted for women’s rights. That’s why. That’s the bottom line of it in my opinion. I mean, I don’t like either one of them, to tell you the truth, Teddy or Bill. They’re both dogs as far as I’m concerned. But I still will vote for Bill Clinton because he votes in my favor.”

Share on FacebookRandy Alcorn wrote about what happened when he was demonstrating with some pro-lifers at an abortion facility:
“At the last [rescue] clinic personnel poured water on us from above. A few girls kept circling the block in their car, pulling over to scream obscenities at us. They shouted incredible accusations, like, “The only reason you want to save these children is so you can rape them.” When their voices got hoarse and they ran out of dirty words (which took a long time), they came back with a carton of eggs and pelted us.”
