Third trimester baby bleeds to death after botched abortion

Pro-lifer Troy Clark, Ph.D, documented the following story

“Dorothy”, age 23, had an abortion at Family Planning Medical Clinic on October 30, 1987. The gestational age was misdiagnosed before the abortion was started. When trouble arose, she was transported to a hospital, where the gestational age was estimated to be 21 weeks. The abortion was completed.

An autopsy on the baby revealed a well-developed human being with no abnormalities other than injuries caused by abortion, including traumatic amputation of left arm at shoulder. The baby bled to death from the wound, with a lacerated area extending over 3 inches long and 2 inches wide. He had been 30 to 31 weeks of gestational age.”

Abortion clinic director: I’m in the business of death

Reporter Leonard Stern spoke to Joan Wright, abortion clinic director. He interviewed her, and she talked at length about how women would suffer from botched abortions if abortion were ever banned. He asked if she and the other clinic workers hide what they do from women and lie to them about abortion. Wright replied:

“She said. “Good grief! They accuse us of pretending we’re not doing what we’re doing? I’m in the business of death!”

Baby girl born alive after failed abortion

Pro-life author Troy Clark documented the following story in his book:

“Taranda,” age 17, went to a Family Planning Clinic for Reproductive Health for an abortion on December 22, 1989. Dr. Karen J Smiley misdiagnosed the pregnancy at 6 weeks and performed an abortion.

Four days later, Taranda gave birth to a one pound, critically ill infant girl in a hospital corridor. Taranda’s lawyer said, “She’s devastated, obviously. She would never have dreamed of having an abortion had she known it was 26 weeks old.” Taranda needed psychiatric care after her ordeal. The following news agencies reported her story:

Neonatologist testifies about fetal pain

Dr. Colleen A Malloy, Assistant professor, division of neonatology at Northwestern University testified before the House Judiciary Committee in June 2012, and said:

“[T]hus, the difference between fetal and neonatal pain is simply the locale in which the pain occurs. I could never imagine subjecting my tiny patients to horrific procedures such as those that involve limb detachment or cardiac injection.”

David Andrusko “Neonatologist tells Congress the ‘fetus and neonate born prior to term may have an even heightened sensation of pain compared to an infant more advanced in gestation” Part 3 of 4, National Right to Life News Today 5/22/2012

Abortion clinic gives lower dose of pill to drive profits

An abortion clinic owner increases her profits the following way:

“Now, clinics are grappling with the mifepristone dilemma. Owners feel they have to offer the recently approved abortion pill, formerly known as RU-486, because women are asking for it and seem to expect it. But its price — $270 for three pills — will be a problem. Many owners say that if they charge what it costs to provide the three pills plus the three office visits, the lab work, and the counseling, they will lose customers to competitors who say they will keep the price much lower.

Some have found creative solutions. Ms. Chelian said she is considering offering women just one pill instead of three and to have them sign a form saying they understand that one pill is not the approved dose but that studies have shown that one pill is effective. Then she can charge them just $80 more than for a surgical abortion.”

Gina Kolata “As Abortion Rate Decreases, Clinics Compete for Patients” The New York Times December 30, 2000

Even though giving one pill is not medically recommended, the abortion clinic manages to stay competitive and is able to sell abortions to women by keeping the price down. This shows how abortion clinics are really businesses. They are willing to cut corners with medical care in order to stay competitive and make money

Writer gives reasons women have abortions

Leslie Savan wrote the following in the Village Voice:

“…many women of my generation are replacing having children with having abortions, not only in a literal sense but also as a major rite of passage …”wanted unwanted pregnancies” become attractive in the first place because of interacting and not-always conscious motives, among them:

• a desire to know we’re fertile

• to test the commitment of the man…

• abortion as a rite of passage…the fact that more women are aborting makes it more permissible, even intriguing…

• torn between “femininity” and “feminism” getting pregnant proves we are feminine while getting the abortion proves we are feminist…

Leslie Savan,, “Abortion Chic: Attraction of ‘Wanted-Unwanted’ Pregnancies” The Village Voice, February 4, 1981.

New Scientist magazine: Life begins at fertilization

In an article in New Scientist, a task force of scientists came to the following conclusion:

“The task force finds that the new recombinant DNA technologies indisputably prove that the unborn child is a whole human being from the moment of fertilization, that all abortions terminate the life of a living human being, and that the unborn child is a separate human patient under the care of modern medicine.”

Under Evidence Cited:

“The task force cited scientific advances since 1973 as showing an embryo to be a “whole, separate, unique, living, human being” from the moment of conception. The advances in question include DNA fingerprinting, which shows a pattern of DNA that can identify an individual, and the polymerase chain reaction, which makes it possible to amplify and extract that information from a single cell. Techniques that show an embryo has a complete set of DNA “have proven that each human being is totally unique immediately at fertilization”, the panel’s report says. The task force also cited findings that control of growth and development are established by the embryo’s DNA after the third division of the fertilized egg: this stage is reached long before the embryo is implanted in the womb, which has previously been cited as signifying when personhood began.”

Abortionist: “Abortion providers are “hot”

From one abortion doctor:

“An unexpected side effect of the 2016 election is that many people have become vocal about their support for reproductive rights. Suddenly, dating an abortion provider can be cool, a way to proclaim one’s liberal street cred. I met an investment banker who was close to a decade younger than I am. For him, my profession seemed to add to the edginess of dating an older woman. There was the hard-partying Alaskan fisherman on an extended shore break, who found my commitment to reproductive justice “hot.” So, abortion providers are “hot” now?”

Father of baby with down syndrome : I can’t imagine my life without her

In a conversation about aborting down syndrome babies, one new father said:

“When i found out i was going to be a father, [of a baby with down syndrome] me and my girlfriend freaked out and quickly said ” can we do this, are you sure, its going to ruin our plans ” and i was scared to death.

As soon as my daughter was born, its a whole another story, the greatest joy of my life, i did a complete 360 and now i cant picture my life without my daughter.

What im saying is, You could say i wouldnt want a down’s baby or any kind of sickness, but when it actually happens, it’ll be the greatest test of your life that you wouldnt think twice about, youll just know what to do and how to do it.”

Abortionist claims anyone can do abortions

In an article in LifeNews, a pro-lifer who infiltrated a convention of abortion providers quoted an abortionist saying the following:

“Anyone can do an abortion with training,”

UK abortionist David Baird.

“He advocated training “mid-level professionals” in manual aspiration abortions, using a hand-held suction abortion machine called a manual vacuum aspirator.”

“Undercover Reporter Infiltrates World Abortion Biz Conference” LifeNews OCT 29, 2012

This seems to be a departure from the abortion industry’s propaganda on the dangers of illegal, back alley abortions. If abortion is so safe that anyone can perform one, why would thousands of women die if abortion clinics were shut down?
