Share on FacebookIn a report on live births after abortion by the Eurpean Centre for Law and Justice, one doctor says:
At the guard in the delivery room, a woman was in labor as part of an abortion on medical grounds at 5 months pregnant. The birth was imminent, and the gynecology interns were prepared. The senior gynecologist of the guard who is about to return to her bed, approaches the interns and said in a low voice, but loud enough for me to hear: “If the child is breathing on arrival, you press hard here on the trachea [airway] until it completely stops breathing,” and turning to me: “And you, you did not hear anything.

Former abortion clinic worker Jackie describes the time she spent in the pathology lab, handling the bodies of aborted babies:
“I got selected to move to the pathology lab, and for anyone who doesn’t know what that is, that is the lab in the clinic that basically inventories the body parts of the fetus that comes out of the woman. And, the first part of that job is, as I said, inventorying the parts; and the second also involves inventorying the parts to determine if they are intact enough to be harvested and sold. And then the third part is doing a checklist, such as the head, the arms, the torso, the legs, and you send it to the doctor to let him know that the abortion was complete.
So that’s where I ended up, I trained in that lab three, almost four days before I had a very harsh realization that everything I believed about the abortion industry was wrong. So about three days into it I had had just about as much as my heart, and my soul, and my stomach could stand.”

Share on FacebookA report from the European Centre for Law and Justice has this testimony from L.M., a former anesthetic nurse, about a baby born alive after an abortion. The mother had an abortion because she had AIDS:
Gynecologists convinced [the mother] to abort but the baby was born alive. Midwives simply put it in an empty box, naked in a stainless steel tub, cold, without any care. His mother was conscious during labor and delivery of the baby; she was crying and wanted to see her little one but the doctors decided that this child should die. They did not give the child to the mother to spare her. This baby was viable, he was breathing on his own and cried vigorously. I honestly think it was just left to die of cold … it was horrible…! We were harnessed in our gloves, overshirts, headwear, masks, “overshoes” because we were afraid of getting AIDS, and the baby, naked, abandoned by all, and so vulnerable. He took a long time to stop whining.
I almost picked him up to comfort, warm, and save him, but I did not do anything… They all looked so sure that this was the solution. The whole team was nevertheless extremely uncomfortable. The Obstetrician was the decision maker, seeing that he had medically agreed to perform an abortion, and united the midwives by force. I had a little girl of four months at home and I was afraid for her. Why do they fight to save some premature babies while others are given death without humanity? We do not want to actively kill them but passively do! I stopped anesthesia because I could not stand being obliged to put women to sleep for an abortion on demand or medical abortion.”
Even in 1987, there were steps doctors could take to prevent the baby from contracting AIDS if he was allowed to be born.

Share on FacebookMidwife Mrs. Siv Bertilsson tells her story:
I have worked 36 years as a midwife in maternity and obstetric care. Now there is a reorganization at the women’s clinic, which means that the late-term abortions after week 12 will be performed at the maternity ward. I have during my professional career worked with both gynecology and maternity care. Therefore, I have horrible memories from my time at the gynecology ward where I participated in late-term abortions, most around week 16 where the fetus struggled and tried to breathe for 5-15 minutes. Because there are no rules or regulations on what one should do with a fetus that is struggling for life, you leave the fetus to die by itself in a round bowl or a basin. Horribly inhumane, I think. And this is not an unusual event.’
Approximately 25% in week 16-17 live for a certain time. … I had decided to never ever concern myself with this chore. I am now forced to stop working as a midwife? How should I act? And if I’m forced to continue to bring myself to do this again, what do I do with the fetus when it is alive? I read in the Animal Welfare Act how to kill kittens, puppies or other small animals, and there are clear rules for how the killing should be done in a way that does not cause anxiety or pain to the animal.

“Pretty soon you can imagine legislation prohibiting the washing of hands because thousands of cells are flaked off that could be turned into a stem cell and you can grow a foetus – so you’re killing a person. It’s attacks on women’s rights.”

In reality, biologists understand that there is a crucial difference between skin cells, which are a part of a human organism, sperm cells and egg cells, which are reproductive parts of human organisms, and zygotes, embryos, and fetuses, which are human organisms.
“Traditional ways of classifying catalog animals according to their adult structure. But, as J. T. Bonner (1965) pointed out, this is a very artificial method, because what we consider an individual is usually just a brief slice of its life cycle. When we consider a dog, for instance, we usually picture an adult. But the dog is a “dog” from the moment of fertilization of a dog egg by a dog sperm. It remains a dog even as a senescent dying hound. Therefore, the dog is actually the entire life cycle of the animal, from fertilization through death.”

“Fertilization – the fusion of gametes to produce a new organism – is the culmination of a multitude of intricately regulated cellular processes.”

“Human life begins at fertilization, the process during which a male gamete or sperm (spermatozoon development) unites with a female gamete or oocyte (ovum) to form a single cell called a zygote. This highly specialized, totipotent cell marked the beginning of each of us as a unique individual.” “A zygote is the beginning of a new human being (i.e., an embryo).”

“Dr. Bob Hall, chief neonatologist at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, characterized the practice of permitting deformed or defective newborns to die by withholding treatment and nourishment as a “commonplace” phenomenon.
He estimated that it accounts for around 14% of all deaths occurring in special care nurseries throughout the United States.”

Share on FacebookThe Center for Bioethical Reform quoted the following students whose minds were changed on abortion after seeing graphic photos of aborted babies on their campus:
“I have just changed my mind!” concluded another student who had begun her conversation by saying abortion might be a viable choice for other women.
A male student said, “I had no idea this is what abortion was – they are so tiny – and that is a hand!”
Another student said, “It’s gruesome. I didn’t know how developed it [the baby’s body] is so early.” She went on to say, “People do need to see this; maybe they will make different decisions.””….
Large numbers of students accepted our literature and dialogued with our team. Many were quite open-minded.
In contrast, a pro-abortion professor came out to scream and profanely vent her anger about GAP’s presence. Police intervened and repeatedly directed her to take her complaint to the administrative office.”

Share on FacebookGloria Feldt, then president of Planned Parenthood, compares abortion to segregation while taking about a pro-choice litmus test for judicial nominees:
“The Right has long complained that Democrats and pro-choice Republicans have used Roe as a litmus test for court appointments. Well, Roe’s the law of the land, and because it protects a fundamental human and civil right, it should be a litmus test. There is no way it would be acceptable to put someone on the court who said they were fundamentally opposed to Brown vs. Board of Education, the decision that ended segregation in the schools. Why should we allow someone on the court who would take away a woman’s civil right to have control over her own body? No one who opposes a fundamental right and is opposed to a core constitutional holding – privacy – can be impartial and fair-minded on the bench.”

Is the right to kill this preborn baby really equivalent to the right of African Americans to go to the same schools as white children?
Former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson talks about the grisly efficiency with which abortions were done in the abortion clinic where he worked:
“From 8 in the morning until midnight, 7 days a week, doctors working in 10 operating rooms performed vacuum aspirations on an endless parade of pregnant wombs. In the peak months more than 3,000….Doctors regularly worked 12-hour shifts.”
