Pro-abortion activists make their point with talking embryo
A pro-abortion website that complains about the lack of availability of the abortion pill (RU-486) uses a cartoon of an (apparently suicidal) talking embryo:
The website, entitled “RU-4Choice? : Ethical Abortion” can be found here
Incidentally, most babies aborted in the United States are far more developed than the picture implies

Karen Stamm, pro-choice activist:
“[W] e must be aware that the [abortion] laws have not been changed for [women’s] benefit, but so the government can have control over the population.”

Pro-choice author Sarah Kliff , who often writes in support of late-term abortions, witnessed an early suction abortion. She saw the blood and tissue run down the tube, but did not look at the aborted remains closely, or she would’ve seen torn off arms and legs.
She describes the reactions of her pro-choice friends when she told them she had witnessed an abortion:
When I returned from Omaha, friends and colleagues wanted to know if I had “done it.” When I said I had, their reactions surprised me. Friends who supported legal abortion bristled slightly when I told them where I’d been and what I’d watched… my experience (among an admittedly small, largely pro-choice sample set) found a general discomfort when confronted with abortion as a physical reality, not a political idea. Americans may support abortion rights, but even 40 years after Roe, we don’t talk about it like other medical procedures.

Pro-choice author, on pictures of babies in the womb:
“Many women feel deprived by the fact that such images were not in circulation at the time when they aborted, others find that fact to be a source of relief.”

Abortion as an act of love
Merle Hoffman, former abortion clinic owner and founder:
In a very profound sense, the truth is that Abortion, the act of choosing whether or not to have a child, is [in] and of itself, a mother’s act.
Abortion is so often an act of love, love for oneself, one’s family, for the children one has.

21 weeks, after abortion. Is this an act of love?
Abortion justified to save “wounded” child
Pro-Choice writer Ginette Paris:
“The majority of women who abort do so because they know that the unwelcome child, born of constraint and misfortune, will be wounded in some unacceptable way. As Artemis may kill a wounded animal rather than allow it to limp along miserably, so a mother wishes to spare the child a painful destiny. There is nothing more cruel than the suffering of children, and mothers know this better than anyone. It is not immoral to choose abortion; it is simply another kind of morality, a pagan one.”
Ginette Paris The Sacrament of Abortion (Dallas, Texas: Spring Publications Inc., 1992) 56

Would it make sense to kill this baby to prevent her from suffering?

Share on FacebookKristen Luker on using abortion as birth control
Pro-Choice author Kristen Luker on abortion for reasons of birth control:
“… Contraception may not be… The least costly and most rational method of fertility control for all women at all times.… The reality of the situation is that the costs associated with contraception are often so high that abortion becomes de facto the only acceptable method of fertility control for many women.”
Kristen Luker, Taking Chances: Abortion and the Decision Not to Contraceptive (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1975)
