When a woman came to an abortion clinic contemplating having her baby killed, she expressed her concerns about her relationship with God. A very religious woman, she was worried that God would disapprove of her abortion. She had conflicts in her relationship with her partner, who was very much against the abortion. She also had issues with her career – she wanted to be a teacher, and the baby would stand in the way of her advancement. According to the counselor:

“We talked a great deal about her religious beliefs and her relationship with God. I – no biblical scholar – reminded her of the biblical passage about how nothing “will be able to separate us from the love of God.” (Romans 8, it turns out.) Finally, she sat up straighter and said, “God is still with me, I know that! I’m not going to let anyone convince me otherwise!”

She went through with her abortion.

Pro-choice activist Nora Johnson:

“Perhaps the major problem of pro-choice public relations is that the image of this procedure we so believe in – of someone scraping or vacuuming out a woman’s insides, digging between her legs into her tender sexual passage, blood, gooey tissue, injured fetus all falling out – is aesthetically a disaster. Are we really pro- that ?

Nora Johnson, “Whose Life Is It?”, “Hers” column, the New York Times Magazine, January 23, 1994 quoted in Frederica Mathews-Green. Real Choices: Offering Practical, Life-Affirming Alternatives to Abortion (Sisters, Oregon: Multnomah Books, 1994)

To see which is talking about, view these pictures of an actual abortion in progress.

From pro-choice leader Gloria Feldt:

“I never call these people “pro-life,” because they aren’t. We who are pro-choice are far more pro-life in the final analysis.”

From pro-choice author Patricia Lunneborg:

“If it is a second, third, or fourth abortion, the reason “I don’t want a baby at the moment” is no less valid. If you are not comfortable with the idea of multiple abortions, the old adage of walking in someone else’s shoes comes to mind.”

Patricia Lunneborg Abortion: A Positive Decision (Westport, Connecticut: Bergin & Garvey, 1992) quoted in Tamara L Roleff. Abortion: Opposing Viewpoints (San Diego, Greenhaven Press, 1997) 106

Over 40% of all abortions are performed on women who already had a previous abortion. For more information on repeat abortions, go here.

In a brief submitted by the American Civil Liberties Union, where the ACLU argued in favor of doctors who wanted to remove the organs of an infant with anencephaly while the child was still alive:

“there is absolutely no morally significant change in the fetus between the moments immediately preceding and following birth.”

Quoted in Paul Greenberg, “the Power of a Cartoon,” National Right to Life News, December 13, 1994: 18

This is, of course, would pro-lifers have been arguing all along.

Pro-choice author Naomi Wolf, who readily admits that abortion takes a life, discusses how abortionists have “blood on their hands.” She says:

“This is the blood that the doctors and clinic workers often see clearly, and that they heroically rinse and cause to flow and rinse again. And they take all of our sins, the pro-choice as well as the pro-life among us, upon themselves.”

Naomi Wolf, “Our Bodies, Our Souls: Rethinking Abortion Rhetoric” New Republic, October 16, 1995, 35. Read complete article here.

A number of pro-choice activists have admitted that abortion takes a life. Read some of these quotes here.

And many abortionists have also admitted that they kill babies.

Pro-Choice activist Anne Fuderi has written a number of articles supporting legalized abortion. However, she says:

“I accept that abortion stops a beating heart and I accept that abortion ends a potential human life, even in the very earliest weeks of pregnancy.”

Anne Fuderi “Abortion: How Late Is Too Late?” Spiked November 28, 2011

Does abortion and only a “potential” life? These medical textbooks and scientists claim that life begins at conception, which means that an actual life and not a potential life is what is ended in an abortion.

A number of abortionists have also admitted that the abortions they perform take human lives.

Glanville Williams, pro-choice activist in Britain:

“Many doctors attempt to avoid what they consider to be the unsavory connotations of the word “abortion” by speaking instead of the terms of “termination of pregnancy.”

Glanville Williams, the Sanctity of Life and the Criminal Law, the 1956 James S Carpenter Lectures at Columbia Law School (New York: Knopf, 1957) 147

There are the euphemisms used by the pro-choice movement – products of conception, fetal tissue, uterine contents, developing pregnancy – all words to use to describe the unborn baby. If you go to website of an abortion clinic, you will very seldom see the word fetus and definitely won’t see the word baby.

Psychologist Robert Lifton, in his book about Nazi doctors at the camps

“The language used gave Nazi doctors a discourse in which killing is no longer killing; and need not be experienced, or even perceived as killing.”

Robert J Lifton, the Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide (New York: basic books, 1986) 445

Pro-choice groups have to work against science, because science teaches that life begins at conception.  This pro-choice activist makes a case that science is irrelevant.

“Medical science is irrelevant to the question of when a fetus becomes a human being — that matter is a legal and philosophical one, not a medical one.”

Shannon Dea, co-president of Planned Parenthood Waterloo Region.
