Abortion Clinic Founder Admits That Abortion Terminates a Life

“In the beginning they were calling it a baby. We were saying it was only blood and tissue. Let’s agree this is a life form, a potential life; you’re terminating it. You don’t have to argue that abortion stops a beating heart. It does.” She adds, “I can’t say it’s just like an appendectomy. It isn’t. It’s a very powerful and loaded decision.”

Merle Hoffman, who founded Choices, a Queens, N.Y., abortion clinic.

There Are Two Lives Involved

“…I wanted to express calmly, eloquently, that pro-choice people understand that there are two lives involved in an abortion — one born (the pregnant woman) and one not (the fetus) — but that the born person must be allowed to decide what is right….”

Anne Lamott, “The Rights of the Born”, Los Angeles Times (Feb. 10,2006)

A Fetus Is a Human Being, Says Pro-Choice Author

From legal abortion advocate David Boonan:

“Perhaps the most straightforward relation between you and me on the one hand and every human fetus from conception onward on the other is this: all are living members of the same species, Homo sapiens. A human fetus, after all, is simply a human being at a very early stage in her his or her development.”

Dr. Alan Guttmacher on the Beginning of Life

“A facet that makes the obstetrician’s burden unique in the whole field of medicine is his double obligation; he simultaneously cares for two patients, the mother and the infant…The essential step in the initiation of life is by fertilization, the penetration of the ovum by a spermatozoan and the fusion of the two cells into a single cell.”

Dr. Alan Guttmacher, ardent proponent of abortion, in his book Pregnancy and Birth: A Book for Expectant Parents New American Library; Revised Ed edition (January 1, 1962) He was the president of Planned Parenthood and fought to make and keep abortion legal

Pro-Choice Author Contemplates Sonogram

David Noonin, in his book, A Defense of Abortion, says the following:

“In the top drawer of my desk, I keep [a picture of my son]. This picture was taken on September 7, 1993, 24 weeks before he was born. The sonogram image is murky, but it reveals clear enough a small head tilted back slightly, and an arm raised up and bent, with the hand pointing back toward the face and the thumb extended out toward the mouth. There is no doubt in my mind that this picture, too, shows [my son] at a very early stage in his physical development. And there is no question that the position I defend in this book entails that it would have been morally permissible to end his life at this point.”

The Eradication of Human Life

Author Jason Deparle says:

“In fact, we need neither The Silent Scream nor a degree in fetal physiology to tell us what we already know: that abortion is the eradication of human life and should be avoided whenever possible. Should it be legal? Yes, since the alternatives are worse.”

Jason Deparle, “Beyond the Legal Right; Why Liberals and Feminists Don’t like to Talk about the Morality of Abortion,” Washington Monthly Apr. 1989

Abortion Stops a Life

Pro-Choice activist Miriam Claire wrote a book in which she interviewed abortion providers and women who had had abortions. She said of the providers:

“Physicians are dedicated to the preservation of life. Abortion presents an inherent conflict because it involves stopping a life from developing.”

Abortion Counselors Must Help Women Kill

Pro-choice author HG Whittington, M.D. wrote the following about abortion counseling:

“The[ abortion] counselor must help the applicant face a painful existential dilemma; whether to kill one nascent human being in order to enhance the quality of life of another person… society legalizes abortion to enhance the quality of human life.”

This quote appears in Whittington’s essay “The Role of the Counselor in Abortion” Sarah LeWit , editor. “Abortion Techniques and Services: Proceedings of the Conference,” New York, New York; June 3-5, 1971, Amsterdam: excerpta medica. 1972.

I Knew It Was a Life

Creator of “The Abortion Diaries” and pro-choice activist Penny Lane is quoted saying, in an article in Salon Magazine:

“Most of the abortions in America are about convenience. People need to accept abortion for what it is: a valid part of the reproductive spectrum. I want it to be seen as normal; if 1.3 million women in this country have one every year, it’s gotta be normal.”

But later in the same article she says:

“I remember feeling conflicted about the magic of being pregnant. I felt electricity running through my body. Not for a minute did I not think of it as a life. I knew it was a baby.”
