“They told me that it wasn’t a baby”

11 weeks

A woman from the website Abortiontv, now down, told the following story:

I had an abortion a couple of years ago to twins. I didn’t know anything and they told me that it wasn’t a baby, there was no beating heart so there was no pain at all. They lied to me. I was 11 weeks to twins. I only did it thinking it was not harmful in any way.

After finding your website and looking it up on you tube I now learn what happens and the truth. I am broken hearted for what I have done to those two precious babies. I will never forgive myself.

I think it’s so important for women to know the truth before going ahead. The clinics lie to you to make you go through it. I was stupid enough to believe them.

I am having trouble with life now realizing what actually happens. I now have a 1 year little girl and she is the love of my life.

I am getting married this year but Every time I look at my daughter I think about those two angels everyday.

I really need help, I am struggling to go through this. I cry myself to sleep every night.

My fianc’e doesn’t know what to do. He was devastated to see the procedure as well and said he wouldn’t have let me go through with it if he knew.

But I just want to say thank you for telling women the truth. I just wish I found this website before I went through it. It would have saved two gorgeous babies lives.

I talk to them everyday. I try to think they are in heaven, but they would hate me so much. I don’t blame them. I wish I could turn back time.

Thank you for doing this for babies sake.

If I’d seen a sonogram, I would’ve chosen life

From one postabortion women:

“I know that my “story” would have ended differently had there been a pregnancy center to go to back in 1971. I know that I would’ve chosen life for my baby had I seen a sonogram, heard a heartbeat, and had more facts.”

Woman goes to pregnancy center, sees baby isn’t ‘piece of tissue’

Jessica Gore, from Texas:

“I went to the sonogram appointment at Burleson Pregnancy Aid Center even though I had already been to Planned Parenthood and thought that abortion was right for me. But when I looked at the sonogram screen, I knew that I had been lied to.

What I saw on the screen was not a ‘piece of tissue’ like Planned Parenthood had told me. The tiny flicker of light, a heartbeat, was my child. I was instantly in love.

I would have been lost without the guidance of the Pregnancy Aid Center. Through their programs I learned how to care for my infant daughter.

I would not be the person I am today if it hadn’t been for the caring people of the Burleson Pregnancy Aid Center and the experiences I’ve had there. Without them, my daughter would not be alive and I cannot imagine my life without her.”

Clinic worker compares abortion to breaking off apples

From an abortion clinic worker, who had an abortion herself:

When I was working as an abortion counselor, every now and then I’d tell a woman struggling with her decision about how apple trees, left to their own devices, overgrow. Too many branches too close together choke off light and air circulation, leaving the entire tree prone to disease. In a particularly fertile season, so much fruit will set that the full-grown weight of it would tear branches. Therefore, the orchard keeper must thin the young fruit, breaking away every other, or every third, hard little undeveloped apple.

My boyfriend said he’d leave me if I didn’t abort

Luana, a postabortion women, tells her story:

“My first abortion was done in Madison, Wisconsin. I was 17 years young and my boyfriend told me if I didn’t have the abortion that he would leave me. I thought I loved him, and I knew I could not have a baby without his help and support. So I did what I was told and went through with the abortion.

When going in for my abortion I was told by the ‘professionals’ that it was only a blob of tissue, and it would be safer and easier to abort than to carry my baby to term. I would later find out this was a lie.

8 week sonogram From my boyfriend forced me to abort.
eight-week-old “blob of tissue”

I remember laying on the cold table with no anesthetic for the pain, staring at the ceiling, wishing I were someplace else. It seemed to last forever and the pain was unbearable. No amount of anesthetic could dull the pain in my heart and mind. The type of abortion I had was the vacuum aspirator method. I could hear by the increased labor of the suction machine what part or limb of my baby was being extracted. Each time I tried to look at the jar with my baby’s remains they would push me back down. To this day I still hear that haunting suction sound.”

Planned Parenthood lies about adoption and confidentiality

Author Phoebe Lee tells the following story from a series of interviews she did:

“In one case, a 19-year-old asked a Planned Parenthood counselor for adoption options. According to her, they could not provide her with adoption assistance. The reasons for this are unknown. They told her she could go to the local health department or children’s services to learn about such options, but “her privacy may not be guaranteed.” The girl chose to abort.”

According to the interview, the representative from the Planned Parenthood office in question indicated that most health departments and children’s services offices would not guarantee the anonymity of the birth mother. Research showed this to be untrue.

Abortion patient was told her unborn baby was a “tumor”

From one woman who had an abortion:

“I asked someone what I had inside me. They told me it was pretty much like a tumor, and honestly that is what I wanted to hear,” she said. She had the abortion, and years later at college she saw some of her friends’ ultrasound pictures.

“I just remember thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, that isn’t a tumor,’ ” she said. She isn’t sure if she would have taken the option to have an ultrasound or would have wanted to hear that her fetus may have felt pain. But having that information, whether she wanted it or not, would have made her more aware of what she was doing and might have led to a decision to not abort, she said.

“I did not want to have an abortion. I would have welcomed information to convince me out of it. But they told me what I wanted to hear,” she said. “I would have liked the respect of sitting me down and giving me accurate information, and then making my decision…. That child would have been 16 years old this year.”

It’s “a clump of cells” says clinic worker

Jean Samuels reveals what an abortion clinic counselor told her:

“When I arrived at the clinic, the nurse told me not to worry about anything. “You’re only six weeks along, so I want you to know we’re talking about a clump of cells, not a baby.”

Knowing that it wasn’t really a baby I was carrying eased my mind, and I had no trouble agreeing to the procedure.”

Abortion clinic workers instructed on words to use – avoid “baby”

From a woman who interviewed abortion clinic workers at several clinics described her observation:

“… A good deal of time was devoted to “word sensitization” – the need to choose one’s words with extraordinary care when discussing the abortion procedure with clients.… The most interesting problem was how to refer to the product of the abortion. Although it was acknowledged that many clients would refer to this as the “baby,” or the “pregnancy,” new counselors were, not surprisingly, urged not to use these charged terms, but instead to use the more neutral, though admittedly more awkward, “product of conception” or “tissue.”

Planned Parenthood and adoption advice

A prolife woman did an experiment. She called Planned Parenthood clinics and asked for information about adoption. This is what she found:

“I contacted six Planned Parenthood offices located in towns or cities with a population of 50,000 or more, all within a 250 mile radius. All gave me similar information. None of the Planned Parenthood representatives in any of these offices could offer me concrete assistance in my adoption request. Each representative told me I could contact children’s services or I could make an appointment to visit their Planned Parenthood office to receive information on all my options. In one city, the representative said if I visited their office and decided on adoption, she would give me a number to call for discussing adoption choices. When I asked for the name and number on the phone, the woman indicated I would have to schedule an appointment, insisting I needed to sit down with someone to review the options.… If Planned Parenthood claims its greatest concern is family planning and ensuring a loving home for all children, then why could they provide the only with the same assistance I could have just as easily found looking in the Yellow Pages?”
