Journal Obstetrics and Gynecology describes aborted baby as debris

Pro-Life author William Brennan points out:

“Obstetrics and Gynecology published an article in which the products of a suction abortion were described as “debris from the conceptus’” which “passes visibly into the glass container, either whole or piecemeal.” The authors included a chart estimating the “amount of debris withdrawn” according to length of pregnancy.

He quotes from Dorothea Kerslake and Donn Casey “Abortion Induced by Means of Uterine Aspirator” Obstetrics and Gynecology 30 (July 1967): 37, 41

Father pressures 15-year-old into abortion

A pro-life author tells the story of a 15 year old girl who was forced to have an abortion by her father:

“After the very emotional telling her parents experience, she found herself caught between a mom who wanted to send her to a pregnancy home with adoption as the end result and a father who wanted to hide the embarrassing problem with a simple abortion. Dad put his foot down and took her to what he called a “special doctor” who took care of the problem.

But to this girl, it was not a problem to be dealt with or given away. It was a baby that was ripped from her heart and womb. With an exchange of money for a service, her dad was free of the embarrassing problem. He got back to his drinking, and she was left emotionally scarred. In secret, she blamed herself and spent many hours and nights crying over the loss of her baby. To this day she wonders if her dad had heard the beating heart of his unborn grandchild, would it have made a difference?”

Woman regrets aborting fatally ill baby

Kathy was pregnant with a baby who was not expected to live, and she had an abortion. Later, she deeply regretted it. She says:

“I should have allowed my baby to go to full-term and given birth to it and held her in my arms so that I could tell her that I loved her. I should have believed in her. I didn’t. I should’ve allowed her to go in her own time. I could then have known that I did the best I could for her. In this way I didn’t even give her a funeral. I don’t even know what happened to her.”

Innocent comment prompts abortion worker to quit

Julie worked in an abortion clinic, and saw the torn apart bodies of aborted babies daily. One day, an acquaintance, who did not know she worked at an abortion clinic, asked her a question that hit her hard. The acquaintance mistakenly thought she helped deliver babies.  From The American Feminist:

“Shortly before making the decision to leave, Julie experienced an internal jolt from a casual comment. The mother of a man she was dating, not knowing much about her job, once said, “It must be so neat to be around all those babies!… After Julie left the clinic, she spent years working with preemies and loved it.”

Many abortion workers hide what they do, due to stigma, or at least refrain from talking about their jobs to people they do not know well.

Abortionist refuses to tell woman the sex of her baby

A woman asked her abortionist whether the baby was a boy or a girl:

“I always wondered, you know. I asked if it was a boy or a girl. He said, ‘Why would you want to know?’ He wouldn’t tell me if they could know. But he said, ‘Why would you want to know? It doesn’t make a difference.’ So it was a shut-down question. The feeling was, ‘You don’t need to know.’

Pro-abortion author makes claims that can’t be proven

Pro-choice author and president of Catholics for Choice Frances Kissling admits that another pro-choicer made claims that could not be verified. Kissling makes reference to this statement in a pro-abortion article:

“The most frequent circumstances that lead to late abortion–which account for less than one percent of all abortions in the country–include fetal anomalies, in which a pregnancy is desired, but complications develop that endanger the mother or the potential life of the fetus. Fetuses are sometimes given devastating diagnoses, such as a one-year life expectancy in excruciating pain, creating an emotional and financial strain on the parents and other children in the family.

Young women and girls who are victims of sexual abuse sometimes don’t recognize their own pregnancy–or may feel too ashamed to tell others–before the second or third trimester. For other women the process of finding a provider, securing travel, getting time off work, and accumulating the necessary funds can take several months, by which time the pregnancy is in its later stages.”

This paragraph, in an article about late-term abortion written by Catherine Epstein has no evidence to back it up. As Frances Kissling says:

“Some of it is the desire of an advocate to put the best foot forward but in my opinion strays from a rigorous approach to the “facts.” We do not know if there are more late abortions due to severe fetal abnormality or to denial and fear. We have no idea if denial by young women is the result of sexual abuse, none whatsoever. Claiming that lack of funding for a first trimester abortion is resolved with finding six times more money later in the pregnancy is highly speculative.

Because I am prochoice I give Catherine Epstein some latitude. Some of what she speculates is reasonable. Some of it is the desire of an advocate to put the best foot forward but in my opinion strays from a rigorous approach to the “facts.” We do not know if there are more late abortions due to severe fetal abnormality or to denial and fear. We have no idea if denial by young women is the result of sexual abuse, none whatsoever. Claiming that lack of funding for a first trimester abortion is resolved with finding six times more money later in the pregnancy is highly speculative. The average cost of first trimester abortion is just under $500. On the website of one provider of second trimester abortions, a 24 week abortion is $3000. Abortions after that time are higher in price. Do we really think women who do not have the money for a first trimester abortion find the larger amount needed for a later procedure in any significant numbers?”

Abortionist claims that concentration camps are pro-life

Abortionist Dr. Malcolm Potts claimed:

The logic that set up the concentration camps was “ferociously anti-abortion.”

Woman finds her abortion “degrading”

A woman who had an abortion said:

“The worst part of the entire abortion was the degradation that went with it. I simply couldn’t handle the total secrecy. It was so degrading.”

Woman sobs uncontrollably at crisis pregnancy center

The book Thank You for Saving My Life tells the tragic story of a pregnant young woman named Maddie, who was on her way to a crisis pregnancy center when her mother called:

“When she reached the parking lot, her cell phone rang. She saw it was her mother, so she answered it.

“You’ll make a terrible mother! You’ll ruin the life of the child, so you might just as well terminate the life now!” Her mother yelled into the phone…

Confused and now even more scared, she didn’t know what to do. She put her car in reverse and headed toward the Planned Parenthood office…

[S]he filled out the papers for the WebCam doctor to review. …The questionnaire asked if she was sure about her decision and Maddie answered, “I don’t know.” But that day the doctor did inquire about her “I don’t know” answer. He just told her to go ahead and push the button to receive the two pills needed to terminate the pregnancy. Maddie took the first pill and drove home.”

After the abortion:

“Six months later, Maddie called the center crying hysterically. No one could even understand her on the phone, she was crying so hard. We encouraged her to come in to the center.

Maggie sat in my office and cried for an hour. The only thing I was able to get out of her was that she had had an abortion. She never looked up. She just cried a heart wrenching cry…

The next two appointments were much like the first time we met. Maddie hung her head and cried the whole hour.”

She eventually found healing through counseling at the crisis pregnancy center

Abortionist gives reasons late term abortions are done

Dr. David Grundmann, the medical director for Planned Parenthood of Australia, wrote a paper on partial birth abortions where he stated the reasons why he performed them. The paper was titled “Abortion After Twenty Weeks in Clinical Practice: Practical, Ethical and Legal Issues.” From National Right to Life:

Dr. Grundmann wrote that in Australia, late-second-trimester abortion is available “in many major hospitals, in most capital cities and large provincial centres” in cases of “lethal fetal abnormalities” or “gross fetal abnormalities,” or “risk to maternal life,” including “psychotic/suicidal behavior.” However, Dr. Grundmann said, his Planned Parenthood clinic also offers the procedure after 20 weeks for women who fall into five additional “categories”: (1) “minor or doubtful fetal abnormalities,” (2) “extreme maternal immaturity i.e. girls in the 11 to 14 year age group,” (3) women “who do not know they are pregnant,” for example because of amenorrhea [irregular menstruation] “in women who are very active such as athletes or those under extreme forms of stress i.e. exam stress, relationship breakup…,” (4) “intellectually impaired women, who are unaware of basic biology…,” (5) “major life crises or major changes in socio-economic circumstances. The most common example of this is a planned or wanted pregnancy followed by the sudden death or desertion of the partner who is in all probability the bread winner.”
