Student Nurse gets pregnant, abortion workers urge abortion

British student nurse Amy Quinn worked in a hospital that did abortions for part of her training. She got pregnant while working there and says:

Falling pregnant myself while unmarried and not having finished training, while working on the ward, was predictably somewhat embarrassing. The trained staff were inquisitive and aghast, and there were hints that an abortion would be the logical step to take. One houseman who was friendly and whose wife was pregnant suggested he help me get “fixed up” so that I could finish my training without interruption. Presumably his expected baby was a loved individual, and mine was simply a barely-differentiated lump of lifeless cells. My only supporter on the ward, indeed the only person who didn’t see me as positively weird, was a first-year student nurse who had been adopted- she said she was glad I wasn’t having an abortion, because if her mother had not taken the same course, she wouldn’t be here now. Judy is a good example of the waste of life with abortion.”

Woman describes her abortion as “awful”

Karen, 24, who had an abortion:

“The abortion was awful physically. I couldn’t stop shaking… it was a bad experience – invading… The most awful part of it is you hear it.…. I had no counseling. I wish I had some.

Afterward, I was really sad and shocked and I didn’t know how to deal with it. My dad and I went and lit a candle when the child would have been 1-year-old. It tears up your body. It is a shock your system and to your psyche.”

She went on to have a son, another abortion, and put a baby up for adoption.

Former US Surgeon General: 45 of 607 babies were born alive

Former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, M.D., tells of live births after abortions:

“Although technically the result of legal abortion, each foetus expelled alive because of prostaglandin lives for several hours…One series of 607 second trimester abortions from Mt. Sinai Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut, resulted in 45 live births including one set of twins. None of the babies survived more than 13 hours.”

Abortionist feels “revulsion” for some women who abort

Abortionist SA Davies describes how he feels about women who come in for abortions:

“I admit that although I did feel repulsion for certain characters who presented themselves before doctors requesting abortions, I soon realized that judgement is an extremely delicate business. Many of the “young girls” who came for termination on a first-time basis were frightened and very repentant and quite obviously regretted everything related to the experience of carrying a child. On the other hand, young girls appearing for second abortions, some undoubtedly had little or no responsibility in any form, let alone any sensitivity related to the life of their foetus.”

Mary Kenny Abortion: The Whole Story (London: Quartet Books, 1986)

It is interesting that this abortion worker feels women should have “sensitivity” to the life of their babies when he is killing them.

Abortion workers told lies about pro-lifers

Jewels Green, former abortion clinic worker turned pro-lifer, wrote about the way other clinic workers talked about the people in the pro-life movement:

I was told that pro-lifers cared nothing about women or families or children—only babies, and only unborn babies at that. I was told story after story about how this pro-life group or that crisis pregnancy center lied to women to “trick” them into staying pregnant and then would abandon them…. The most vivid (tall) tale I remember was of some unnamed group who extended financial assistance, prenatal care, and even drove a young mother to the hospital while she was in labor only to drop off a box of diapers the next day and refuse to return her calls after that….This is pro-abortion propaganda.

Since coming over to the side of life, I have been thrilled to confirm that these stories are baseless lies… the pro-abortion side continues to propagate these blatant untruths in spite of real evidence to the contrary…..

Many crisis pregnancy centers don’t just do pregnancy tests but also offer relationship counseling, parenting workshops, family counseling, babysitting co-ops, post-abortion support, and much more—for FREE—and without hundreds of millions of dollars from American taxpayers.

Woman claims her preborn baby told her it was okay to abort

A 40-year-old woman named Claudia explained how her preborn baby communicated with her from the womb and told her having an abortion was okay:

“I got into the car and sat there and [the baby] spoke to me. She said, “I am looking forward to having you be my mother but I want you to know this is your decision and whatever decision you make is perfectly fine with me. If you choose not to continue this pregnancy I will be waiting.” I sat in the car and cried for about an hour, feeling very grateful and very sad at the same time.”

After her abortion, she says:

“About a month later I participated in counseling with my ministers. In my practice we channel our higher selves and the message that I received during this counseling was very similar to the reassurance that my child Rose had given me in the car. Ever since then I have felt a full heart relationship with this being…the relationship has given me great comfort and has been a source of joy for me…

I also believe that souls choose to be born or to live a certain amount of time in the womb and then depart, or they choose to be aborted… Given my agreement with my child, who is eternal, I did nothing other than delay her return to the earth by agreement with her.”

Note: The book this quote appeared in was written by a Planned Parenthood worker who counseled women in abortion clinics. The book was written as a guide for women who were considering abortion.

Study shows abortion doesn’t improve mental illness

Before abortion was legalized in the United States, women could get permission for an abortion by going to a psychiatrist and proving they were mentally ill and would be a adversely affected by the pregnancy. A study done soon after abortion’s legalization however, shows:

“…it would appear that the more serious the psychiatric diagnosis: the less beneficial was the abortion…As might be expected chronic characterological neurotic or psychotic conditions are not solved by abortion, which is in essence a form of environmental manipulation.”

British student nurse on working in abortion hospital

A British student nurse named Amy Quinn describes a rotation at a hospital that did abortions:

“While a third-year student nurse at a London teaching hospital, I was sent to work on a gynae ward. Entering the sluice on my first shift I was surprised, not to say horrified, to see a dead foetus of about 14 or 15 weeks’ gestation in a plastic bowl, and this set off the tone of my 13 weeks on the ward. The staff were hearty but callow; whether they were attracted to the job because of these traits or they resulted from it, I just don’t know. It is unnecessary to expound on the cruelty of the juxtaposition of girls having “terminations” and those who have lost wanted babies or who are dying from diseases to their reproductive organs, which may have been useless to them, but it never ceased to be distasteful. Likewise, it was an unhappy experience to meet friendly, jolly girls of my own age, who put finishing a secretarial course or not ruining their social life above the lives of their expected children.”

Woman walking into abortion clinic meets pro-lifers, chooses life

Suzan, a British woman, told her story. She was pregnant and already had three children. She didn” think she could cope with another, and she scheduled an abortion. But she met pro-lifers on the way in:

“When I got there [pro-life protesters from the group Abort 67 ] gave me information about abortions…

They had some leaflets about abortions and they started talking to me. They had pictures of a foetus at eight weeks and they had pictures of aborted babies…..

8 week preborn baby
8 week preborn baby

I was really scared. I told them I had three kids already and I didn’t need this baby but they told me I didn’t have to go through with the termination…..

They took me to a coffee shop, they bought me tea and I said I would go home and try to think about it.

I tried not to listen to them, but they were praying for me and I was crying and shaking.

The way they talked to me gave me faith and their encouragement [and] made me decide to keep the baby.

I promised them I’d go to the doctor in a few days. They promised to come with me.

They kept in touch and came to my home to encourage me. They kept checking I was ok. That kept me going.

Now I thank God I didn’t pass through that process. At eight weeks you can really see the leg is already formed, the head, the face.

Then when I finally saw my daughter, I thought, ‘How could I have wanted to terminate this baby?’

She has given me joy and peace in my family. She has made me and my partner stronger.

The campaigners have also helped me by providing clothes for the baby.

They don’t pressure you outside the clinics if you don’t want to listen. They’re just giving their opinion.

They should be allowed to do it because some people will change their minds. If I didn’t listen to them, I would have regretted it all my life….

I want people to have the happiness and peace that I have.

My daughter Miracle is now eight months and two weeks old. She’s standing, walking around the table on her own. She’s really growing fast…. I thank God I didn’t do it.”

Woman with German measles refuses abortion, has healthy baby

Joanne Dieleman, a Canadian pro-lifer, was pregnant when she contracted German measles. A book tells her story:

“In 1970, Joanne faced a surprising test for what it is to be pro-life. While expecting her fifth child, she contracted German measles. A Dutch midwife, she understood too well the implications; so she went to her female physician who ordered her to hospital the next day.

Expecting a battery of tests, Joanne discovered she was scheduled for an abortion. She walked out. Returning to her physician, she cunningly asked, “Will we be able to see if the baby is handicapped when he or she is born?”

The physician answered a reassuring, “Yes.”

So Joanne suggested “Well, let’s wait then until after the birth to kill him or her.”

Abruptly the discussion ended. Later, her baby, Albert, was born healthy and normal. He is now 18 and six foot three.”
