Abortion supporter compares babies to mold and weeds

Patricia Beninato, founder of the now defunct site Imnotsorry.net, where women wrote positive stories about their abortions, said:

Yes, a fetus is alive. But weeds are life and mold is life and bugs are life and we destroy those on a regular basis. Pro-lifers want to give the impression that abortion is someone ripping a full-term baby out of a woman’s womb and dashing its brains out against the nearest wall, when in actuality the average abortion-nearly 90 percent-is done within the first trimester.

Lynn Vincent “Victims of their own choice” World Magazine April 09, 20

Even in the first trimester, at 10 weeks, the baby is far from being mold. He or she is a fully developed child.

Even at the average time most abortions are done, the embryo is far more developed than Beninato acknowledges.

This is what is left behind in the average abortion at 7 weeks:

Birth is “trivial event” in human development

In the article “Fetal Psychology” in Psychology Today, a researcher explains how the birth process is only a minor event in the life history of an individual, as no new brain development occurs in the baby as he or she travels down the birth canal.

Birth may be a grand occasion, says the Johns Hopkins University psychologist [Janet DiPietro], but “it is a trivial event in development. Nothing neurologically interesting happens.”

Abortionist comments on “beautiful” abortion

An abortionist admires the “beauty” of the placenta of a baby he just aborted:

Nothing could be seen of the embryo, but the doctor extracted a tiny, white, frond-like substance which floated in the water in a small plastic container no larger than a mustard pot. This was the placenta. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” said Dr. Stephens, holding it up to the light.”

In this case, the baby was so young that the suction machine reduced her to unrecognizable shreds.

I wanted help but the pro-lifers called me a murderer

Postabortion woman Holly Lewis talked about her abortion:

“Planned Parenthood thought it was best for me to have an abortion so I could go on with my life and not embarrass my family.

I scheduled the abortion, and I remember how cold everyone was.

“Just bring $300 in cash or cashier’s check.”

The day I walked into the clinic, a pro-life group was picketing outside. I prayed one of them would stop me and say everything would be okay, and that they would help me with the baby. Instead they called me a murderer….And afterwards when I came out they were still yelling at me. No one asked, “Can I help you?”

After that my whole life went downhill.… I cut myself off from all my friends and turned away from God. I started to have sexual relationships with every man I met. Then I moved on to married men. I didn’t think they or anyone had the right to have a happy, respectful relationship. I was caught for shoplifting and spent the night in jail. I used drugs and alcohol.”

Eventually, she found healing from her abortion.

The saddest aspect of this story is that abortion protestors/sidewalk counselors could have reached her and helped her choose life, but they called her a murderer instead.

Doctors feel revulsion about abortions

Dr. Ernie Young, a Stanford University School of Medicine, where they specialize in caring for very premature babies. He says some doctors feel revulsion ab0ut abortions:

“Gynecologists are sensitive individuals and many of them are beginning to feel a revulsion about abortion procedures. And abortionists are being somewhat looked down upon in the medical profession. And the major reason for this is the astonishing progress being made in being able to see the unborn child moving about in the mother’s body.”

Former abortion worker describes gossip and jealousy

A former abortion clinic worker quoted by Abby Johnson says:

“We’ve all had them: one of those days, the type of day that causes us to seek refuge in the safety of our homes, curl up in a chair with our fuzzy blankets, and pretend that tomorrow will never come; that we won’t have to deal with a coworker’s passive aggressive behavior, hear the latest chapter in the never-ending drama of so-and-so’s life, or endure another lecture from an unreasonable and out of touch supervisor.

During my years at the abortion clinic, I had more than my share of those days, for all of the aforementioned reasons and more… Gossip, slander, jealousy, and general cattiness were simply par for the course.”

Abby Johnson The Walls Are Talking: Former Abortion Clinic Workers Tell Their Stories (San Francisco, CA: Ignatius Press, 2016) 115

Perhaps the pressure of seeing aborted babies every day causes clinic workers to be stressed and irritable.

Teen cried while her baby died in abortion

A teen cried while she was having an abortion:

I’m sixteen and I recently had an abortion. I automatically fell in love with my baby – but when we told our parents our happiness soon faded. When I found out that I actually had an appointment to let someone kill my child I couldn’t believe my mom couldn’t understand what I was going through. The whole time the doctor did the abortion I was crying. I couldn’t believe my baby was dying. I don’t even want to sleep at night because I have nightmares and replay the whole thing over and over in my head.

Postabortion father suffers “guilt” and “regret”

From a man who fathered two babies that were aborted::

“I have twice experienced having pregnancies terminated for which I have been responsible.… I have felt since a terrific sense of guilt and regret. The first abortion occurred with a woman with whom I lived and loved very much. It was her decision to have the abortion, my regret is that I didn’t try to stop her. The most vivid part was when she came back from hospital producing milk and I had this awful feeling that it was my baby’s milk, and I felt sorry for the dead baby whose termination I had done so little to prevent. Needless to say, the relationship ended in appalling and painful circumstances. We felt we had been complicit in a crime. The second abortion occurred recently with a girl with whom I’ve had only a casual relationship…

Surely abortion is unnatural and a convenient gesture to selfish materialism, but it’s the individual choice and wholly the woman’s decision.”

The New York Times on babies born alive after abortions in China

The New York Times covered the story of women forced to abort in China:

“… Vigilantes abducted pregnant women on the streets and hauled them off, sometimes handcuffed or trussed, to abortion clinics. Other women, he said, were locked in detention cells or hauled before mass rallies and harangued into consenting to abortions. The reporter referred to “aborted” babies which were actually crying when they were born.”
