Most doctors performing abortions are not OB/GYN’s

This quote reveals that the majority of abortion providers are not OB/GYN’s, which makes you wonder about their training and competence.

“Most abortions in the United States today are performed by general practitioners. Articles in medical journals have noted that fewer and fewer abortions are performed by obstetrical/gynecological personnel, in many instances because they are not trained or because they fear the violence in certain areas of the country that might result.”

Corinne J Naden Abortion (Tarrytown, New York: Marshall Cavendish Corporation, 2008) 86

The reasons the book gives for few Ob/Gyns doing abortions (basically it’s written from a pro-choice standpoint) are that it’s violence and lack of training that causes them not to perform abortions – but if there is a lack of training for OB/GYN’s, who are going to inthe specialty, what training is there for doctors studying in a different fields? And we know that stigma and the distasteful aspect of the work also contribute to doctors not wanting to perform abortions.

New York Times write about dangerous abortion clinics

The New York Times, commenting on dangerous and poorly run abortion clinics in New York:

“No one knows how many such fly-by-night surgeries there are in New York City or how many abortions they produce. But law enforcement officials and medical experts say dozens of these clinics are believed to be tucked away behind storefronts and in more ordinary looking doctors’ offices and they are believed responsible for scores or even hundreds of illegal or incompetent abortions annually.”

Disabled woman: I would have a baby like myself

Laura Hershey is severely disabled from a rare neuromuscular condition. She says:

“My life of disability has not been easy or carefree. But in measuring the quality of my life, other factors – education, friends, and meaningful work, for example – have been decisive.

If I were asked for an opinion on whether to bring a child into the world, knowing she would have the same limitations and opportunities I have had, I would not hesitate to say, “Yes.”

Laura Hershey, Ms, July/August 1994

Abortion “kills a human life” but is a “moral choice”

Pro-choicer Kathleen Quinn:

“Even though it kills a human life, abortion is, in fact, the moral choice to make when would-be mothers ascertain that their present circumstances do not enable them to raise a would-be child responsibly.”

Kathleen Quinn, Mother Jones, November/December 1993

Worst Bro-Choice Tweets

The early feminists (Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton etc) believed that abortion was a way that men took advantage of women, using them for sex. Today’s pro-life feminists say much the same thing- that abortion allows men to have sex with women and shirk any responsibility for their preborn children. Here are some tweets by “bro-choicers” who show the truth in this:

Abortion clinic plays radio to drown out women’s screams

From Carol Everett, former clinic worker and manager of 4 abortion clinics, on how abortions were performed.

Each operating room has a radio, each on a different station, so there is little cross-communication between rooms. Every effort is made to keep women from hearing other women scream during the abortion procedure. The woman’s counselor, usually the one who booked her on the telephone, joins her in the room to continue the “friendship”; however, the real reason is to keep her quiet!
