They said it.
From one abortion patient:
“I woke up in pain and crying in the recovery room. The doctor came in all annoyed and asked me “What are you still crying for?” He then told me that I cried through the whole procedure even under general anesthesia and that it was very distracting.”

Share on FacebookJean 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.”

Texas (bro-choice) blogger Sam Sherman, a pro-choice man:
“Forcing women to adhere to the anti-choice attitudes of state legislators forces men to do the same, and will have serious consequences both on men’s lives and lifestyles. Your sex life is at stake. Can you think of anything that kills the vibe faster than a woman fearing a back-alley abortion? Making abortion essentially inaccessible in Texas will add an anxiety to sex that will dramatically undercut its joys. And don’t be surprised if casual sex outside of relationships becomes far more difficult to come by.”

We see a pro-choice supporter champion abortion so he can have strings-free sex with women. It’s an attitude that does not care for the rights of women or the preborn.

“… Contraception may not be… The least costly and most rational method of fertility control for all women at all times.… The reality of the situation is that the costs associated with contraception are often so high that abortion becomes de facto the only acceptable method of fertility control for many women.”

In 1970, New York State legalized abortion and placed the legal limit at 24 weeks. Abortions could be performed up to that point. Dr. Bernard Nathanson, former abortionist turned pro-life, tells how this upward limit was determined:
“I had the opportunity to ask Assemblywoman Constance Cook about how the architects of the bill had arrived at the 24 week limit. She told me, a little apologetically, that doctors regarded the 20th week as the point at which the expulsion is no longer an abortion but a premature delivery, and the fetus is an “infant” if born alive, or a “stillbirth” if born dead. The older English Common Law figured viability, the point at which a prematurely delivered fetus had a reasonable chance to survive, at 28 weeks. At this point in her exegesis she paused a beat or two, then said: “We split the difference.” And that, children, is how the laws are written.”
Bernard Nathanson with Richard Ostling Aborting America (New York: Pinnacle Books, 1979) 69
Today, thanks to Roe Vs. Wade there is no longer any upper limit to abortion in NY or some other states. Unless a state has passed legislation banning late term abortions, it is legal to abort up until the day of birth.

Abortion patient, as she was in the clinic before her abortion:
“I felt that this was the time to say “Stop!”, If that was what I wanted, but it wasn’t. I also felt that it would have been very easy to become overemotional psychologically and start thinking things like, “They are going to take my baby away.”

“having an abortion was one of the hardest things one of my closest friends has ever done, and to imagine looking at the ultrasound moments before the procedure, according to her, would have been unbearable.”
LifeSiteNews commented on this:
“The question never answered is why such a thing would be unbearable. Clearly, for the same reason that demolishing a house would be unbearable after seeing a child in its upstairs window! Only a man entirely out of touch with human reason would argue, “Therefore do not look through the windows.”

One abortionist said:
It is an unfortunate irony that abortion work has been cast to the fringes of medicine. Many of my colleagues, if they know at all what I do … think that abortion work is for doctors who can’t do anything else. They would rather not know about me or our patients, preferring to imagine that none of this goes on either for me or them. This makes for what is, in many ways, the hardest part of abortion work — the isolation. It is hard to find people outside of immediate colleagues and family to share the stresses and difficulties of the work.
