Abortion worker: women don’t need to know the “ins and outs” of procedure

From one clinic worker, complaining about this state-mandated counseling that requires her to talk about the abortion procedure of the development of the baby:

I don’t know if I think counseling should be a legal requirement. It should absolutely be an option, probably even encouraged, but I definitely don’t think all of my patients need it or benefit from it. Beyond the informed consent piece, at least – certainly everyone needs to know about risks and aftercare instructions, as with any medical procedure. But I DON’T think women need to hear about the ins and outs of the actual procedure unless they want to; no other type of surgery/procedure requires that level of knowledge on the patient’s part. I’ve had patients strongly object to hearing the details of the procedure, and I hate that I have to tell them anyway. If they’re sure they need an abortion, the details of the procedure really don’t matter.

President of Planned Parenthood: 30% of women abort under pressure

“30% of women, almost one out of 3, have abortions because someone else – often the man involved – wants them to. Is this choice?”

From one abortionist:

“Some of my best friends and favorite family members are pro-life. And absolutely antiabortion. I like to point out that I am pro-life myself, and wish that abortion could become very, very rare. But I am pro-women and pro-choice.”

Florida therapist admits abortion hurts women

“Kris Bercov, a Florida therapist who states that abortions are “sacrifices we make for our own selves,” nevertheless admits that abortion hurts women. In her self–published book “The Good Mother,” she proposes a farewell ceremony for the aborted child that includes coming to grief with the pain caused by the abortion and giving the child a name. Says Bercov, “women are good, we love our children – even sometimes the ones we abort.”

British Medical Journal on fetal pain

“The fetus needs to be heavily sedated by sedating the mother before intrauterine manipulations such as transfusions… The changes in heart rate and increase in movement suggest that these stimuli are painful for the fetus.”

70% of pregnant women chose life after seeing the ultrasound

“Last year, we performed 565 ultrasound exams. Of our pregnant clients who have an ultrasound, 70% decide to carry their babies. Of our pregnant clients who do not have an ultrasound, 29% decide to carry. With outcomes like these, I can’t imagine not having ultrasound at First Choice.”

Kate Michelman speaks out against “antichoice propaganda”

An interview with Kate Michelman, then president of the National Abortion Rights Action League (Now called NARAL Pro-Choice):

Q: What is your objection to requiring that women understand fetal development of the unborn child in order to make an informed decision regarding abortion?

A: The sole purpose behind anti-choice propaganda laws is to use misleading and deceptive information to dissuade women from having abortions. Such laws force doctors and counselors to repeat inside abortion clinics the harassing comments that “Operation Rescue” and other protesters scream at women outside the clinic. Such laws jeopardize women’s health and violate the doctor-patient relationship by interfere with the doctor’s ability to tailor medical counseling and care to each woman’s specific medical needs.”

Child abuse increases after abortion, says psychologist

“Our study indicates that child abuse is more frequent among mothers who have previously had an abortion. The mother’s guilt or high expectations may be reasons why there is this high correlation. A more plausible cause is that because of guilt, there is antepartum depression that interferes with the mother’s ability to bond.”

It’s murder, but a woman’s right

The following is from an interview with Molly Yard, then president of the National Organization for Women:

Q: When a public opinion poll asks, “Is it a woman’s right to choose abortion?” Approximately 67% of Americans say yes. Yet, if the same group is asked, “Is abortion murder?” The same percentage says yes. Why is that?

A: I think it depends entirely on how you ask the question. When you put it in terms of individual rights, people come down on the side of the individual and against the government.

That’s what they’re really saying, that it’s a woman’s right and it’s not the business of the government interfere. They may think it’s murder, but they also don’t think the government should interfere in somebody’s life.

Abortionist says he’s an outcast among his peers

One abortionist:

said working in abortion clinics has made him an outcast among physicians and denied him “a life with a house and a white picket fence and a wife and 3 children.” He lives alone, he says “thrown into a war zone,” and he “drinks beer at night to ease the pain.”
