Woman mourns abortion she had in 1979

A postabortion woman shared her story:

“My abortion was in 1979. It was just right out of my divorce. My son, who is now 35, was only two at the time. And I felt like I had no choice.

I was very uneducated. I thought there was no life before a certain time. I had no idea that at 12 weeks when I aborted my baby, the baby was developed and had a heartbeat. I just didn’t have any idea. We didn’t have any education back then. It was just like, ‘do it, get out and that’s it.’

And I didn’t deal with it for a long time. I believe it can take women years to deal with the abortion, the emotions. That’s what happened to me.

Once I did get remarried and had a husband and they raised three children. But I began to be really depressed. I began to be really ugly to my children. I didn’t know what was wrong.

After she dealt with her abortion on a postabortion healing weekend:

You’ll always remember the anniversary of the abortion. You’ll remember the anniversary of what their birthday would have been. I still cry. I still have emotions, but it’s okay. It still hurts, but it don’t hurt like it did then….. I wish I’d never been able to make that decision.

Abortion pill taker: “it was emotionally scarring and physically horrible”

From a woman who had both an abortion by pill and a surgical abortion:

“The pill for me was the experience of having a baby. Contractions for 10 hours, sweating, screaming, being by myself. It was emotionally scarring and physically horrible.”

She described using the abortion pill as:

“the worst experience, the most physically and emotionally painful thing, that I’ve ever been through.”

Abortion textbook recommends ultrasounds be done in clinics

A textbook on how to perform abortions, written by a late term abortionist who has been practicing for decades, talks about how important ultrasounds are in abortion care

“Sonographic examination is invaluable for a variety of reasons. Aside from more accurate assessment of fetal age than other methods, it provides information concerning fetal presentation, placental location, multiple gestations, and such unexpected conditions as hydatidiform mole, myomas, uterine structural abnormalities, and extrauterine lesions (e.g. ovarian cysts). Many of these data can affect clinical management in important ways.

While ultrasound is not perfect, it appears to be considerably more accurate for determining fetal age than are menstrual dates and even a careful examination by an experienced physician.”

Clinic escort on ultrasound: women know what’s in there

An abortion clinic escort talks about how one of the women at the abortion clinic changed her mind after seeing an ultrasound of her baby. She says:

Lots of women aren’t sure about the decision when they go in to a clinic, and they ask to see the ultrasound, and they decide not to abort. That’s fine – it’s a choice. But when a woman comes in who is 100% sure of the decision, and has no interest whatsoever in looking at the ultrasound, why should she have to?… (here’s a news flash) when women are pregnant, they KNOW what’s in there! They don’t think it’s a fish, or a stapler. We don’t need an ultrasound to tell us.

I think people who ask to see the ultrasound should be allowed to, of course. For some women it’s the information they need to show themselves that they can’t go through with it. For others, it’s a piece of the grieving process.

Woman asks disturbing question during abortion counseling

From one woman who had an abortion:

“Well, we all sat there and about half the people in the room – I can’t remember how many girls there were, maybe 6 or 7 – were on their 2nd or 3rd time and it didn’t seem to phase them at all…

This one girl – they were asking questions – the only question she had was she said she’d had a couple before and she said it smelled bad afterwards: Was there any way she could get rid of that because her boyfriend didn’t like the smell?”

Woman talks about her experience with abortion pill

“Rose” a 27-year-old woman who had two earlier such abortions, underwent an abortion by pill. She says:

“The experience was awful on many fronts – talking about it with my husband tonight, he said he remembers calling nursing staff on at least two occasions during the 24 hours after my taking the tablets, as we were worried at the nausea, pain and amount/size of blood clots. He was informed this was normal and that if symptoms continued past three days to call back.

Overall the worst part of the RU-486 was the sheer amount of time it took for me to “terminate” my baby: with each and every large clot of blood – which I literally could feel passing through my insides and then out of my vagina – was a reminder of the fact I was terminating a baby, for which I felt hugely saddened. More than I realized I would.

It was three days of nausea, high temperature/sweating (I was worried about infection), cramping, lots of blood, distress and swirling emotions, thoughts, etc. I would never ever go through that again.…

I absolutely support a woman’s access to abortion – but I think RU-486 and a prostaglandin is the wrong way to go.”

Unborn babies are very active in the womb

A book on fetal development talks about how babies move in the womb

“Space permitting, fetuses might be rolling, back flipping, kicking, stretching, yawning, breathing, swallowing, somersaulting, turning their heads, flexing their feet, waving their arms, sucking their thumbs, holding their penises, rolling from side to side, hiccupping, jumping (startling) at loud noises from outside.

Only if they move a good deal will fetuses be doing enough muscle work for their joints, bones, and muscles to develop properly.… water, whether it is amniotic fluid surrounding a developing baby, or a pool in which children are free to fool around because of the freedom from gravity its buoyancy offers, is one of the best playgrounds ever created.”

Postabortion woman has trouble being around children

From one postabortion woman:

“I found it very difficult to be in the presence of children, babies, pregnant women, because they were conscious and subconscious reminders of the abortion and the incredible loss that I know and feel.”

Man at abortion clinic will “make her get an abortion”

An abortion clinic escort tells this story:

The other story I heard from JD, another friend of mine who happens to be an escort. She said she ran into a guy she used to go to school with, and while making small talk about the latest stuff that was going on in their lives, the guy said that his girlfriend was pregnant, and he was going to “make her get an abortion”.
