They said it.
Doctor Bernard Nathanson, Former abortionist and founder of NARAL, talking about when he and others were trying to make abortion legal in New York State:
“There were perhaps 300 or so deaths from criminal abortions annually in the United States in the 60s, but NARAL in its press releases claimed to have data that supported a figure of 5000.”

“I hid and suppressed the realization that the only reason our oldest daughter was not alive today was due to my own cowardice. I went to my wedding, pretending to be an upright, moral young man with my bride dressed all in white. She was beautiful, and we looked great on the outside. No one could see the brokenness we were both hiding so well. We had aborted our first child just months before.
For 15 years, I was too ashamed to tell anyone what I had done, except my best friend. My wife and I never talked about it, we did not grieve together, and we hid it deep in the recesses of our minds. Our marriage began to unravel, and through extensive counseling, we realized how much of our struggle had come down to the decision to end the life of our first child. We began to deal with our shame and guilt. We realized the extent of the mental and emotional trauma it caused. There were many levels – resentment, a lack of forgiveness, feelings of abandonment – all revealed as we dealt with the reality of this decision many years earlier…
There is not a day that goes by that I don’t regret my decision. After all, any good father would jump in front of a train to save the life of his child. The life of our first daughter, Sara, should not have been any different.”

“In the real world, out of women who are using the pill well, about eight in every 100 will get pregnant in the course of a year… We need abortion as a backup to contraception.”

“[Abortion] does not liberate women; it frees male sexual aggression. The availability of abortion removes the one remaining legitimized reason women have had for refusing sex besides the headache.… The Playboy foundation has supported abortion rights from day one.”

“I feel like a murderer… I was not by her side to support her. I turned my face away. My behavior was in all respects craven, immoral. [The baby] would have inconvenienced me. I’d had my fun. He didn’t fit into my plans… His name, which I carved on my heart, was Thomas … I still grieve for little Thomas. It is an ocean of grief.”

As identical twins grow bigger [in the womb], they’re almost always in contact, touching hands, faces, feet and gradually becoming more aware of themselves and each other.

“Every baby begins life within the tiny globe of the mother’s egg… It is beautifully translucent and fragile and it encompasses the vital links in which life is carried from one generation to the next. Within this tiny sphere great events take place. When one of the father’s sperm cells, like the ones gathered here around the egg, succeeds in penetrating the egg and becomes united with it, a new life can begin.”

There is simply no doubt that even the early embryo is a human being. All its genetic coding and all its features are indisputably human. As to being, there is no doubt that it exists, is alive, is self-directed, and is not the the same being as the mother–and is therefore a unified whole.

Share on FacebookOne abortionist said:
Hillary can say anything she wants about whether an abortion is a tragedy. What I know when I perform an abortion for a patient is that the overwhelming feeling is one of relief. Because the abortion has solved a huge problem in her life, whether it’s because she couldn’t afford another child, couldn’t afford to be a good mother to another child, or doesn’t have the money to raise a child. Every time I do an abortion I save a woman’s life. If you want to call that a tragedy—I don’t consider it a tragedy, I’m sorry.

Share on FacebookA woman named Jill was in a Planned Parenthood clinic when she accidentally saw a printout of her ultrasound. She says:
“I accidentally saw my ultrasound when I went up to pay the Planned Parenthood cashier. I saw little arms, little legs, and a head.”
Jill writes that the photo was just sitting there on top of her file.
From the article:
Prior to accidentally seeing the ultrasound (which was not voluntarily offered to her as a factual, scientific representation of her baby), Jill had undergone counseling at Planned Parenthood. She thought it was quite a sham, and not at all helpful in making a decision. Jill describes that “the state-mandated ‘professional counseling’ consisted of two questions, a sigh, and, ‘Well, it’s decided then.’” The clinic also had Jill “sit through a movie that described how the doctor would ‘suction out this untimely pregnancy.’” She describes the movie as “extremely clean, like almost stick figures” – nothing like the reality of abortion.“…
Jill was very unimpressed with the standard of care at Planned Parenthood, sharing that it was practically non-existent. “Dressed in our gowns, we go to the doctor’s ‘procedure’ rooms, I slowly slide onto the cold metal table, next to a perfect silver tray lined with sharp polished knives of every shape & size.” When an older woman came into the room, she informed Jill that the doctor would come in within five minutes, and without any offer of pain medication, stated that Jill was to “be ready.” That, Jill writes, was “the extent of the doctor-patient consultation” she received.
