Margaret Sanger: Black Australians are “a step higher than a chimpanzee”

From Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood:

“In all fish and reptiles where there is no great brain development, there is also no conscious sexual control. The lower down in the scale of human development we go the less sexual control we find.

It is said that the aboriginal Australian, the lowest known species of the human family, just a step higher than a chimpanzee in brain development, has so little sexual control that police authority alone prevents him from obtaining sexual satisfaction on the streets.”

Margaret Sanger “Sexual Impulses: Part II” New York Call December 29, 1912

Black Native Australians, in Sanger’s view, were a lower order of human than white people like herself.

Pro-Choice Author: Some Women who have Abortions have “Intimate Relationship” with their Babies

Pro-Choice author Bertha Alvarez Manninen says:

“Some women do feel responsible for the fetus and begin to establish an intimate relationship with it from the moment they discover their pregnancy. Indeed, some women feel this way even toward a fetus they plan on aborting.”

Head of Chain of Abortion Clinics: Some Women are “Devastated” by their Abortions

Clare Murphy, a spokesperson for the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, a chain of abortion clinics, says there is “not a jot of evidence” that women suffer post-abortion trauma.

But she says:

“There will of course be women who, even if they do not regret their decision, feel devastated that this was a decision they had to take in the first place.”

Just 1 in 10 women “counseled” at British abortion clinics choose life

An article in The Telegraph found that only one in 10 women who went to the British Pregnancy Advisory Service and Marie Stopes (The two biggest chains of abortion clinics in England, sometimes called charities, even though they make a profit) decided against abortion. It implies that women are getting biased “counseling” and steered into abortion.

“Just one in 10 women who book consultations with Maries Stopes and the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) decide against having an abortion, according to figures from a sample of clinics.

This is half the proportion regularly cited by the charities, who have claimed that one in five women who have consultations decide to keep their baby.

The disparity in the figures, if replicated across the country, indicates that the charities have exaggerated the number of women who continue with their pregnancies after receiving counselling by 14,000 a year…

In Hammersmith and Fulham 1,051 consultations resulted in 968 abortions while 83 decided against the procedure, meaning about 7.9 per cent of women kept their babies.

In Milton Keynes 1,029 women were referred to the clinics and of these 937 had abortions, with just 92, or 8.9 per cent, going ahead with the pregnancy.

In South East Essex 695 consultations produced 624 abortions while 71 women – 10.2 per cent of the total – opted to continue with the pregnancy.

Marie Stopes and BPAS are paid about £60 million a year to carry out abortions, with BPAS specialising in the more costly late-term procedures.”

Woman suffers with grief over abortion she had 35 years ago

One woman wrote:

“I had my abortion 35 years ago, and I have regretted it every day of my life since then. He or she would have been born in July, and every year when July comes around, I think about how old my child would have been, and I cry and cry.

This is the biggest regret of my entire life, and I know there’s no chance that I will ever “get over it.” I murdered my own child, that’s the truth of the matter.

One of the clearest and saddest moments of my life is my memory of lying on the bed (or gurney, or whatever it was). The doctor came in, and for a split second I thought, “I don’t want to do this! I can change my mind!” But I steeled myself and had it done. And then it was done, and my precious child was dead. I threw away my own precious child like garbage!

I’m 71 years old, and I know that I will never, ever recover from this. I often think about what my child might be doing right now. Perhaps he or she would be a teacher, or a doctor or nurse. Perhaps he or she would love me like I loved my own dear mother, and would be calling me every day to see how I’m doing, like I called my own mother …

If I could only go back to that instant lying there on the gurney, when I thought, “I could change my mind!” It was all possible at that moment, a future with a child to love, a child who would love me…..but instead, my own precious baby was thrown away like garbage. And I will never, ever recover from what I’ve done.”

Woman suffered emotional distress for 40 years after her abortion

Pro-life speaker and author Karen B Stevenson, MD, M.Div. speaks in churches about postabortion trauma. She describes one woman who came up to her after a talk:

“Nona cornered me in a quiet hallway after a particularly powerful church service. The pastor had finally consented to allow me to speak about the issues that impact women, and abortion was one of those pivotal issues.

She whispered to me, “It happened to me.” Pause. “I had an abortion” – another, more lengthy pause – “years ago. I’ve never told anyone about it. I thought it would just go away.” Nona went on, “I’m so glad that you talked about it. Can we get together to talk about this? These feelings keep creeping back into my mind, and I just don’t know what to do about it.”

Nona and I did meet and talk about her abortion. She shared her story with me. Nona was 65 years old when I met her. She had her abortion at the age of 20. She was the first person in her family to attend college, and her parents sacrificed their lives to educate her.

When she found out that she was pregnant, she was filled with shame and guilt. Her parents had chosen to send her to school over her brother; they could not afford to send both of them to college.

“I had to do it – the abortion. I had to make my parents proud of me.” Nona completed college and went on to law school. She became a successful attorney, yet she says that the abortion would never quite go away.

She went from relationship to relationship, never allowing men to get close enough “to hurt me again.” Nona confided with me that she refused to let people get close to her, even in church. She attends church to “serve others, but I don’t think that God has really forgiven me. Maybe He will, if I just do enough for other people.”…

Nona is a woman who has been burdened by her secret for over 40 years.”

Suicide was rare among pregnant women before abortion was legalized

Before Roe vs. Wade, women could often get permission for an abortion if they claimed they were suicidal. Because abortions were legal to save a woman’s life, many doctors took the threat of suicide as a risk to a woman’s life, meaning an abortion would be legal.

The woman generally had to see a psychiatrist and have him write down that she would kill herself if she wasn’t granted an abortion.

However, suicides among pregnant women were extremely rare. One researcher says:

“In 1964, Dr. Russell S Fisher, Chief Medical Examiner of the State of Maryland, wrote that he could “recall only one pregnancy among the last 700 suicides, although some pregnancies may have been missed since we do not do an autopsy when the manner and the cause of death are established.”

H Rosen “Psychiatric Implications of Abortion” Western Reserve Law Review 17 (1965) 445, cited in David Granfield The Abortion Decision (Garden City, New York: Image Books, 1971) 100

More recent studies have found that the suicide rate in women who had abortions is higher than among women who hadn’t.

Pro-life authors: abortion illustrates lack of compassion for poor children

Pro-life authors Terry Schlossberg and Elizabeth Achtemeier wrote:

“We often hear the argument in our society that it is far better for some children to be aborted than to be born into a situation where they are unwanted or where they will be abused and perhaps starved to death.

But the implications of that argument is that we autonomous individuals, who make up our society, will take no responsibility for such children. They are not our problem. They would upset our lifestyle and plans.

They would interfere with our independence and well-being. And so better to kill them in the womb than to let them come forth into light.

As one church woman remarked, “Maybe you want to raise all those unwanted babies. I don’t. That’s why I’m pro-choice.”

When it comes to the question of abortion, our autonomous individualism has turned us all into a nation of independent selves, with no communal obligations and with no responsibilities toward one another.”
