Pro-choice group encourages women to lie to their friends and family in order to get money for abortion

The National Network of Abortion Funds gives a list of ways that women can come up with money if they can’t afford their abortions. They also advise lying to friends and family members in an attempt to get them to pay for the abortion.

Are there people who might not help me cover the cost of an abortion, but would help me cover other costs? Am I comfortable lying to a friend or family member, telling them that I had an unexpectedly high electric bill or gas bill due to heating or A/C costs?

Oral histories in Australia indicate that illegal abortions were widely available

One researcher commented on illegal abortions which were performed in Australia before the liberalizing of abortion laws:

“Oral histories and memoirs suggest that most women who sought and found abortions had relatively safe operations… Research findings suggest that many or even most women could find a doctor, nurse, or skilled nonmedical provider to perform an “illegal” abortion before the middle of the century.”

Rebecca M Albury Beyond the Slogans: the Politics of Reproduction (St. Leonard’s, NSW Australia: Allen & Unwin, 1999) 7, 13

Legalizing abortion in Australia, like in the US, was not needed because thousands of women were dying from illegal operations. Read about the myth of back alley abortion deaths in America here.

Dr. Warren Hern on why women have abortions

Late term abortionist Warren Hern on why his patients have abortions:

“At times, medical considerations enter into the picture, but decisions are usually made on the basis of such factors as desire or lack of desire for parenthood, stability of relationships, educational status, emotional status, or economic status, among others.”

Warren Hern Abortion Practice (Philadelphia: J Lippincott, 1990) 39

Even late term abortions are usually done for elective, not health reasons.

20 weeks. Dr. Hern does abortions at this age every day in his Boulder clinic.

Abortion doctor plays baby’s heartbeat, calls doomed child “sturdy fellow”

Magda Denes, a pro-choice woman who spent time observing doctors and clinic workers in an abortion facility, spoke about a doctor who attempted to kill a woman’s baby with a saline injection, and when the injection failed, took a fetal heart monitor and amplified the baby’s heartbeat, forcing the woman to listen to the heartbeat of the baby they were about to kill. From the author:

“That’s it,” he cries triumphantly, “that’s it – the induction didn’t work. Sturdy fellow you have in there, eh?” He gives a loud guffaw, and his broad obscene wink darkens the room.”

Abortionist “wants to beat the sh*t” out of one of his patients who had multiple abortions

From one abortion worker:

“I have one kid here, seventeen, who’s just had her 3^rd abortion… I want to beat the sh*t out of her. I want to put her through the damn wall. “What’s the matter with you?” I say to her. Every time she thinks a relationship is going on the rocks, she gets pregnant. Then she has an abortion and starts up a new relationship. She swears every time she has an abortion that she won’t screw again. I tell her screwing isn’t the problem, protection is.”

Linda bird Francke The Ambivalence of Abortion (New York: Random House, 1978) 182

If abortion is a procedure that just “removes some cells” or “terminates a pregnancy” then why would it bother them that their patient has had so many? If there is nothing wrong with abortion, why shouldn’t a woman have 2, or 3, or 12? The reality is, clinic workers and abortionists see the bodies of aborted babies daily – they know that abortion is not something to take lightly.

The World Health Organization on abortion and psychiatric disease

Official statement from the World Health Organization on abortion:

“[Abortion] is a bad way of treating psychiatric disease… Investigation shows that there is less psychological trauma associated with normal birth, and there is with a legal abortion.”

Quoted in Ann Saltenberger Every Woman Has a Right to Know the Dangers of Legal Abortion (Glassboro, New Jersey: Air Plus Enterprises, 1982) 134

Woman has abortion at 4 months

From a woman who had an abortion at 18:

“So, I called them [the clinic], and they told me what to do to prepare myself. I didn’t even know what abortion really was. So I went up there the next day – it all happened really fast – and the woman at the reception desk asked me the reason for terminating the baby. I said that “I would like to keep it, but I can’t.” She said, “Well then, you don’t want to, do you?” I said, “No, I want it; but I can’t keep it.” I had no support from anybody at that time. She wrote down anyway that I didn’t want the fetus. That hurt me really bad at the time, because I did want my baby.

She didn’t mention any alternatives whatsoever. In fact, everybody I talked to was very rude to me. It seemed like they were all angry. I went to this other room for counseling, or what they called counseling, but it wasn’t really. Their counseling was to tell us about what they were going to do. Then they showed us pictures of ways to prevent birth next time. They wanted me to get an IUD; they said that was the best thing to get. So they sold me an IUD, and they put it in me after the abortion.

The doctor told me I was almost 4 months along. I asked the doctor, “Is the baby alive?” He said “No.” I never had prior instruction in school as to the development of a baby, so I didn’t know any better. All I had to go on was what he told me; and that’s all he said.”

Summary of Mark K Zimmerman’s study on women and abortion

There was a 1977 study by sociologist Mark K Zimmerman, “Passage through Abortion: the Personal and Social Reality Women’s Experiences.”

The study was cited in David C Reardon Aborted Women: Silent No More (Westchester, Illinois: Crossway books, 1987)

The study was done with cooperation from two abortion clinics, Zimmerman sent letters to women seeking abortions. 6 to 10 weeks after her abortion, Zimmerman interviewed the patients. The study excluded women who had a previous abortion, women who had a second or third trimester abortion, and the samples were handpicked by the clinic workers to avoid people who are already displaying signs of being upset, guilty, or extremely ambivalent.

Even so, the results showed that women had a hard time with their abortions.

95% of the time the male partner, played a central role in the abortion decision. 80% of the time, he supported abortion as the decision and only opposed it 20% of the time. 20% of the men insisted on an abortion even when the woman’s initial decision was to continue the pregnancy. (122)

Over two thirds of the women stated that they had “no choice” or had been “forced” to have an abortion (193)

30% told the interviewer that there had been a strong desire to keep the baby, but they felt that circumstances did not allow it.

50% of the time, the abortion was quickly followed by a disruption or termination of the relationship with the man.

70% of the women expressed disapproval of abortion, seeing it is deviant and immoral. However, they saw themselves as forced by others, by their circumstances, or by society at large and attempted to deny responsibility for what they believed was an immoral act – 70% of those aborted women felt forced to compromise their own values and ideals.

No specific questions were asked about the unborn baby, to keep from upsetting the sample. But 25% of the woman volunteered the aborted fetus was a life, person, or human being.

Only 15% maintain that the fetus was not a person or human life.

Six weeks after the abortion, 48% described themselves as “disturbed by the abortion.”

Proabortion college student wants women to have more abortions

From one college student:

Pro-choice? I’m Pro abortion. There are too many people on this planet. We need to start convincing more women to have abortions.… I hate children. I think there should be much less of them.

Watch him say it

In fact, population is dropping throughout the world. In America particularly, we are facing a demographic crisis because not enough babies are being born to support the aging generations with their taxes. Many people feel that Social Security will be jeopardized when there are not enough taxpayers to pay into it.

Even if there really were too many people in the world, would killing people to eliminate them really be moral?
