Abortion Also Effect the Man, says Post-Abortion Father
A man whose wife aborted two babies against his will says the following:
“Abortion is a decision that doesn’t just affect the woman. It is a choice that also affects the father. He may have been the one who demanded and coerced the woman into the abortion, or he may have been the one who stood silently by as the choice was made, without ever being part of the decision-making process, and told about it only after it was an accomplished fact. In either case, the husband becomes conflicted, despondent, and angry.
The views of both husband and wife become perverted, and their perspectives are tossed upside down. Deep down in their hearts, men sense the death of their baby, and they may suffer from the symptoms of Postabortion Stress – just as much as women do.”

From a man identified only as Jim who regrets the abortion his wife had:
“Since that day, the choice I made – the one I forced her to make because I was scared and confused – has haunted me without end. There is not one day that goes by when I do not recall the black Wednesday that changed our lives – the day I took her to the abortion clinic. I hate Wednesdays!
She tried to be so brave and understanding with regard to the burden this child would bring upon us in light of the fact that my new career as a musician was starting to hit. You see, I was getting bookings for clubs up and down the state. How could my career take off with a brand-new baby and wife? I barely had enough money to pay my traveling expenses to the different gigs. I just couldn’t afford the extra cost of having a family. Little did I know how much our decision was going to cost me in the future. I would lose my sweetheart, my soul, and finally my peace of mind… I know that Jesus has forgiven me, but it still is very hard for me to forgive myself. I made a choice, a decision that literally destroyed my hopes and dreams as a young man. The zeal I once had for life was replaced with an ache in my heart that just won’t go away.
Do I deserve love? Do I deserve a family? Do I deserve happiness? I’m still searching and I’m still trying to put the pieces together and work things out in my head. Relationships have become hard for me. I just can’t seem to relate to any woman. It’s as if I have this big hole in my heart and no one can fill the void. I’ve dated some very nice ladies, but nothing ever came of those attempts to build a relationship. The fault was theirs; it was mine. So here I am, sitting all alone day after day, month after month, year after year.”

Woman Raped at 18 Who Aborted Has Regrets
A month before my 18th birthday I was raped by someone I considered a friend. I was already depressed & by the time I realized I was pregnant I was far too afraid to tell anyone & had an abortion. I prayed there would be people outside the clinic to talk me out of it, but no one was there. I’ve regretted that “choice” for over 14 years. Rape is not an excuse for abortion! I’d much rather have my son here with me than to have the pain & hurt of knowing I chose to kill him. Thankfully I’ve found forgiveness & healing in Christ & now counsel other post abortive women & do whatever I can to end abortion & help women who find themselves with an unplanned pregnancy. -Ashley Sigrest
Share on FacebookFormer Clinic Worker: Judy
A woman who worked for an OBGYN who performed abortions told the following to author Cheryl Chew:
“During this time my duties involved preparing the patients for the procedure. I was instructed to counsel with them if they had any questions. If they were having an abortion, I was to reassure them about their decision by telling them that it was all right and that “they were just getting rid of a blob of tissue.”
My final duties were to clean up after the surgery. It would pain my heart and torment my soul when I would have to clean up after an abortion. There, at the end of the stirrup table, was a bin where the doctor would toss the small, crushed body parts of the fetus after he dislodged it from the mother’s womb. I could see the bloody, tiny crushed bodies with their small arms, tiny fingers, and legs that sometimes got torn away from their bodies.
Seeing this procedure done several times a day, one can become immune and numbed to the death of the fetus. In order to survive, I had to accept this aspect as just part of my job, not wanting to fully realize the consequences of what I was doing. I would go home at night and have nightmares, because I was the one who had to dispose of the little mangled and crushed bodies and place them in the incinerator.
Since these procedures were done under the veil of secrecy, there was no other way to dispose of the body parts but to burn them at the end of the day. I had to watch the doctor as he would insert the forceps into the cervix to puncture the uterus and then crush the fetus in his efforts to dislodge it from the womb. I felt so guilty when I had to collect the baby’s body parts and then burn them.”
Judy said that the doctor she worked for was a heavy drinker. He eventually died in an alcohol related car accident. It could be surmised that he was often drunk when he performed abortion procedures.

Woman Experiences Heavy Bleeding and Diarrhea After Abortion Pill
In the December 5, 1994 edition of Time magazine, a patient who took the combination RU-486 and prostaglandin said the following:
“I was very nauseous in a couple of hours. I threw up constantly for three days… It was like food poisoning. I couldn’t keep anything down.”
“I went into the restroom. When I started to stand up, it was like a faucet turning on. There was a steady stream of blood. I passed a golf ball sized blood clot that scared me. I thought maybe it was the fetus.
The cramps stayed steady. In the last fifteen minutes of my appointment, I was doubled over. The bleeding was very heavy, heavier than a period. My mom drove me home. By this time, I was bleeding severely, and I had diarrhea.”
Randall K O’Bannon, “RU-486” National Right to Life News, January 1995
Share on FacebookWoman With Spina Bifida Speaks Out
A columnist for the London Spectator wrote about his daughter who had down syndrome and argued against the abortion of handicapped babies. His column prompted this letter to the Spectator’ s editor:
“I have severe spina bifida and am a full-time wheelchair user. I also run the handicapped division of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children – a group of disabled people. It is difficult for me to express my appreciation of your positive, loving attitude toward your daughter, since it means so much to me. I feel that your acceptance embraces all disabled people, and it represents such a radically different view to the one more commonly expressed. Every day I read in the press about “exciting breakthroughs,” which mean yet another way to kill people like me before birth…”
Paul Greenberg “Perfect Babies Via Abortion” Arizona Republic April 3, 1996
Most abortions of handicapped babies occur in the second or third trimester because problems are often not detected until then.

Many Clinic Workers are Single Mothers, Worker Says
A woman who used to work for Louisiana abortionist reports:
“At the time, I needed a job. I’m a single mom with three children… I was hired as a receptionist. And they so-called “promoted” me to doing the urine tests and the recovery room… What [the abortionist] does is he seeks out people that really need to make the money… Most of the women that do work there are single women with children.”
Interview with unnamed abortion worker, by Rachel McNair 3/10/92
Mark Crutcher “Lime 5: Exploited by Choice ” (Denton, Texas: Life Dynamics Incorporated, 1996) 186
Sometimes abortion providers and clinic owners deliberately hire single mothers because they depend more on the income from the clinic and cannot as easily leave their jobs. There have been a number of former clinic workers who have discussed this practice.
