Man Observes Women “Distraught and Crying” after Abortions

From a man who worked two doors down from an abortion clinic in New Orleans. Gentilly Medical Clinic for Women was closed for repeated health and safety violations:

“Actions speak louder than words. Seeing their [the women, after their abortions] physical conditions, being held up by family members, distraught and crying, I believe more is going on in their [sic] than the story that the sign says.”

The Department of Health and hospitals revoked the clinic’s license May 25, 2011, after a May 6 investigation found that “the facility failed to provide nursing services to meet the needs of its patients and adequately monitor women in recovery following a procedure.”

Woman Struggles after Her Abortion

A woman named Sally tells her story:

“It wasn’t a hard decision, but it was a horrible decision. I felt like I had to do it to survive; I thought my parents would never talk to me again if they found out I was pregnant. I even imagined grandparents in heaven hating me. I tried to involve the guy. I was wishing he would marry me, and I could see no other way to continue the pregnancy. But he was such a jerk. He took me to the clinic, but I paid the whole thing; afterwards he took me to his house and ignored me while I lay there in pain and bleeding. Instead, he went out and bought a kid’s racecar set, set it up on the living room rug, and invited his friends over to play!…

I can’t believe that I stood for that kind of disrespect….. At the clinic they were so cold; the doctor didn’t even tell me his name, but I thought, “This is what I deserve.” I just felt so boxed in, like I had no other choice. Every step I took, I took to function, to survive. So after that I shut down for 10 years, except for anniversary reactions… And I refused to hold a baby.”

Woman Calls Abortion Counseling “Phony”

One woman who had an abortion, whose name was only given as Annette, said that the counseling she received at the clinic was a joke:

“It was like a tea party. Everybody gave her reason, like, “I forgot to take my pill.” And the leader would go, “Oh my!” It felt so unreal, so phony.”

Planned Parenthood President: Ultrasounds before Abortions Are a “Dangerous Agenda”

Referring to a bill supported by Rick Perry that would allow women to see an ultrasound of their unborn baby before going through with an abortion, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards said the following. Keep in mind that Planned Parenthood routinely does ultrasounds anyway to gauge the length of pregnancy and rule out ectopic pregnancies. Women are just not allowed to look at the screen or discouraged from doing so.

“Why is Rick Perry so cruel to women?… Rick Perry is running for president, and if he wins, you can bet he’ll force this dangerous agenda on every woman in every state. If we don’t stand up to him now, women may suffer the consequences for years to come.”

Maggie Haberman  “ Richards: Perry ‘so cruel’ to women” Politico, Sept 1, 2011

first trimester ultrasound

Apparently, seeing an ultrasound before an abortion is  something that Planned Parenthood considers dangerous– perhaps if fewer women choose to have abortions, it would cut into the organization’s profits.

Read about Abby Johnson, Planned Parenthood director, whose change of heart happened after watching an abortion on the ultrasound.

Postabortion Man Calls for Churches to Recognize Abortion Grief

“Research indicates that by age 40 one in four women have had an abortion and the fact is that many of them are sitting in our church pews broken and silent. It is my position that the same can be said of the men. What about the post-abortive father’s guilt, anger and emotional scars? Many of these fathers are as hurt as the mothers. It’s time for the church to open its eyes as well as it’s hearts and arms to these wounded men. They need assistance to break their chains of secrecy, seek godly professional counsel and find true healing.”

Christina Dunigan tells the following story:

16 week old fetus

“Patricia” underwent an abortion at the notorious Dadeland clinic in Miami on March 2, 1985. After she went home, she began to bleed and passed the upper portion of a fetus. “I freaked out,” Patricia told the Miami Herald, “I didn’t know what to do. I could see the eyes, and the arms and legs.” She put the macerated fetus in a plastic bag an took it back to Dadeland, where the clinic director told her it was “a blood clot.” Patricia took the fetus to a hospital where they confirmed that it was the remains of a 16-week fetus. Patricia was fortunate; another Dadeland patient, Ellen Williams, suffered fatal injuries the same day Patricia had her abortion.”
