Few people knew Roe legalized abortion through all 9 months

From The Daily Oklahoman, January 26, 1992:

“Gallup last year found that 69.9 % of respondents thought there were existing restrictions on abortion that actually are not in place because of Roe. Only 17.6 % knew that the effect of Roe was to legalize abortion throughout all 9 months of pregnancy.

Gallup has also found 86.1 % support for laws which would require women to get information about fetal development and abortion alternatives before procuring abortions. Nearly 70% supported requiring parental consent for abortions performed on minors, and 69.2 % opposed abortion as a means of birth control. A full 54.8 % would back a requirement that the baby’s biological father must consent before abortions…

An October 1989 Wirthlin Group poll which found 69% popular support for the proposition that “the lives of unborn babies should be protected.”

14 year old has complications during abortion

Linda Huffsteller wrote about her abortion:

“I was only 14 years old acting out of fear and desperation. I didn’t even give them an I.D. because I didn’t have any. . . . All I had to do is sign in. No one even talked to me until I had a gown on and was ready to wheel me to the OR room. During my abortion I was told by the nurses that I almost didn’t make it and there was complications. I was told I would be in and out within an hour or two. I was in recovery for the next 10 hours and my boyfriend (now my husband) wasn’t kept informed why I wasn’t coming out into the waiting room where he had to wait. They even locked the doors due to closing time.”

Judge describes witnessing abortion procedure on TV

Pro-Life judge Randall J Hekman wrote about a television program he saw:

“Embedded on my mind is a recent TV documentary on abortion in which the viewers actually witness a woman being aborted… We could hear the woman crying as the vacuum pump whirled, sucking her live child out to oblivion.

After the deed was done, the social worker attending the woman asked her if she hurt anymore. The woman’s answer, given with noticeable despondency, spoke volumes. “Not physically,” she said.

The social worker, accurately perceiving that the woman was emotionally aching from what had just happened, said, “It’s all right to feel bad. You’ve just lost something.”

Pro-Choicer calls abortion “sacrament in the hands of women”

From pro-choice activist Joyce Arthur:

“Abortion is a major blessing, and a sacrament in the hands of women…. Now, a flake of dandruff from my head is human, but it is not a human being, and in this sense, neither is a fertilized egg.”

Rape survivor who had baby: my daughter is “a rainbow after the storm”

From a woman who was raped by her ex-boyfriend and had her baby:

“My little girl is now three years old and she is the most beautiful girl in the world! We are (age appropriately) honest with her. She knows that her Daddy didn’t make her, but he chose her.

“Daddy” is her husband, who she met later. She goes on to say:

“She is not a “rape baby.” She is MY baby. She is the baby of a rape victim, and she is worthy of life. Children like her should not be punished for the crimes of their fathers.

My daughter is truly the rainbow after the storm.”

Abortionist admits she’d let a baby born alive after an abortion die

Abortionist was asked about what she would do if she was doing an abortion and a baby was born alive.

“I’ll tell you what I would do if this impossible scenario [of a live birth after during an abortion] were to happen, however: I would do whatever the patient wanted me to. The newborn would be unable to make medical decisions for itself and therefore medical-decision making would legally fall to the parents.”

If the parents wanted to kill the baby then, it look like Torres would do the killing.

She then says:

“Even in cases of 3rd trimester abortion, the fetus is euthanized. This is not only due to the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, but it is also humane medicine. It would be very traumatic to the mother, father (if present), and caregivers (physicians, nurses, etc) if during the induction of the abortion the baby were born alive then left to die. How horrific! Despite popular opinion, we are not monsters. We are physicians who seek to minimize the trauma of this difficult decision.”

Philosopher: Animal Life can be more valuable than Human Life

Princeton Philosopher Peter Singer:

“Because people are human does not mean that their lives are more valuable than animals. Some nonhuman animals are more like normal human beings than are some seriously damaged members of our own species.”

Quoted in “American Bioethics Advisory Commission Demands Resignation of Princeton Professor” The Wanderer December 8, 1998, p. 11

Singer is a strong supporter of legal abortion.

Pro-Choicer compares aborted baby to unwanted puppy

A pro-abortion writer tries to explain why pictures of aborted babies generate so much sympathy for preborn babies:

“The story and reasons of the aborting women unknown, the fetus found in a plastic bag in a dumpster is seen to be as alone and abandoned as a half- grown Christmas puppy.”
