Woman screamed in pain during abortion by pill

A woman shared her experience with abortion pills on LiveJournal:

“I took my four pills at 2:45. I was fine for about an hour, than the heavy cramping started. This was easily more painful than my recovery from gall bladder surgery which I was pretty surprised about honestly. I took my anti nausea meds before taking the four pills, and then I took a Tylenol with codeine. None of which touched me. I ended up vomiting repeatedly in the bathroom for about 10 minutes. I decided to take a hot bath. This helped a lot at first, I got out of the bathtub and laid on the couch.

About thirty minutes into laying on the couch, I was in agonizing pain, pacing up and down my kitchen, randomly screaming and crying(part of that is probably because I apparently suck at handling pain). This went on until around 7:30. At 7:30 I decided a hot shower might help, I was going nuts with pain at this point and had puked again, I just wanted anything to get rid of the pain. Ten minutes into my shower I had a giant clot of some sort…it was flesh colored and the size of a standard coaster almost. After that I bled a lot and I’m still bleeding, I had one blood clot after that so far. I do feel pretty queasy right now though.

Right now I feel crampy but I am okay…I won’t lie, I cried a little after it happened. But I know this was the right choice for me.

Preborn baby can sense how mother feels

From an article in the Milwaukee –Wisconsin Journal Sentinel:

“Science has learned that a developing fetus receives messages from the mother, everything from hearing mom’s heartbeat to the music she might direct toward her belly. But a new study in the journal Psychological Science suggests that the fetus can pick up on signals and respond to a mother experiencing depression….

“We believe the human fetus is an active participant in its own development and is collecting information for life after birth,” said Curt A. Sandman, one of the authors and an emeritus professor of psychiatry and human behavior at UC-Irvine. “It’s preparing for life based on messages the mom is providing.”

NARAL uses the word “baby”; admits child in the womb feels pain

In 2015, NARAL Pro-Choice America, one of the most extreme pro-abortion groups in America, sent out a fundraising letter that called a preborn child a “baby” and admitted that a child in the womb feels pain at 20 weeks, which almost all pro-choice individuals vehemently deny.

The letter was signed by a NARAL supporter, Dana Weinstein, asking for donations to NARAL to fight HR 36, the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would ban abortions after 20 weeks (5 months).

The text was:

“When I was more than 20 weeks pregnant, my doctor discovered our baby had horrifying severe fetal anomalies that could not have been discovered earlier in pregnancy.

If I’d carried our wanted and loved baby to term, she would have survived only for a short time, in a world of immense suffering. So we chose to end our baby’s pain.”

Below is a scan of the letter.

These pro-abortion activists publicly admitted that a “fetus” is a baby and that when pro-lifers say the child can feel pain at 20 weeks, they are telling the truth.

Harry Blackmun’s former clerk speaks about Roe V. Wade

Edward Lazarus — Former clerk to Harry Blackmun, who wrote Roe V. Wade:

“As a matter of constitutional interpretation and judicial method, Roe borders on the indefensible. I say this as someone utterly committed to the right to choose, as someone who believes such a right has grounding elsewhere in the Constitution instead of where Roe placed it, and as someone who loved Roe’s author like a grandfather….

“What, exactly, is the problem with Roe? The problem, I believe, is that it has little connection to the Constitutional right it purportedly interpreted. A constitutional right to privacy broad enough to include abortion has no meaningful foundation in constitutional text, history, or precedent - at least, it does not if those sources are fairly described and reasonably faithfully followed.”

Woman describes laughing in abortion clinic

One woman who had an abortion says:

“Phil went with me to the abortion clinic. I saw all those other women there, and I was so curious. I couldn’t help wondering why they were there and how they felt about it. People were so wonderful to us. One of the nurses really wanted to hear about Jesse [her living daughter]. I didn’t think I’d laugh that day, but when we talked about my [other] baby [who she allowed to live] we ended up laughing together. I was a little weepy during the abortion, wishing it could’ve been different, but you can’t turn back the clock…

Sure, I’ve felt sad since. It was a sad decision to have to make. But it also felt right… We really look forward to our next baby, and will do that together, too!”

Abortionist: Not aborting violates Hippocratic Oath

The Hippocratic Oath states “I will not give a woman a pessary to cause abortion.” however, one abortionist says:

“I get absolutely no joy whatsoever doing any abortion, but we have a duty to an individual. The Catholic physician is aborting the Hippocratic Oath more than I am in not giving a woman the choice.”

Father of down syndrome child speaks

Chris Kaposy, who is pro-choice but has written a book on why parents shouldn’t choose to abort babies after finding out they have down syndrome, talks about his own son, Aaron:

“At seven, Aaron is a happy little kid who enjoys playing ball hockey, watching YouTube videos, playing with his train set, and learning how to read. Aaron is especially devoted to his older sister, Elizabeth, and his younger brother, Ty. He looks forward to visits from his grandparents, and he misses them when they are not around. I put him to bed at night and get him ready for school in the morning. When I leave the house with him or walk him into school, Aaron dutifully holds my hand. At midday, Aaron eats lunch with his friends at school. To our surprise, he has learned his letters and the alphabet about as quickly as Elizabeth did, though he takes longer to learn other things, such as how to drink milk from an open cup without spilling it all over himself. In all these respects, Aaron is very much like most other children who do not have a disability. He is good at some things and not so good at others. Our lives are better with him here with us. Our feelings toward Aaron are very similar to feelings that parents and siblings have to any child who does not have a disability. I know this because I feel the same way about Elizabeth and Ty.”

Pro-choicer: Newborn isn’t human until “socialization”

Pro-Choice activist Ashley Montague:

“the embryo, fetus and newborn of the human species do not…become functionally human until humanized in the human socialization process.”

Pro-Choice authors Carole Dornblaser and Uta Landy:

“Essentially, he is saying that newborns are primitive creatures who do not become human until they have acquired at least a veneer of civilization.”

Pro-Choice activist: You can think fetus is a person and still be pro-choice

Pro-choice activist:

“I think it is entirely possible to believe that the fetus is a person – to absolutely accept that humanity of a fetus and still support abortion.”
