Abortion worker: “I’ve been called a hero”

An abortion worker says:

“I’ve been called a hero before. I didn’t know exactly quite what to do with it at first. They would say “girl, you so strong. Girl you just do everything, you know everything. And I feel that being a hero is a responsibility and I go into it just thinking I’m just trying to do my best. What makes [heroes] distinct from other people is they are so quick to get up and just keep on fighting.”

Grandmother of aborted baby describes saying “goodbye to tiny soul”

At an event commemorating the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a social worker, Gianna, read a letter from the mother of a young girl who had an abortion. The woman wrote:

“It hurts me to see her hurt the turmoil she must have gone through before even telling me. She was further along than 15 wks. So that is why we are here….At any age this decision to terminate is difficult and at 15- she is still a child- cartoons all day. I was with her during the procedure and it was difficult for me. To see my child having this done and saying goodbye to a tiny soul.”

After 15 weeks, the “little soul” would be at least this developed:

The child would have been dismembered in the abortion.

Illegal abortionist did 100,000 abortions

Dr. Spencer was an illegal abortionist who did as many as 100,000 abortions in the year before Roe Vs. Wade.

Author Vincent J Genovese says that people in Spencer’s town knew he was doing illegal abortions:

“Everyone knew what went on inside [his illegal abortion clinic] but chose to ignore it… Most of the business enjoyed by the drugstore, the restaurant, and the hotel was directly attributable to Dr. Spencer’s clinic. The proprietors of these establishments were very critical of Spencer’s abortion practice, still, none of them ever turned away a customer. All of them became reasonably wealthy…”

An abortionist talks about her religion

Talia, an abortionist, says:

“Religion is very organized. There are rules, things you’re supposed to do, things you’re not supposed to do. And abortion is apparently one of those things [you’re not supposed to do]. Whatever the situation I recognize that there’s a higher power. There’s God who made this creature here. I also feel very deeply in some way that this is the path I’m supposed to be on, and this is given to me. This is the road set before me by my higher power. So how can it be wrong?…

In my heart of hearts I still feel like this is what I want and need to do. Do I feel guilty that I’m breaking some sort of law? Maybe….

When I’m at church services, I think about work. I offer up prayers for the families, the patients, the work, we do. I ask God to forgive everything that I did that was wrong. And if providing is wrong, well, I do it to help other people. I think God will understand. It’s something I’ll struggle with forever, but it’s not a bad struggle.”

Woman describes her abortion by pill

A woman named Solome describes what happened when she took the abortion pill:

“I made an appointment and went to the clinic. They said I could take the pill because I found out in the early stages. A part of me thought that as long as they didn’t go in there with any metal tools and suck it out, it would be different and less gruesome. Boy, was I wrong! The time between my visit and my appointment went by really fast. I was numb and completely disconnected from everything around me. I would start crying as soon as I left work until I fell asleep at 4 or 5 am. I would walk down the street crying, or in the train, or when I saw babies and pregnant women.

I went to the clinic on a Thursday afternoon and took my first pill. I was given prescription pills for the next day. It took about 30 minutes for the cramps and bleeding to start. I remember thinking, “OK, so this should be over in an hour or so.” But it wasn’t. During that time I felt like my inside was being torn and sliced to pieces. I had blood all over my legs and went in the tub to wash them. The cramps got so bad I couldn’t even move. I couldn’t even cry. It was worse than anything I’ve ever seen on TV. All the labor and contractions they show was nothing compared to this. I couldn’t get to my phone to dial 911 and go to the emergency room. I lay there for hours thinking, “I deserve this; I brought this on myself.” Right before the fetus came out, I started vomiting everything I had in my system since that morning. Then I bled some more and hurt some more. I started praying curled up in blood in the tub, for the first time in years. I don’t remember the last time I prayed before this happened. After hours of hurting, I finally felt a huge physical relief, and the pain was immediately gone. I managed to get up. When I turned around .I saw the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever seen my entire life. I saw my child. It was at that moment that it finally sunk in properly. I really had been pregnant. I had been carrying the life I created inside of me until that very moment.

Right after that, I cried and cried for hours. I put my child in a little box and kept saying I was sorry for what I had done. I was weeping and screaming, but nothing could turn back time. I felt like a part of me died. I felt angry. I felt guilty. I felt like my world was coming to an end and that I was the most terrible person on this earth. I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. It was the most beautiful thing I ever created, and I destroyed it.”

Postabortion woman: I could feel them scraping

A woman talks about how painful her abortion was:

“It hurts so much. It was incredible… They should have told me how much it was going to hurt. What hurt the most was that I could feel when they were scraping around inside. I’ve talked to a lot of girls who said the same thing happened to them when they were really far along.”

Woman decides to have her baby after seeing baby on ultrasound screen

A reporter wrote about a woman who came to New Life Pregnancy Center intending to have an abortion. The article quotes Debbie Gillmore, director of the center:

“The woman declined the center’s gift of a baby hat, saying, “No. I’m not so sure I want to go through with this,” Gillmore recalled.”

The pregnant woman later came back for an appointment to see her baby on the ultrasound. The article says:

“The ultrasound technician displayed on the monitor her unborn child, arms and legs moving. When the beating heart appeared on the monitor, the woman blurted out, “There it is,” Gillmore reported in a written account. The technician gave the pregnant woman a model of an unborn baby about the developmental age of hers that she had just observed.

Holding the fetal model, the woman looked at the face and paused before telling the technician, “Well, I guess I’d better start thinking about a name.”

Parents call children with down syndrome “gifts from God”

The parents of a child with down syndrome wrote a newspaper editorial about how valuable children with down syndrome are. Here is an excerpt:

“There are no more giving, joyful, happy or precious children then Downs children. They are a genuine gift from God. Our son teaches us the meaning of patience and love and faith – just by his very existence. He has touched the lives of so many of our relatives and friends, adding dimensions they had not known existed. And he has helped us grow as a couple and as parents.”

Former abortion clinic worker: Sally Nunezsa

Former abortion worker Sally Nunezsa tells her story:

“I had worked at a GYN doctor’s office where abortions were performed. I also helped set up appointments for abortions.

I worked there for about three weeks. About a week into working I found out that there was a doctor there who performed late-term abortions up to twenty-six weeks.

Ultrasound of baby at 26 weeks

That didn’t sit well with me since at that time I really thought it was “just a blood clot.”

We had just moved to Florida from New Jersey and my husband didn’t have a job yet. As soon as he found a job I quit. In fact, I remember leaving around the middle of the day. I left crying and told the office manager I couldn’t do it anymore because the “late term” abortions tore my heart apart.

At the retreat, then and only then, I realized the depth of the pain I had caused not only for myself, but also for many other women. As I heard and saw the extreme pain these women were in, and how many babies I helped murder, I felt like all the women that I set those appointments for were there next to me and I could hear them crying and suffering and I could see the babies I helped murder.”

Philosopher promotes “post-natal abortion”

Philosopher and ethicsist Joseph Fletcher says:

“It is reasonable to describe infanticide as post-natal abortion … Infanticide is actually a very humane thing when you are dealing with misbegotten infants. We might have to encourage it under certain conditionalities of excess population, especially when you’re dealing with defective children.”
