Abortion supporter: God has spoken on abortion

Pro-Abortion activist Henry Piper argues that God allows abortion. He says because of the Fall in the Garden of Eden, abortion is permissible

“The basic idea of an anti-abortionist is that when an abortion is performed, we are going against God’s will….God has already decided. When he expelled mankind from the Garden of Eden, he said the woman would have responsibility for childbirth.

The Lord has spoken.”

Woman grieves baby she killed with abortion pill

A woman shared the following testimony on the Priests for Life site:

“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.”

CPC counselor recalls story of a changed mind

Debbie Gillmore, New Life Pregnancy Center in Tempe, Ariz, says that a woman wanting an abortion went to her 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.

Later, the woman saw her baby on an ultrasound:

“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.”

Abortionist describes pain of her own abortion

A woman who flies from clinic to clinic doing abortions told a reporter about the pain her own abortion caused her. Abortionist “Clara” had an abortion when she was younger, and does abortions. now. “Clara” recalls:

“I felt fine when I walked in the room, laid down, and then all of a sudden I had pain that I didn’t know was possible. Labor pain starts slowly and goes on and on and on. This is much shorter. You feel absolutely fine, and then you suddenly feel attacked by this person between your legs.”

Now she is the attacker.

Man goes to jail for killing preborn baby in car accident, wonders why abortionists don’t

Letter from a man who is in jail. He was convicted and sentenced for killing a preborn baby in an accident he caused through drunk driving. He says:

“What is the difference? Why do we mourn one and not the other? Why did I get punished for this woman losing her child in the automobile accident? Doesn’t an abortion also result in the same thing, the killing of an innocent child? This same woman could’ve had an abortion yesterday, and I would not be in here, and nothing would’ve been said about this baby. This baby would have been discarded like a piece of trash. Now I am that piece of trash that killed an innocent life. What about the abortionist who does all those abortions? Do they not also take an innocent life? Why are they not punished? Do they have a license to kill?”

16 weeks. This baby could be killed legally by an abortionist, but if someone else were to kill him through an act of violence or neglect, it would be a crime.

Man is “devastated” when partner tells him she is having an abortion

A man named Randy tells his story:

“I was just devastated. I remember falling off my bed …and I couldn’t get up. I thought I’d lost my mind. At that point, I was totally destroyed. Everything I believed in – that good triumphs over evil – was destroyed. My baby was sentenced to be killed for no purpose and it made no sense to me. You have to understand… I know that I’m a father. And I know you’re going to take my child (whom I love, want, and would die for), tear it to pieces and throw it in the garbage. Now, you really don’t believe those things happen.”

High school student has “bond” with baby, still aborts

Elizabeth became pregnant and had an abortion when she was in high school. Later, she had a second abortion. She says of the second abortion:

“Over the months… I had formed this bond with my baby. I used to talk to her and try to do things that would be good for her. I knew that I was going to get rid of her, but until then I wanted her to be healthy. This will probably sounds weird, but I really did love her…

I am now taking precautions so that this will not happen again. The emotional part was a lot worse than the first time because I had grown to know and love my baby. She was there when Bruce was not. But I could not keep her. Selfishness probably had a part in it, I must admit. Also, I will never forgive myself for the fact that Bruce’s father died…. I killed his granddaughter on the day that his life ended. I have always looked at it this way and I still feel guilty about it. I have also always thought that my baby would have been a girl. I guess you could call it a woman’s intuition or motherly instinct.”

Medical Journal documents babies aborted alive

An article in the prestigious American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology revealed:

“In a single locale, scrupulous records kept over a 5 month period revealed 27 births by abortion – not a single month went by without at least one; and as many as 3 babies a day weighing up to 3 lbs. 6 oz. were delivered alive from legal abortions.”

Teen incest victim was not helped by her abortion

Kate, who was molested and raped by her father, became pregnant by him, decided to get an abortion. She was far advanced in her pregnancy when she went to the abortion facility:

“In fact no-one ever asked me the identity of my child’s father; nor did I want to tell them… I had been trained to believe that no-one would believe me…

I had given up alcohol and was taking extra milk and iron to nurture a baby I intended to abort!

September came, and at last I left home, having won a place at college to read theology and psychology… Still pregnant, I went to the students’ health center. There was no discussion of alternatives to abortion. The attitude was, “You’re at the start of your degree. You don’t want to spoil everything now.”…

At the BPAS clinic [British Pregnancy Advisory Service, a network of abortion clinics] I had what was euphemistically described as counseling. Two doctors pronounced that my mental health would be impaired if I continued with this pregnancy. There was no discussion about my circumstances or the father’s identity; it was simply assumed that because I was 18 and embarking on a three-year degree course, a child would get in the way.

My naïveté extended to ignorance of the abortion procedure. I thought I’d go into the clinic, have an anesthetic, wake up and walk out, free to get on with my life.

“You might feel mildly depressed afterwards,” I was told. They took no account of the fact that I was nearly 26 weeks gone, nearly at the legal limit. I think all abortion is traumatic, but I had no idea what would come my way. I was totally unprepared to discover that not only would I be awake, but it would take a long time and be extremely painful.

The staff at the clinic were also ambivalent towards me. It’s harder for them to administer a process which will destroy a 26 week unborn infant than a 10 week baby, because the gruesome result of their actions is far more evident…

Nothing was explained except that I was too many weeks pregnant for termination to be by a surgical procedure. The solution was a saline injection. It never occurred to me that I would go through labor and birth. I remember asking a doctor, “Will this hurt the child?”

He replied, “You mustn’t think about that. It’s not a child, it’s a fetus.”

Pro-Choice activist admits she was raised to “demonize” pro-lifers

In an interview, pro-choice feminist Naomi Wolf admitted that she had “been raised all her life” to “demonize” pro-lifers.

“I have to reckon with the fact that many of the people I’ve heard from on that side [pro-life] of the divide are thoughtful, ethical people who respect women and who believe that it is a deep moral concern and even a deep religious concern to raise the status of women in society.”
