Thus says the LORD, your redeemer, and he
that formed you from the womb, I am the LORD that makes all things; that
stretches forth the heavens alone; that spreads abroad the earth by myself; That
frustrates the tokens of the liars, and makes diviners mad; that turns wise men
backward, and makes their knowledge foolish; Isaiah 44:24-25
But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou
didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. Psalm 22:9 Lo, children are an heritage of the
LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a
mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver
full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies
in the gate. Psalms 127:3-5 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast
covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knows right
well. Psalms 139:13-14 "It is a poverty to decide that
a child must die so that you may live as you wish."
Mother Teresa "Abortion is advocated only by persons who
have themselves been born." Ronald Reagan
Multiple "Choice" Questions By Mike Adams - (Author’s Note:
The sole outside source for the following column is the work of Scott Klusendorf
(www.prolifetraining.com).
Scott, a Summit Ministries faculty member, is, in my opinion, the world’s
greatest pro-life advocate. Summit Ministries graduate Lila Rose is a close
second. Both Scott and Lila are graduates of UCLA.) Dear Keith: Thanks for
writing to share your concerns about your “pro-choice” sociology professor.
Taking a sociology class is always tough – especially when the professor claims
to be your moral superior while simultaneously advocating abortion. I would
recommend that you temper your remarks in class whenever you feel you are on the
verge of losing your composure. In fact, you should not make any remarks or
statements at all. Instead, you should just ask questions. Here are some good
ones I wish I had asked while in college: 1. Morally speaking, is having an
abortion really just like picking a scab? 2. If abortion is not murder because
the fetus is not a person then why make it “safe, legal, and rare”? (Click
here for all 35 questions.)
As you know not what is the way of the spirit, nor
how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so you know
not the works of God who makes all.
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have
compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget
thee.
Isaiah 49:15
...You shall not murder (Exodus 20:13).
...Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back
those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Behold,
we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive
it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will
he not repay man according to his work? (Proverbs 24:12)
...Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are
destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights
of the poor and needy (Proverbs 31:8-9).
...And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne
to me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were
your whorings so small a matter that you slaughtered my children
and delivered them up as an offering by fire to them? (Ezekiel
16:20-21)
Why Abortion Is Not Consistent With Christianity - By
Raphael-Warnock ...The fact is that abortion isn't health care
at all. Abortion is the intentional killing of an innocent human
life, and it inflicts direct physical harm on both the mother
and the unborn child. Moreover, abortion wounds the mental and
emotional health of the women who procure it, sowing spiritual
confusion and pain throughout families and communities. God does
not and would never call on Christians to kill innocent lives
and inflict physical and spiritual harm.
Furthermore, abortion
dehumanizes the unborn and offends the sacredness of human life.
A fetus is neither a clump of cells nor a burdensome health
problem to be gotten rid of in a clinic. From the moment of
conception, every human life is endowed by God with inalienable
dignity and worth. As Psalm 139:13b-14a (ESV) proclaims with
joy, "You knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you,
for I am wonderfully and fearfully made." No human being could
ever possibly have a right to kill an unborn life that God has
made to praise Him for His greatness and glory.
One of the most
touching and awe-inspiring moments in the gospel comes when Mary
visits Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Both women are
pregnant at the time: one with the savior of mankind, the other
with the holy man who would prepare the way for Jesus' coming.
When Elizabeth heard Mary coming, the baby in her womb "leaped
for joy" (Luke 1:44b). Can a clump of cells do that? Is there
any clearer statement than this that unborn life participates
fully in God's plan for mankind?
Article in Harvard Law Journal concludes: The preborn
child is a constitutional person -By
Calvin Freiburger - ...Josh Craddock concludes that there is only one
proper constitutional approach to abortion: If prenatal life is
to be protected under the Fourteenth Amendment, Congress or the
courts must intervene in states that do not guarantee equal
protection and due process to preborn human beings. After all,
“the [Fourteenth] amendment was designed to limit state power
and authorize Congress to enforce such limitations.” Should a
state refuse to protect prenatal life, it would be a violation
of equal protection[.]

The Pro-Life Women’s Clinic That Wants to ‘Replace Planned
Parenthood’ — And Might Do It - By DUSTIN SIGGINS: “Women
see our signs that say, ‘Walk-ins Welcome,’ ‘Unexpected
Pregnancy Solutions At No Charge,’ ‘Pregnancy Verification At No
Cost To Our Clients,’ they come in. Because they’re looking for
hope, and they’re looking for a professional, confidential
setting that will provide them true alternatives. We see
walk-ins every week, of women who have said, ‘I’m so glad I
found this place, I’m so glad that there’s resources, I’m so
glad I’m not alone.” According to Swindell, the “Stanton
Revolution” is totally privately funded, and all services —
including, but not limited to, ultrasounds, housing assistance,
counseling and adoption — are free. And unlike Planned
Parenthood, which gets approximately $540 million annually from
various government sources across the U.S., “we are completely
and totally 100 percent privately funded,” explains Swindell.
What Really Happens in the 4 Most
Common Abortion Procedures
- By
BRIAN GOTTSTEIN/LIVE ACTION "This unique window into the
womb dispels the myth that abortions remove 'clumps of cells,'
and instead shows that they kill real children with beating
hearts and forming brains at just 3 1/2 weeks gestation," Live
Action president and founder Lila Rose said.
Jeremiah 20:17 - "Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me."
Ecclesiastes 11:5 - "As you know not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so you know not the works of God who makes all."
War
on Women: Planned Parenthood Killed About 438
Unborn Baby Girls Per Day - By
Terry Jeffrey - In its latest annual report,
Planned Parenthood revealed that it killed
327,653 unborn babies in its abortion clinics in
fiscal 2013. It also stated that in the year
that ended on June 30, 2014 it received $524.8
million -- or 41 percent of its total funding --
from the government. According to the Oversight
Committee, the Congressional Budget Office has
estimated Planned Parenthood gets about $450
million per year in federal funding. Nor does
Planned Parenthood deny -- as revealed in a
series of recently released videos -- that it
harvests tissue from some of the unborn babies
it kills. For Americans who respect innocent
life, one obvious question is this: Why is
Congress taking hard-earned money from American
families struggling to raise their own children
in a safe and decent environment and handing it
over to a group that kills hundreds of thousands
of babies per year and sometimes cuts out their
organs?
...In calendar 2013, according to the CDC, 1,049 male babies were
born for each 1,000 female babies. That means
approximately 48.8 percent of the babies born
that year were girls and 51.2 percent were boys.
Assuming the 327,653 unborn babies Planned
Parenthood killed in fiscal 2013 tracked the
same male-female ratio as the babies born in
calendar 2013, then Planned Parenthood would
have aborted 159,895 baby girls and 167,758 baby
boys. That would mean Planned Parenthood killed
about 438 unborn baby girls per day and 460
unborn baby boys. The United States suffered
58,220 fatal military casualties during the war
in Vietnam, according to the National Archives.
Planned Parenthood's one-year abortion total of
327,653 is about 5.6 times greater than the
casualties this nation suffered in Vietnam.
Abortion and why the Catholic Church was targeted - By Terry T. Beatley is President of the Hosea Initiative and author of What If We’ve Been Wrong? Keeping My Promise to America’s “Abortion King.” Clare Ruff is Hosea Initiative’s Vice-President of Events and Outreach.
This
article contains the very moving story of one
man’s sin, repentance and redemption. That man
was Dr. Bernard Nathanson (1926-2011). He was
arguably one of the most influential
practitioners and proponents of abortion in the
late 1960s into the 1970s. Then one day he saw a
human baby in the womb moving in an ultrasound
video. And he felt convicted that, despite all
of the reasons that he had proposed in favor of
abortion, that aborting human beings was morally
wrong. And this conviction led him thereafter to
become a powerful voice in favor of the right to
life of the unborn. In the 1980s he was the
narrator for the film “The Silent Scream.” And
years later, as an old man, he told a young
woman who came to interview him the story of his
conversion and repentance. That woman was Terry
Beatley, and this is
her
story of their encounter. The article appears in
the October edition of Inside the
Vatican magazine.
[NARAL's Executive Director Lawrence] Lader also modeled his anti-Catholic bigotry after the queen of racism and eugenics, Margaret Sanger, the founder of the Birth Control Federation of America (later renamed Planned Parenthood). She started her dirty deeds in 1916 as a fallen-away Catholic whose socialist father taught her to despise the Church. In the early 1920s, she strategically pitted Protestants against Catholics over the issue of contraception. By 1939, she launched the “Negro Project,” an aggressive plan to reduce the black race by pushing birth control and sterilization onto minority communities under the guise of women’s healthcare. In the late 1950s, she led the charge for a little white pill which fueled an era of unfettered promiscuity and out-of-wedlock births. Then, she passed the baton of abhorrence of the Catholic Church to Lader, her biographer and admirer, who soon thereafter partnered with Nathanson to form NARAL. The story of how Dr. Bernard Nathanson and the other founders of NARAL deceitfully popularized abortion by intentionally undermining the Catholic Church and its bishops. Far too many are unaware of this history. Terry Beatley, the author, interviewed Dr. Nathanson who gave her a first hand account of their 4 step diabolical "Catholic strategy." (Miraculously, Nathanson, an atheist and America's "abortion king," had become pro-life and had converted to Catholicism.)
...As Dr. Nathanson recounted it, everything was in place “for the portrayal of the Catholic Church as a political force, for the use of anti-Catholicism as a political instrument, and for the manipulation of Catholics themselves by splitting them and setting them against each other.” (Ibid., p. 181) Let it be said: The Church helped us in NARAL. The papal encyclical of 1968 [Humane Vitae] denying both abortion and contraception to Catholics was a bonanza for us at NARAL at precisely the correct moment in history. By linking abortion and contraception in the encyclical, the Vatican made it impossible for those Catholics who were using birth control to split off the abortion issue, therefore leaving them to pick their own way through the confusing ethical and theological landscape.” (Ibid., p. 189) The leap from practicing contraception to supporting legalized abortion proved an easy one.

10 Mind-Blowing Images Of Human Life In The Womb
(PersonhoodUSA) You started your life in the
womb. And you won’t believe your eyes when you
see these incredible images of human development
before birth!
1. At just 4 days after fertilization …wordpress.com
- What? That zygote doesn’t look human? Well,
scientifically, it is! It’s growing, so it must
be alive. It has human parents, so it must be
human. In fact, since fertilization, that zygote
has possessed a predetermined sex (it’s a girl!)
and her own unique set of human DNA. Her DNA
will guide her body’s development over the next
nine months (and its entire lifetime!).
Remember, don’t judge or discriminate against
other human beings just because they don’t look
like us!
2. At just 5-6 weeks of gestation (image at right) …nanobiotechnews.com
- Despite being only a quarter of an inch long,
her nose, mouth, and ears are already taking
shape! Her heart is beating about 100 times a
minute (almost twice as fast as yours) and blood
is beginning to circulate through her body.
Brain waves have been detectable for at least
2-3 weeks already
Almost 900 doctors sign Dublin Declaration, affirm abortion is not maternal health - By Thaddeus Baklinski - ...Unveiled at the International Symposium on Maternal Healthcare in Dublin, Ireland, the Declaration states: “As experienced practitioners and researchers in obstetrics and gynaecology, we affirm that direct abortion – the purposeful destruction of the unborn child – is not medically necessary to save the life of a woman. ...Signatory Dr. Eoghan de Faoite told LifeSiteNews there is a fundamental difference between life saving treatment a woman may need during pregnancy, and abortion, which is the direct and intentional taking of the life of the unborn child. "The Dublin Declaration clarifies this quite succinctly," he said. He pointed out that through the Dublin Declaration, obstetricians, gynecologists, neonatologists, pediatricians and other doctors from across the specialties of medicine and surgery testify that a country does not need legalized abortion in order to preserve maternal health and reduce maternal mortality. ...Further information on the Dublin Declaration and the list of signatories is available here.
Fetid Fruits of Feminism Written
By Laurie
Higgins - Hillary Clinton infamously said
that abortion should be legal, safe, and rare.
She also said that conception marks the
beginning of “potential life.” If the union of
egg and sperm, which creates
something actual that possesses the full genetic
code of a new human being, does not in Clinton’s
view mark the start of an actual human life, one
wonders when Clinton thinks potential life
becomes actual life. Perhaps this short and remarkable
video can illuminate for Clinton a truth
about the actual lives of preborn babies the
intentional killings of which should not be rare
but unthinkable: Some intrepid reporter should
then ask Clinton these questions:
- Does this video depict an actual human being?
- Does this human being have any inherent rights based on his or
her status as a human?
- Does the absence of full development abrogate a person’s right to
exist?
- Does a person’s location abrogate his or her right to exist?
- If one person’s right to control her reproductive system comes
into direct conflict with the right of another
human (less mature, less free, and more
vulnerable) simply to exist, which is a right of
a higher moral order?
- Is the legal right to have one’s child killed in utero progress?
Or does the legalization of the “right” to
legally kill one’s own child demonstrate the
expansive capacity of humans to rationalize
evil?
Though the most loathsome of all the fetid fruits of feminism,
abortion is just one of many. Feminism, which
gave America dead babies on a metaphorical
platter gilded with silver-tongued sophistry,
has rarely been noted for either its moral
rectitude or intellectual consistency. While
feminists claim to value women, most support the
murder of preborn girls. While they claim to
value female empowerment, many support the
objectification of women through pornography.
While they claim to value freedom, choice, and
diversity, many derogate the choice of unselfish
domesticity and ridicule those who believe
sexual activity is appropriate only between one
man and one woman within the context of conjugal
marriage.
It’s hard to believe that so many Americans have been duped by what
is commonly referred to as “second wave” and
“third wave” (with its worship of gender
ambiguity and “sex positivity”) feminism into
believing that women in the 21stCentury are
better off than women in, say, the 1950’s. Yes,
in the 1950’s it was difficult for women to
enter male-dominated professions or rise to the
upper echelons of corporate America, men made
sexist jokes, and little women couldn’t play
peewee football. But…
- In the 1950’s, women weren’t slaughtering 1,300,000 of their own
babies every year, approximately half of which
are girl babies whose own mothers rob them of
their right to an “empowered” existence.
- According to the Guttmacher Institute, the maternal death toll
due to illegal abortions in 1950 was 300, and by
1965, eight years before Roe v. Wade legalized
abortion in every state without restriction,
deaths due to illegal abortions dropped to just
under 200. “Progressives” think the
intentional killing of 56 million babies is
justified to prevent the unintentional deaths of
9,600 women—all in the name of freedom, choice,
and empowerment (also known as selfishness).
- Women in the 1950’s weren’t so delusional as to believe that
appearing in pornography constitutes
empowerment.
- Women in the 1950’s weren’t so delusional as to believe that
watching porn with their boyfriends and husbands
is healthy and good.
- The concept of “feminist porn” would have been both oxymoronic
and moronic to most pre-1960’s women who held
modesty and self-respect in higher esteem and,
therefore, would have recoiled at the
objectification of women that “feminist porn”
represents for both actors and viewers.
- One in three women in the 1950’s weren’t raising their children
without fathers.
Feminists have helped women scale boardroom walls and smash glass
ceilings to smithereens. They’ve helped women
tear up basketball courts during their college
years. And they’ve made it possible for little
girls everywhere to achieve their lifelong
dreams of serving in combat and stripping naked
to have sex on camera for the lascivious eyes of
men and now of women who are becoming more like
men in their most brutish states.
Pay no attention to the bloody, dismembered
bodies of tiny humans whose brutal killings
represent freedom and empowerment to women who
have become both more selfish and more enslaved
to men, the government, and their own untethered
appetites.

The video politicians who support legal abortion don't want you
or anyone else to see!
Fr. Frank Pavone - Priests for Life/Gospel of Life
Ministries - In truth, they fear this video more
than anything because it shows the inhumane cruelty and barbarity of the
abortion procedure. It puts the spotlight of the abortion "debate" right where
it needs to be ... on what abortion does to the child in the womb! After all, if
we're going to debate abortion in this country, let�s make sure everyone knows
exactly what we're talking about. Sadly, the word abortion has lost its meaning.
That's why politicians can get away with making themselves sound appealing to
voters when they say they support the legality of abortion ... or of a woman's
so-called "right to choose." But when people come to see and know
what actually happens during an abortion, then a woman's "right to choose" takes
on a different feel. That said, if you are serious about wanting to end
abortion,
click here to watch the short video that has sent shock waves through the
abortion industry, and to learn more about the project we are launching this
election season! Make no mistake: This video has the power to literally end
abortion! The response has already been overwhelming. Pro-life activists
have been re-energized. Fence-sitters have been awakened to the true horror of
abortion. And even abortion advocates have been converted. If you have trouble

"The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to The Republican Citizens of Washington County, Maryland, 1809
"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish." --Mother Teresa
It's Not Legal by Mario Diaz - Abortion is not legal. It can never be. No matter what the Supreme Court has said, the fact is that the right to life is inalienable.
Blood Money: The Economics of the Abortion Industry By Kristia Cavere - RightWingNews.com -On this 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, one aspect that the pro-life community must continually remind our fellow countrymen of is the economics of the abortion industry. Similar to a successful corporation, the billion dollar infanticide business is the result of one of the most successful marketing campaigns in American history. This "silent holocaust" where 3,500 American babies are aborted daily, is the ultimate exploitation of women. But the people who work at abortion clinics, and the politicians who sustain and encourage such establishments, earn a living by selling abortion through perpetuating the two great lies: a fetus is not a baby, and abortion is good for the woman. For money and power, such individuals are fighting to save themselves by killing innocents.
The pro-life documentary Blood Money: the Business of Abortion details how that industry is thriving financially. Carol Everett, the former owner of independent abortion clinics who was interviewed for the film, stated that the primary motivation for those entering that business is a desire to make money, therefore, they skillfully market their product to sell it to women in crisis. Ms. Everett stated that pro-choice advocates want the breakdown of the family and encourage sexual education, knowing those two situations would increase the likelihood of teenage girls being sexually active. Abortion clinics offer a sense of false security through their distribution of birth control. However, they dispense the cheapest condoms and birth control pills with the lowest dose of hormones knowing that such contraception will have a higher rate of failure. The goal, stated Carol Everett, is three to five abortions when the girl was between thirteen and eighteen years old.
OnlineForLife.org developed this insightful quiz about abortion. It’s worth a few moments of your time to see just how much you know about women seeking abortions and the abortion industry. It may shock you. Then consider spreading this blog post link around to as many people as possible — especially those who are ambivalent to the life. ...Almost half (48%) of all abortions are performed in the United States on women who have had a previous abortion—and 6 in 10 women who have abortions are already mothers! Abortion is being used in our country as birth control—especially for those in low-income situations. One of the main arguments for abortion is that it should be allowed in situations of incest and rape. However, abortions related to these situations account for less than 2% of all abortions performed in the United States each year.
After 41 years of Roe - Pro-Aborts still trying to Justify Murder Rev
Michael Bresciani - Walk with me through one more list of pro-abortionist
justifications and the answer to each of them. These answers are not mine, but
have been born of the concerted effort of many brave, decent, loving and highly
intelligent people who have carefully examined the product of 41 years of Roe v.
Wade. Each section starts with the typical Pro-abort reasoning or excuse to
justify and continue in the slaughter of an entire generation.
- It’s part of women’s health – What part of death is healthy to
anyone? Denying the right to abort is part of a ‘war against women.’ – No women
are dying in this war – only their children are dying. Are they using their
children as shields as do all cowards? Have they engaged in the only war in
world history where the warriors go on living and only their children die? Is
this the new definition for - perversion?
- It’s my body, only I can decide what happens to it. – It is the
only body on earth to have 8 limbs, two brains and matching organs and of course
- two hearts. Gee – think it may be two bodies after all? It is not a living
human being, but only a lump of fleshy material. – Almost every state in the
union has a criterion to determine when a human being is completely dead. When
all brain activity ceases the person is said to be clinically dead. Does that
mean that when a fetus develops brain activity between 6 to 12 weeks, depending
on whose study you reference, they are fully alive? Has anyone checked lately to
see if the abortionist’s have any appreciable brain activity?
- It’s the law of the land – Dredd
Scott was also the law of the land at one time. A law which determined that
black people - are not human! Can the Supreme Court make a supreme mistake; is
Roe v. Wade another grand goof-up? If they had enough good sense to reverse
Dredd Scott and prohibition, can they find the resolve to back up on Roe? God
help them – it is so long overdue.
- Obama: abortion can help daughters ‘fulfill their dreams’ – This
statement was made in a White House press release on January 22, 2012. Although
the debate about whether Obama is a Muslim or a Christian continues, it is for
certain he is no biblical theologian. He has ignored one of the most recurring
and fundamental teaching of the scripture. It is sometimes called the ‘law of
reciprocation,’ but in lay terms, it is known as the law of ‘reaping and sowing’
Jesus Christ made it so clear that a child could understand it. To wit:
“For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” (Mt 7: 2) No one will defy
this law; it is active today and will be to the last day. You will not ever
realize your dream at the expense of another, especially if the other is a
perfectly innocent developing human being.
Video: ABQ
Woman Shares from Experience Why Fetal Anomalies Are No Justification for
Late-term Abortion -- /Christian
Newswire/ -- On the weekend before a municipal election that will determine
if Albuquerque, New Mexico, will become the first city in the nation ban
abortions after 20 weeks, a woman has come forward in a new video to tell why,
when faced with a prenatal diagnosis of a child with severe fetal anomalies, she
heroically rejected pressure to abort her son, Chance. Calling the bid to end
late-term abortion a "humanitarian issue," Chantel Stuckman told of the
heart-wrenching moment when she and her husband were told that her 24 week
pre-born son had deformities so severe that he was not expected to live. While
her doctors did not demand that she abort, they pressured her to rapidly make a
life or death decision.
Having had an abortion as a teen that she deeply regrets, Chantel
knew that this baby must be given a chance at life, however slim. "Chance was
diagnosed with hydrocephaly and other conditions that often lead to abortions
out of a misguided concern that the parents don't want their child to suffer,"
said Tara Shaver, Chairperson of ABQ Voters For Late Term Abortion Ban.
"Aborting babies who are sick or disabled isn't something a compassionate
society should do. We should let life take its course, and when we do, sometimes
unexpected blessings come from what seems at first like tragedy."
Chantel agrees, noting that doctors told her that her son would not
survive, but he did. They said he would never walk, talk, or read, but he can do
all three. "I think that all children struggle," said Chantell. "And I don't
think that killing them is ever our first option. I don't think we look at a
child who's going through drug abuse and say, 'You know, they're really
struggling. Maybe it would be better if I killed him.' I don't think we look at
a child who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and say, 'Well, maybe we should
just kill him because their suffering is going to be too much.' So I don't see
the fact that a child may or may not suffer as a reason to end their life."
Today, Chance is a happy 14-year old teen who is a joy to all who
know him. Chantel supports the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Ordinance
because she understands more than most the heartbreak of a poor fetal diagnosis
-- and that abortion is not the answer. In a new video, produced by Shaver and
Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue, Chantel urges Albuquerque voters to
support the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Ordinance for the sake of
children like Chance.

The most heartrending abortion testimony you’ll ever hear, from a former
abortionist BY JOHN
JALSEVAC (See video and text of testimony
here.) - Martin Fox, President National Pro-Life Alliance summary: If there ever was graphic testimony
detailing the horrors of abortion, those attending the recent hearing on the
Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act heard it firsthand. Dr. Anthony
Levatino, OB/Gyn, who had performed more than 1,200 abortions, testified before
the House Subcommittee on the Constitution to his change of heart after
suffering the searing pain from the death of his own child.
Dr. Levatino was speaking at a House hearing on H.R. 1797, the
"Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act." This bill that would ban abortions
based on the extreme pain that the unborn go through during an abortion
procedure. But Dr. Anthony didn't just speak in sterile medical terms about
abortions.
Rather, he told with excruciating detail of how he would perform a D&E
abortion, even showing some of the medical instruments during his testimony for
emphasis.
He went step by horrid step in his description, telling of how he
would literally pull the baby apart to remove it from the mother's womb, and
then how he would put it back together after he was done, like some kind of gory
jigsaw puzzle, to make sure he had removed all of the dead child.
While this may be awful to read, I think it is something that every
rational adult needs to hear, especially those who insist that an unborn child
is just a "blob of tissue." Levatino added "If you refuse to believe that this
procedure inflicts severe pain on that unborn child, please think again." He
also addressed the abortion lobby's crocodile tears in regards to late-term
abortions to "save the life of the mother," calling it out for the sham that it
was.
Susan B. Anthony quoted in The Revolution, July 1869: "I deplore the horrible crime of child-murder... No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; But oh! Thrice guilty is he who...drove her to the desperation which impels her to the crime."

Mother Teresa was quoted in The Wall Street Journal 1994 saying, "America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts -- a child -- as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters."
