And then there are stories from the opposite side:
“Another thing that bothered me as I went about my work at the clinic was the fact that I had seen an ultrasound abortion. We did first trimester abortions. This was a late first trimester, probably second trimester. I handled the ultrasound while the doctor performed the procedure and I directed him while I was watching the screen. I saw the baby pull away. I saw the baby open his mouth. I had seen the Silent Scream a number of times, but it didn’t effect me. To me it was just more pro-life propaganda. But I couldn’t deny what I saw on the screen.”
–Joan Appleton, former clinic worker
“One night a lady delivered and I was called to come and see her because she was ‘uncontrollable.’ I went into the room, and she was going to pieces; she was having a nervous breakdown, screaming and thrashing. The other patients were upset because this lady was screaming. I walked in, and here was this little saline abortion baby kicking. It had been born alive, and was kicking and moving for a little while before it finally died of those terrible burns, because the salt solution gets into the lungs and burns the lungs too. I’ll tell you one thing about D& E . You never have to worry about a baby’s being born alive. I won’t describe D & E , other than to say that, as a doctor, you are sitting there tearing, and I mean tearing- you need a lot of strength to do it- arms and legs off of babies and putting them in a stack on top of the table.”
–Dr. David Brewer of Glen Ellyn Illinois
“In fact many women will come to me considering abortion, and I have been personally told that I am to turn the monitor away from her view so that seeing her baby jump around on the screen does not influence her choice.”
Shari Richards, quoted from the John Ankerburg Show on 3/7/90
“Nobody wants to perform abortions after ten weeks, because by then you see the features of the baby, hands, feet. It’s really barbaric.”
–abortionist quoted in M.D. Doctors Talk About Themselves by John Pekkanen p 93
Lost of similar quotes and stories from abortion providers here, from an obviously biased site. Forgive me if I don’t consider doctors who provide abortions to be heroes.
