Abortion, rights of choice for only some women? When do fetuses deserve Human Rights?

Did you know?

A baby will die every 21.4 seconds from abortion in the U.S.
...that is a third of all infant deaths & over 1 & 1/2 million babies vanquished each year.
The infanticide of partial birth abortion is still committed due to a veto of a bill which would have hampered it, and due to these senators votes.
"If a doctor will take money for killing the innocent in the womb, he will kill you with a needle when paid by your children." -- Dr. R.A. Gallop.
Since abortion was legalized in 1973, the number of reported cases of child abuse has increased by 1,497 per cent, from 167,000 in 1973 to 2.5 million in 1991.

After 9 weeks, unborn babies can feel pain, yet 48% of all abortions are done after this point. {US Department of Health & Human Services}
"By all the criteria of modern molecular biology, life is present from the moment of conception."

"An abortion kills the life of a baby after it has begun. It is dangerous to your life and health."

"They took that little baby that was making little sounds and moving and kicking, and set it on that table in a cold, stainless steel bowl. Every time I would look over while we were repairing the incision in uterus and finishing the Caesarean, I would see that little person moving in that bowl. And it kicked and moved less and less, of course, as time went on. I can remember going over and looking at the baby when we were done with the surgery and the baby was still alive. You could see the chest was moving and the heart was beating, and the baby would try to take a little breath, and it really hurt inside, and it began to educate me as to what abortion really was."

quoted in "Pro-Choice 1990: Skeletons in the Closet"

"The doctors would remove the fetus while performing hysterotomies and then lay it on the table, where it would squirm until it died. ..They all had perfect forms and shapes. I couldn't take it. No nurse could."

--Joyce Craig, director of a Brooklyn clinic of Planned Parenthood. who assisted in abortion for two months, then quit. "Rachel Weeping" James Brtchaell, ed 1982 p 34

"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

"Saline abortions have to be done in the hospital because of the complications that can arise. Not that they can't arise during other times, but more so now. The saline, a salt solution, is injected into the woman's sac, and the baby starts dying a slow, violent death. The mother feels everything, and many times it is at this point when she realizes that she really has a live baby inside her, because the baby starts fighting violently, for his or her life. He's just fighting inside because he's burning."

--Debra Harry

"If I see a case...after twenty weeks, where it frankly is a child to me, I really agonize over it because the potential is so imminently there...On the other hand, I have another position, which I think is superior in the hierarchy of questions, and that is "who owns this child?" It's got to be the mother."

--Dr. James MacMahon, who performs D & X abortions. In Nat Hentoff's "It's Just Too Late: Third Trimester abortions are an Outrage and an Insult to the Human Race" July 27, 1993 Pittsburg Post-Gazette

"A lot of people say they're killing their babies. You get a lot of that. Some people afterwards are very upset and say, " I killed my baby" ...well, they are killing a baby..."

--Dora Greenwald, M.S.W.

"95 percent of women who have had abortions said that their Planned Parenthood counselors gave them " . . . little or no information about the fetus which the abortion would destroy."

--From Aborted Women-Silent No More by David Reardon, Crossway Books, 1987

"If a woman we were counseling expressed doubts about having an abortion, we would say whatever was necessary to persuade her to abort immediately."

--Judy W., former office manager of the second largest abortion clinic in El Paso, Texas. Dr. Magda Denes "Performing Abortions" Commentary Oct 26, pp 35-37

"From May to November 1988, I worked for an abortionist. He specializes in third trimester killings. I witnessed evidence of the brutal, cold blooded murder of over 600 viable, healthy babies at seven, eight and nine months gestation. A very, very few of these babies, less than 2%, were handicapped...I thought I was pro-choice and I was glad to be working in an abortion clinic. I thought I was helping provide a noble service to women in crisis....I was instructed to falsify the age of the babies in medical records. I was required to lie to the mothers over the phone, as they scheduled their appointments, and to tell them that they were not 'too far along' Then I had to note, in the records that Dr. Tiller's needle had successfully pierced the walls of the baby's heart, injecting the poison what brought death...one day, Dr. Tiller came up the stairs from the basement, where the mothers were in labor. He was carrying a large cardboard box, and ducked into the employees only area of the office so that he wouldn't have to walk through the waiting room. He passed behind my desk as I sat working on the computer, and he turned the corner to go around a short hall. He called out for me to come and help him. the box was so big and heavy in his arms that he couldn't get the key into the lock. So I unlocked the door for him, and , pushing the door open, I saw very clearly the gleaming metal of the crematorium- a full sized crematorium, just like the one's used in funeral homes. I went back to my computer. I could hear Dr. Tiller firing up the gas oven. A few minutes later I could smell burning human flesh. Mine was the agony of a participant, however reluctant, in the act of prenatal infanticide."

--Luhra Tivis, now a member of Operation Rescue, on her experience in the abortion business. Quoted in Celebrate Life Sept/Oct 1994 "Where is the Real Violence?"

For a moment, let us set aside some of the often blind passions about abortion and allow our minds to honestly consider this simple analogy about a baby chicken...

Would it be the taking of a life of a baby chicken, to fry an omelet after taking an egg from the hen house?

What if you left that egg to develop, and came back before the chick started to peck its way out, and literately took a knife and plugged it through the egg, and into its body as it writhed in pain?

Would that be the killing of a baby chick? Yes?
