23rd July 2007

    200 years ago a slave trader's eyes were suddenly opened and he finally saw what others had seen all along. All people were created, not evolved from slime, and were considered equal in their Creator's eyes, regardless of their skin colour.

    This man, John Newton, penned a song regarding his experience, "Amazing Grace". This was during a time when blacks were considered sub-human (and truth be known, still are). They weren't classed as people. This is similar to the thought patterns pro-aborts have towards unborn children.

    William Wilberforce did what was considered impossible, he repelled the slavery laws in England, saving hundreds of thousands of lives.

    The 'abortion' holocaust is nearing that pinnacle of change. Momentum is building and as long as you don't live in a wardrobe you would be feeling it too. Pro-aborts are nervous as they stand on the threshold of their little house of cards toppling over.

    Years from now, people will look back in horror at a demonic 'society' that demanded the executions of millions of little defenceless children.

    Amazing Grace launches this month in Australia. Go and see it!

I think often of the baby who came into my life at an inconvenient time, and who I decided to kill. I think of him with feelings of grief, guilt, and loneliness. This year, this month of July, he (I always knew it was a boy) would have been 24. He was conceived in October, aborted in December. I killed him even though I looked in a biology book and saw the fetus pictures. But, I had been raised in a "good" home where there just aren't out-of-wedlock babies. There was not a father in the picture. (It was casual sex with the use of a condom that didn't work.) The guy denied it was his and said he would not help at all. I was studying to be a teacher. I thought of all those women who have a baby and that becomes their life, and they become secluded. I was afraid of that.  

Part of me wanted a baby, but because abortion was legal, I figured it was a viable option. I knew there was a life in me, I knew if I gave birth to the child I couldn't give it up, but I also just couldn't keep it, I thought. So, the quick-fix seemed right. The problem was, they told me the pregnancy wasn't far enough along to abort, so they made me wait about 5 weeks before doing it. I was "showing" when I had it done! I've always been convinced I was farther along than they thought, and that I killed a being who was physically quite formed.  

I feel his presence sometimes, and I'm not so sure it's a loving presence. I don't think he can forgive me. There is a family member missing, and I know that. It is such a burden to know that I have paid to have someone kill my child. How can this be legal? As Mother Theresa said, it's a holocaust....  

I believe that someday in heaven I'll meet the son I killed. I pray that there will be forgiveness for me, and that I can at last hold him and spend eternity getting to know him. If I could go back, I would let him live! A song was popular at the time, "Turn on Your Heart Light." I wish I would have turned mine on in time, and walked out of that abortion clinic before they sucked my baby from my body. The only counseling I got was afterwards, when the doctor said to me, "I'm sure you had good reasons for doing this."  

But for all these years I have grieved. Killing my child has not made my life better, but has given me a wound that does not heal, and a secret shame that causes me to grieve alone.  

God bless all of you women like me who have been wounded by abortion, and all the children who have been snuffed out. And if you're thinking of abortion, try to love that living person who is already there, whether you can see him or her, or not. As difficult as it may be, that baby is already yours. Paying someone to kill it does not erase the fact of motherhood. This child needs a mother to protect her from harm.

G'day jf,

    Thank you for taking the time to tell your experience. The media and some twisted, evil and ignorant people are continually hurting women and destroying families and lives with their pro-'abortion' propaganda. Women and society need more victims from this terror campaign to stand against the death camps within our cities. Jf, continue to speak out, refuse to be silenced, fight back against these terrorists. Americans murder more of their own children each day than were killed on 9/11 - So, who are the real terrorists? 

    This site should be helpful to you: http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org/ I appreciate you taking the time to stand in defence of unborn children. Believe me, lives will be saved due to you revealing the truth of 'abortion'. Please consider placing an AbortionTV sticker on your car.      http://www.abortiontv.com/Misc/HowToContribute.htm

    God knows, kids lives depend on it!

                                                                                                                                            Peter Erbacher

Dear JF,  

I am sorry you regret your decision. I do however think you were more than educated on the subject. You admit you did research, but then say because it was legal it was an option. Your right it is an option, but it was not the right one for you.  

I don't smoke, yet it is legal. I CHOOSE not to. I do not blame others for things I have control of. You had control and you made a choice. Stop blaming propaganda for your decision. This is the year 2007 and abortion is brought up in every political debate. When I drive by the clinic, I see protesters with pictures on the side of the road. As society we know what abortion is and what it consists of.

I hope that you learned from what you feel is a mistake for you. I hope you are either not having sex or have gone on the pill along with using a condom. You are a woman. Be strong, think and take care of yourself.

This is an honest question, that I haven't seem to get a straight answer on from any body.  it's jus a curious question of mine, that maybe you guys can answer.  don't get me wrong, I'm not really for or against abortion, I think its a women's choice. I would choose giving up the baby for adoption before abortion. but anyway, what about the rape victims who get pregnant?? and they aren't financially stable to take care of a baby, and cant take maternity leave?? I know there's the morning after pill, but some think that even birth control [the pill]  is wrong, so wouldn't the morning after pill be considered a form of abortion or wrong? so, if u can get back to me on that, that would be great. thank you.

AY 

You are correct, the MAP, “morning after pill” may be abortive.  It is a treatment which aims to prevent pregnancy by temporarily stopping eggs from being produced, by stopping fertilization, or by stopping implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus (MAP working in this manner is abortive).  Further, the “hard cases,” e.g. rape and incest, represent less than 1.5% of all abortions – as the majority are performed as a form of birth control.  In addition, studies continually reveal that women who aborted their baby conceived in rape regret the decision.  Of those giving an opinion, 94 percent of rape victims and 100 percent of incest victims said abortion was not a good option for other women in their situation. (see study).

AbortionTV

I chose abortion when I was raped at 15.  I turned around and did it at 17, when I was raped again.  I call myself "pro-choice" as well.  You make your own choices.  Honestly, in a situation like that I should have chosen adoption.  Knowing the situation would not have been prime for me to raise a child in, (I also had a bad family life during all of that) it would have been best for the baby, and a childless couple could be raising a baby.  News Flash from a Morning after Pill Taker...............IT DOESN'T WORK as well as the medical media and the regular media portray.  I have taken the morning after pill and 3 months later was still pregnant.  So using the MAP is not and shouldn't be a safety net.

Dear AY:  

I wanted to research some of your questions. While it would be with prejudice if a pregnant woman were fired or not hired due to her condition I am sure it happens everyday. However, it is against the law. In 1993 the Family and Medical Leave Act was passed.  

The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (Pub.L. 103-3, enacted February 5, 1993) is a United States labor law allowing an employee to take unpaid leave due to a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform his job or to care for a sick family member or to care for a new son or daughter (including by birth, adoption or foster care). It was one of the first major bills signed by President Bill Clinton in his first term, fulfilling a campaign promise.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_and_Medical_Leave_Act 

I am an advocate of Emergency Contraception. Please note that this is not the "abortion pill". ER must be taken within 72 hours of the unprotected sexual act. Abortion tv provided how the pill works. If you believe that life begins at fertilization then you should take the chance with ER. There are side effects but till now no deaths have occurred nor have I seen any horror stories or emotional regrets sent in to this site or others about people and their experience with ER. I have seen letters concerning people who will not distribute this because of their ethical views. Now that ER is available to all over 18 without a prescription it should hopefully reduce the abortion number. If a woman is already pregnant...it will NOT abort the pregnancy. It can take up to a week for an egg to attach itself to a uterine wall. So obviously the sooner the better when taking ER.  

Regarding rape and incest, I am not a fan of stats. This site will produce them when it works for them. So here are some that have nothing to do with abortion but do you believe every rape is reported? Not even close.  

  61% of rapes/sexual assaults are not reported to the police. Those rapists, of course, never serve a day in prison. (1999 NCVS)

 Wow...it takes a tremendous amount of strength and courage for a woman to accuse a man of rape. You can us all the stats you want...women do not report rapes. So to make an assumption of how many abortions are because of rape would be inaccurate. Also, note that most hospitals do offer ER to rape victims, which if taken within 72 hours will eliminate the decision of having an abortion. Which, as said by this site, can be just as traumatic as the rape itself.  

We learned this past election that as much as this country would like to have abortion restrictions they are in no way shape or form ready to make it illegal or are they ready to take out the option for rape and incest. This in essence was why potentially the toughest law on the books was rejected by the people of South Dakota.  

In short you must decide what you believe in and what is right for your and your family. That is why we have the ability to choose.

Cordially,

MSG

My girlfriend has had 2 abortions. The first one , we both regretted, so we planned to have one and keep it. She got pregnant and then her parents told her to get rid of it.

So behind my back, she went to the clinic and had it done and IM SO DEPRESSED. SO HURT. 

Her parents are evil. 

She got pregnant again and now is thinking about a third abortion , PLEASE HELP HER by emailing me and I will forward the response to her.

WM

G'day WM, 

This is for you and everyone else who is suffering from the ramifcations of 'abortion'.

                                        http://www.survivorsofabortion.org.au/loved.html

I'm sorry mate, I don't think there is much I could do for you. What you can do however, even if you can't save the life of your third child, is to fight this institution of terror. It really is no trouble to order an AbortionTV.com bumper sticker and put it on your car. You can make a difference. We are turning the tide and winning the war on terror. Join the fight, and put this evil back into the dark ages.

All the best mate, let us know how it's going. Stay in touch.

Peter Erbacher

Dear WM

25 June 2007 

There is no way to understand this problem, out side of God's Word.  There is no way to deal with this problem, outside of God's revealed Word. 

You mention the word "evil"--not a very popular word in today's postmodern U.S society.  In a philosophy that sees no right and wrong, all do what is right in their own eyes--innocent are murdered-value neutral.  In this view, one cannot see the sanctity of life, the blessing God places in the womb, and the responsibility to care and exersize sacrifical love--an uphill battle in a fallen world.  You see, WM, there is no way to tell what is evil, and what is not, without the revealed Word of God.  As I have said before, when I have addressed this issue, no matter if I write or speak, this is a matter of the heart. 

If you read the first thee chapters of the Genesis account, the over arching theme (main point) is that we are created by God (which is good) but we, as off spring of Adam, are fallen (which is evil).  The modern philosophies of womans' rights--that by passes the sacred gift in the womb--feeds into our fallen nature--and passes the death penelty to the innocent--is the most sincere form of expression of evil.  King Harod (New Testament) tried to have the baby Jesus killed--and this murderous nature is part of our death/self-god/fallen nature--beginning with the first human murder in the afore mentioned Genesis account.  

All I can say WM, is that the problem you see, fleshed out before your eyes--is a spiritual one--in this case--the murder of the innocent life, with the blessing of evil laws that allows it!

WM, get with a Bible beleiving group of people, and pray and try to love this fallen puppet of the culture of death.  Write down your thoughts of the matter in a journal, and keep track of the cultural trends on the issue--on web sites like this one.  As the culture of death attempts to mind-wipe God, His Word and Law (the foundation of U.S. Culture) we will become a more violent nation--and the death toll will increase--in the womb and out side of the womb. 

Despite the attempts to over turn Roe v. Wade (1973) and subsequent laws, we will have to continue to battel the Culture of Death, for it is in the fallen, evil nature of human being to target the weake--and use any human-contireved justification to do so.  Torch the high-sounding human philosophies with the Word of God, and you have sin--in its raw form, and Death (Satan)--and the fleshed-out war on the unborn.   

WM, only the Spirit of the Living God can penetrate an evil heart, and cause change.  No good, biblical based laws and good biblicaly based logic (reason) can do so.  We have an erorading law base in our U.S. culture--and most faithful attenders of Church, remain Bible- illiterates--so, WM. it is an uphill spiritual battle. 

All said and done, there is Hope!  "That if thou shalt canfess with ty mouth, the Lord Jesus, and shat believe in thine heart that God hath raised him for the dead, thou shalt be saved" Romans 10:9.  Death had no ultimate power over Jesus, and that same power that enabled Chirst to rise from the dead, can make one dead in sin, rise from the dead--into spiritual life.  I can make the matter no more clear than my 1611 King James Bible--the heart of the matter is the problem, the heart of the matter is the solution--The Heart of the Living God! 

Roger 

Dear WM,  

Here is what no one is telling you, and if it was your girlfriend was writing it would have been the first thing she was told. KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS!! You and she are pregnant again?? Condoms...you can put one on.  

I am sorry about your losses but you need to take control of the situation and be a man! Obviously you know she has no issue with abortion and you do. Yet you have no issue having unprotected sex with her over and over again. Hey...she is fertile and your sperm can swim...DO SOMETHING!! 

Don't be a hypocrite.

Unfortunately, I chose to have an abortion last November.  It was the worst mistake of my life.  I knew it was wrong, but I tried to cling to the pro-choice rhetoric and believe it would be all over in an hour.  To think I could do something so horrific and believe I could just sweep it under the rug emotionally.   

To any other women out there who are facing a crisis pregnancy and are on the fence about what to do, please do not make the horrible mistake I did.  The grief and remorse are unbearable.  I feel far more sorrow over losing this unborn baby than losing any person who was born, and I have lost a lot of relatives.  At least those people got to live their lives, and I got to know them--unlike my unborn baby whom I killed. 

You might think abortion is a quick fix, but it's not at all.  Far from it!  I felt a whopping 2 hours of relief after the abortion--and several months of ongoing severe depression.   

No matter what your reasons for having the abortion, nothing is worth it.  Anything you choose over your baby will have blood on it.  For instance, one reason I had the abortion was to pursue graduate school. But now, my degree and new career will be tainted by my baby's blood.  I would trade anything to have my baby back now. 

A driving factor in making the decision to abort was that I was under extreme anxiety during the pregnancy.  Anxiety will cause you to think very pessimistically and irrationally, making you more prone to abort.  It is your mind playing tricks on you.  After I had the abortion and the anxiety came down, I realized how completely senseless my abortion was, and I could think of a million solutions of how to have the baby and pursue the other things in life I wanted to pursue. 

If you are experiencing extreme anxiety, there is an antianxiety drug called buspirone (Buspar) which is safe to take during pregnancy.  Ask your doctor about taking it.  I had assumed no drug would be safe to take; I only found out I could have taken buspirone after the pregnancy.  If I had known that before, I might have been able to bring down my anxiety, and my baby might have been saved.  If you do not want to take drugs, other methods to bring down anxiety include hypnosis and acupuncture.  Give them a try.  You cannot make a sound decision if you are under severe anxiety.   

Please don't put yourself through the hell I'm going through now.  If I can save one baby's life and one woman from going through the emotional agony I am now going through, my precious baby's death will not have been in vain.

Hi, i just finished reading some stories of people who have decided not to have an abortion and i cant help but think how many of them have children and then ahhhh my god get pregnant again, what about educating safe sex and protected sex, im against abortion i think it is murder, my sister had one and it changed her she will never be the same person, she has a daughter now and every time she looks at her she wonders if the first child would have looked like her. i also get mad at women who just dont have a brain in their heads and have sex with out thinking then make them selves sound like heroes for not going through with the abortion! your site is good but prevention is the best cure to anything 

Jf

We couldn't agree with you more about prevention being the solution.  Please see our sections on "avoiding it altogether."

AbortionTV

 I do agree with the first step in preventing poor choices is some form of birth control.  I for one will be educating my children about it once they become an age that they can understand it.  I will also provide them birth control that way it is accessible to them.  Communication is the key.   

My local health units here in Louisiana and local doctors' offices provide free condoms.  Free birth control, etc.  I would rather pay for that than "surprise" pregnancy in teens.   

Parents also need to face the fact that regardless of hoping our kids don't have sex, is a hope falling on deaf ears.   

My husband and I can also teach our children what the consequences of not being married and in love when people have sex.  You feel horrible, a baby where the father splits, abortions which might cause you to never have kids again, mental health issues, etc.  My kids also are growing up in a household where my husband and and I chose to have kids young due to my health issues.  It's not easy.  You'd rather have a good job, some sort of stability, etc first.

I am 16 years old and the mother of 2 babies. One of them did not make it. When I was pregnant with my 1^st child I was being pushed into abortion. When I was 9 weeks along I was seriously thinking about aborting him. I was going through everything that most pregnant teens go through. I had jus broke up with my boyfriend, he didn’t want anything to do with the baby, my parents were angry. I just didn’t want to be a teen mother. I didn’t know how I was going to raise a child by myself. I went into depression and started searching the web for information on abortion. I then came to your site an stated looking at all of the pictures and watched all of the videos. Thanks to this site, I changed my mind. I was going to keep my baby. Unfortunately when I was 24 almost 25 weeks I lost the baby. He was with us for 6 hours and then passed. I named him Machia Anthony and he was 2 lbs. 3 oz.  Holding Machia in my arms was the best feeling in the world. I can not believe that I was so close to killing my baby.   

I am now in a happy relationship with a man that I love and we have a 5 week old baby named Zaidyn. Zaidyn was born on April 30^th at 5:30 p.m., he was 7 lbs 10 oz. and 21 inches long.  He is my life. I wouldn’t give him up for anything. I have attached a picture of him when he was about 2 weeks. Thank you for being here for me. If it weren’t for you, my 1^st baby wouldn’t have been born.

Hello, 

I have to say I have never really taken much notice of the abortion issue. I saw a sticker somewhere with ‘abortiontv.com’ on it & decided to check it out. I am very glad I did. I viewed the pictures of aborted babies & cannot grasp the notion that anyone could ever refer to these little people as ‘insignificant tissue’. I have a 14 year old son & I was rather young when I had him (18). Abortion never crossed my mind, although it was raised by some of my family. After visiting your site, I am grateful for my child even more. It could have been so easy to let my family bully me into aborting.

To all the women who struggled with the issue & kept the baby, I hereby award you all a lifetime bouquet of your favourite flowers.

Having said that, I remain pro-choice & to all the women who have felt there was no choice and went through with the abortion, my sympathies & thoughts are with you.

Never ever an easy decision.

Congratulations also to AbortionTV.com for a very informative site. It is both welcoming & non-judgmental, very well balanced & one which all young women should visit. 

Best Regards

Heidi

I read your note, and I find myself curious. 

You support those who have chosen not to abort, but you are still pro-choice - why?  I don't understand how you can look at those pictures (I never have - they make me cry) and commend this site while saying you are still pro-choice. 

Why did you write?  Why did you feel it necessary to share that little "I'm still pro-choice" blurb?  I don't think people assume that abortion is an easy choice.  But, (wait while I get up on my little soap box) once again, sex is designed to cause one party to get pregnant.  That is the point and the purpose of sex.  I believe in choice, too.  But the choice comes WAY before you find yourself pregnant.  The choice was made when you decided to have sex.  And I guess I don't understand why people are not getting that. 

HQ

Dear Heidi, 

     Thank you for your responsible choice made 14+ years ago that offers hope for all of us in the life of your son and the lives he touches.  I, too, am pro-choice with a necessary qualifier (see below) of a quality without which we would cease to exist.  Your letter lacked this, even though, you possess Life.  This phrase is confusing " to all the women who have felt there was no choice? How can 

No Choice" be Pro-choice"?  It may be, as you say, "Never ever an easy decision," but it is in today's world the most often performed surgical procedure > 3500 times a day. A few years ago that number was > 4500, which may mean we are winning or sadly, enough females may have been aborted in Thirty-four Years to cause the reduction.

     Please consider joining me and others, who are not trying to eliminate all irresponsible choices except the one which eliminates another from ever making any choices.

     BTW: I have the Sticker, Abortiontv.com, on my car.

Peace, Matthew

Dear Sir or Madam, 

I have found your website to be extremely interesting and informative.  I found it a few years ago while working at a Crisis Pregnancy Center in Chicago and have continued to check it frequently as I am out of the abortion loop right now.  I appreciate your honesty and kind support of women who write to you from both sides of the fence, and especially appreciated ML's response to the 5/19 email from RH.  That being said, I was very disturbed that you printed the email from Peter Erbacher.  I have found his previous emails to be quite scathing, albeight true, but this particular email was completely out of line.  Not only was he not correctly addressing the email sent by RH, but he also condoned an act which no one should support, and if they do, should not be printed on such a website.  Prolife cannot be so extreme as to include the killing of abortion providers.  Although we all agree that what they are doing is heinous, it is not in our hands to take their lives.   

I am sure that you have received many emails regarding Peter's response and would ask thet you remove his email and address him directly.   It is not only insulting to your site, but also insulting to the prolife cause. 

Best,

Kristen S.

    G'day Kristen S,

    Shooting an  a butcher nist  is perfectly acceptable, if you really believe that it is little children who are being butchered. If, however, all they are doing is removing 'clots' or 'tissue', then I wouldn't condone shooting them.

    Let's just say a madman has barricaded himself inside a school of 4,000 kids. Every hour he will butcher two children with a machette. Four days have passed, 193 children have been mutilated, 3807 to go!Let's also say that someone brandishing a rifle has access to this murderer, let's say it's you. What do you do? Allow the mutilations to continue just because you are 'prolife'? Maybe on the last day, just before killing the last child, he 'finds Jesus' and can repent? Maybe he doesn't?

    We can be airy-fairy and and jump up on the high moral horse and say it's wrong to kill anyone. Well, in the above situation, it's justified; It's also biblical *shock*. For what it's worth, I'd never shoot an abortionist. I pray that all of the butchered Australians will forgive me. I can accomplish more outside of a prison. However, I take my hat off to, and thank God for every man or woman who has the courage and conviction to stand in direct defence of these condemned children.

                                                                                                                                                              Peter Erbacher

Dear Kristen,

Agreed, Peter is cruel and unusual at times but we all know what drama brings...ratings. Without him the site would not be as exciting so they will keep him talking.  

It is also his right to free speech and yours to voice your collective opinions.  

I do however believe that in this day in age you may want to watch what you say on a public site, such as advocating the deaths of "baby killers". I imagine his next plane ride out of the country might be made a little more complicated when he his name pops up on a no fly list.  

Big brother is always watching.

Hi I don't have a story to tell but I do know that I really love your website and it has changed my life forever. I always was against abortion and I know that it is a hard thing to go through.. But I just wanted to say my sympathy goes out to all the mothers on this website. And im really sorry. But I really love the fact that you changed a woman and her boyfriends mind and saved a childs life keep up the good work!!! 

5/19/07

I am pro life with two exceptions. You may hate me all you want for this, but the sad fact is that some abortions are necessary to save the life of the mother or ultimatley save the life of an unborn child that would needlessly suffer and die a few minutes to a few days after birth.

My story involves both scenarios.

When I got pregnant with my fourth child (I have two healthy beautiful little kids, my third child died due to complications arising from his prematurity) the ultrasound showed that not only did my unborn baby suffer from anencephaly (basically meaning that my baby's brain never developed) but I had spilliage of protien in my urine and my liver was starting to enlarge. I had preeclampsia which in itself is not life threatening unless it turns into eclampsia which can cause seizures and death to the mother. Thoroughly investigating our options, my husband and I decided on an elective termination of the pregnancy, something I am truly saddened about but cannot regret. What life would my child have had, what chance for survival...with the congenital abnormality that it had (I had to undergo the procedure before we were able to find out the sex of the baby due to my rapidly declining health) there was no chance of survival. I cannot regret my decision. My child would have had no life and I was close to death myself. I guess what I am trying to say is that there are some situations that cannot be avoided. My unborn child was not subjected to the horrible tearing of limbs or doused with saline, nor was I subjected to the suction method. I was given a pill that is similar to the morning after pill only a little stronger. The baby was delivered intact (12 weeks gestation) and the absence of its skull and brain were proof that suffering was sure to come if I had allowed the pregnancy to continue. Babies with anencephaly survive for roughly 3 minutes following a term delivery.

Now, that is as pro choice as I get. Being a teen mother and facing family members telling me to get an abortion, I went pro life and delivered my first son 5 weeks early at the age of 17. My then boyfriend (now my husband of 6 years) was always behind me on my decision not to abort even though his mother banned him from seeing me. I delivered my daughter (also early, 12 weeks this time) a year and a half later. My third child was born at 24 weeks and he was in the NICU for four months of his life. He came home with us and died two weeks later due to complications of prematurity. We miss him and his younger sibling that never had a chance dearly.

As a survivor of rape (I did not get pregnant) I would never subject an innocent product of a hateful crime to a needles death. I must also say that if I had become pregnant with a child as a byproduct of my rape, I could not honestly take care of it. (I was 14 when I was raped) But I would still choose life...its called adoption.

My point is you can be pro life and still choose when it is necessary to do so for the life of your unborn child or yourself. I feel if we make abortion illegal, there should be only two exceptions....the mother's life and the unborn baby's life (or lack of).

And for those who think I am cruel for not sacrificing myself to save my unborn child, ask yourselves this, "If I was in her situation, had two other children that depended on me, and had a child inside of me with a chance of survival for at the most three minutes after birth, what would I do?" And for those who think I'm cruel for terminating a child's life because of a congenital abnormality, ask yourselves this, "What is crueler, allowing a child to be born and suffer for three agonizing minutes, struggling to breathe, struggling to keep a pulse, struggling to live because the only part of this child's brain is a small underdeveloped brain stem that only regulates the heartbeat and breathing, this baby can't see, can't cry, can't hear and can't feel anything, or taking a pill that causes no pain to the baby (anencephalic babies do not have any pain receptors due to the fact that the part of the brain that recepts pain is missing in this abnormality) and only vomiting in the mother?" 

RH

Hi there RH,

I'm very sorry to hear of your ordeal and the loss of your little one. I hope that you are able to access the support you need to heal.

I'm also sorry that you have started your story with "you may hate me for this." This tells me that you are expecting judgement and condemnation for what you did. Well, I can't speak for others, but as a woman who is prolife and who has also had children, there is none of that from me and i certainly hope, none of that from anyone else either.

What I want to say about this issue is, yes, you are right, there are some really awful things that happen in life and there are some things that we can't avoid. With your case, only you, your doctor and God knows whether there was an alternative to what happened with you. I wish to offer some thoughts on this. While this situation you were in is rare, it does happen. There are a few things in your letter though, that are assumptions either by yourself or by the doctor who advised you - namely, that your baby would suffer for "three agonising minutes" and that there would be "struggling" and vomiting from the mother. ( I presume, vomiting in response to the horrible situation?) I also want to point out that if the baby lacks senses as you say, then there is likely to be little suffering from the baby, but obviously the mother may be suffering a great deal of distress. I have not gone through this myself, but i do have a good friend who went through this same thing, only she chose to continue the pregnancy (she didn't have health problems herself however, but the baby did have anencephaly). She was under immense pressure to abort, every single time she attended a hospital appointment in fact. She resisted this pressure and was able to enjoy her time with the baby in her womb, she gave birth normally and held her baby for several hours before he died naturally in her arms. Her husband, her whole family gathered around to welcome this little baby into the world and to then farewell him too. He was named and given a funeral and is remembered fondly by his family, including his siblings. This experience, while agonising, is a normal grieving experience to go through, and abortion can cut short this normal, healthy process. When the grieving process is interfered with, whether it be due to the death of an unborn baby or someone else close to us, this can lead to future emotional problems. With an abortion, there can be an expectation that the mother will "get on with it." She goes to the hospital pregnant and comes back not pregnant. Because the family haven't seen the baby there is no baby to acknowledge and therefore no loss to recognise either. The mother's grief can be dismissed too easily. I don't know if this is the case with you and your family, I sincerely hope not because you are a grieving mother and need to be treated properly.

I think you are a very brave woman to have gone through the things you went through - remember to ask for help if/when you need it. The personal issues you have shared are *huge* and you should not underestimate the lasting impact they can have on your life.

Kind regards,
ML

G'day RH, 

Are you aware how often the "doctors" and tests get it wrong? It's a lot more common than most people think. That aside, your child died at your hands. It is better to love your child for three minutes after he or she is born than to murder him or her based on a "doctor's" advice or some test. Where do you draw the line? How can you define where others can draw the line? 

Your situation was unusual but there is no need to try and justify the taking of a little child's life. It's worse that you're trying to sell others on this idea. It's great that you are pro-life, I'm not. I'm pro-choice and anti-'abortion'.   

Killing children, raping children, assulting women or drink-driving, etc, should never be a choice. If, on the other hand, someone decided to shoot a baby-killer, I'm not against that. The people who do that are heroes, defending the lives of unborn Americans, Australians, etc. It's never ok to butcher children. Sometimes that calls for direct force, especially when the police turn a blind eye to the massacre.  

                                                                                                                                                Peter Erbacher

Dear RH who wrote a letter on 5 19 2007 

      I just read your letter and I want to say one thing how would your baby have suffered if it were born? Remember it had no pain sensory so it would not have suffered  It was you, you did not want to continue with the pregnancy if you were not going to have a baby at the end and you didn’t love your child unconditionally you only wanted a normal baby at the end. I f I were the parent of one of those children I would have given birth held my baby for what precious time we had together I would have held/kissed him or her told him/her how much I loved them and that I would see them in heaven one day you robbed yourself of those moments and you can never get them back and you have to live with that. You also have no faith in GOD, GOD can work miracles! you should have gone to him with your problem he could have help you, for example I know of a girl that did drugs her whole pregnancy I think it was crack but I am not sure and she was told that because of her drug use her baby had not grown properly and was too small to go through the birth canal and be born alive. Well this mother found GOD before her baby was born and PRAYED and asked the whole church to PRAY for her baby and her child was born alive, healthy and drug free with out a C section GOD does do miracles all you have to do is ask the sad thing is now its too late for your child and that’s your fault

      PS  You can’t say that your pro life and do the opposite in the bible it says that it is ok to save a mother’s life with abortion either way you’re trading one life for another or maybe both would die however it is not ok to abort because the child would be a “burden” (no child is ever a burden) to their family  !

PS  also why does it matter as to what method you aborted if the baby felt no pain? You took medication to stop your baby’s beating heart ( like a heart attack is not painful) so why is that better than being torn apart or saline? And thank GOD you saved yourself from having to go through suction. 

           I don’t hate you I don’t like you

 Sincerely

              Brianna and Rachel’s mom and mom to whoever else GOD would give to me handicap or not ,three minutes together or a life time

I have to say I have been reading responses and responding myself for many years. This letter was one that was different from most but received some of the most disturbing responses.  

RL, I am sorry for your loss. You and your husband were educated on the situation and made the best decision for yourself and your family. I wonder would it have been better for you to take the chance with your health and possibly leave your two children and husband without you to take a chance on a potential miracle? Two in fact, one that your fourth child would live a normal and productive life and that suddenly your health would also turn around and no longer be a threat?  

I don't believe people who want to see abortion illegal like stories like that. It proves there are cases that are for the life of the mother. This would be one.  

The people who responded to you should stop going to the doctor. Apparently they do not believe in modern medicine, and believe that God will solve all their issues. Kudos to them. Yes, maybe it would have helped and brought closure but what would they say if you had lost your life as well? We wouldn't be hearing this story then.  

You made a decision and I thank you for sharing. We cannot understand until we walk in those shoes and I believe that is why most of America doesn't believe abortion should be illegal. Safe, legal, and rare.

To the culture warriors--those that fight for life--The Culture Of Life.

I attempt to read and consider arguments the Culture Of Death uses, to justify their Satanic craft.  I usually try to compare them to the Nazi's, in that, they re-defined life--to determine who and who is not worthy of life.  Alas, that analogy falls short, by millions.

The Nazi death machine was never as efficient as the human meat grinders of today--all with the blessings of godless governments. 

I must admit, there are some sophisticated arguments, along with the standard uncritical ones.  As a whole, even the most technical and elaborate arguments for death--are re-packaged old arguments.  All pro-murder arguments contain the stench of death, no matter the level of artistic and stylistic expression.  At the Judgment seat of God, all pro-death arguments will cease and desist.  Remember the Word, the last enemy to die, is death! 

My bothers and sisters, with the death toll rising--and more blood on this nation's hands, it comforts me that God is in control. This Nation's documents and founding principles contradict the current Judicial systems re-interpretation.  Remember well, also, the Word says "the Scripture cannot be broken."  God will not allow evil to continue, forever!  Even if my Nation's Founding Documents are twisted beyond recognition, God's Eternal Word remains! 

At this point, I think the most common theme of the Culture Of Death, is their love of Money or their hatred of the Creator God.  Perhaps it is a combination of both.  I cannot think of a more hateful thing, (other than the mockery of Jesus sacrificial death and subsequent Resurrection) than to murder the lives that God has placed in the womb.  The Culture Of Death, needs their religious sacrament--the murder of the innocent--in the tradition of Cain (Genesis 4). 

I find it hard to believe that a legal decision, Roe Vs. Wade--hanging by a legal thread, holds so much power--so much death.  I know that in my country, laws and opinions are changing, but that is part of the problem.  Even if opinions change, for life, the pendulum could sway back the other direction, and the murder machine could run again. 

I encourage the Culture Of Life to consider the heart of the matter--for the whole of the subject is a matter of the heart.  God's Word delineates between the natural and spiritual man, and the fact that the natural man (person) cannot know the things of God.  Matters of the Spirit of the Living God--His Gift of life, let alone Salvation, is a subject of ridicule (media) and death (abortions).  Read, re-read and meditate on the contrast of the Natural and Spiritual man (I Corinthians 2). 

I hope this letter of encouragement gets posted.  More so, I hope the Word gets read, and the Culture Of Life keeps in mind, that this is a Spiritual battle!  Pray for God's Spirit to touch and change the hearts of the Culture Of Death.

I was 16 years old when I found out I was pregnant. I thought my world was falling apart and that I had no one. My mom wasn’t really supportive in the beginning. She was the main person that wanted me to have an abortion. My child’s father was told not to talk to me anymore by his mother and I received phone calls from her everyday pressuring me to have an abortion.  And no one in my family really supported me.  So I was surfing the web when I found a teen mom message board and a link to AbortionTV.com.  I think I visited the site maybe three times a day for a whole week. The last day that I visited the site I saw the ultrasound of a real abortion being performed and how the fetus was trying to get away from the vacuum before it was eventually sucked up and I decided that no matter who didn’t approve I was going to have my baby.  And now here I am almost six years later with a wonderful, brilliant, beautiful, precious daughter and I wouldn’t trade her for the world.  Neither would my mom or anyone else in my family.  I am glad that AbortionTV is here to help confused people, like I was, make the best decision of their lives. 

LS

Congratulations on making the right decision, in spite of the intense influence by others to pressure you into killing your child.  It's always interesting that people are willing to kill and "unseen" child, yet change their position completely once the child is born.  We are also adding your letter to "Aborted Abortions."

AbortionTV

LS

 I am thankful that you decided to allow the life that God started in you, to live.  I am also thankful to the people of this site, and sites like it, that has the guts and heart to tell the truth, even if graphic pictures are used. LS, if you would, could you reduce your thoughts to a diary, or a note pad?  Perhaps you could write a pamphlet or book, on the subject--and be an encouragement to others. 

It is a blessing from God, that, despite all the discouragement, you followed the heart and mind that God gave you, and saw life, simply for what it is, LIFE!  Some persons are so brutal and calloused--demonic is the only word that does their character justice

I attempt to understand the arguments of the pro-death class--and one argument has to do with pregnant teens.  As I understand them, they hold that pro-lifers "victimize" influential teens with their "opinions."  When it comes to life, the value of life, and the definition of life, the only opinions are ones generated by the culture of death.  God and God alone has the right to determine when life begins--and His Word is clear.  Some of the most beautiful expressions of His stance on life, is Psalms 139--coupled with the real-to-life, here-and-now example you hold in your arms! 

The culture of death is not beyond God's judgment, and one day, the murderers may face, not only God, but may face all the persons they had killed, while on earth.  I do not have a chapter and verse to back that up, LS, but, to me, that would be a good thing!  I do not know why God allows this evil to continue, but I do know He has it all under His control--and this evil will not last forever. 

Between the cradle and the grave, wicked hearts will issue death to the innocent, while it is they, not the culture of life, that is a threat to a pregnant teen.

Over a period of two hundred years, approximately 100, 000 Australians have been killed in various wars and skirmishes. It's sobering to realise that we kill that same number of Australians each and every year by abortion.

I dont have any bad abortion story.  The facility was clean, the people were nice.  I should have a 4 yr old.  My best friends' 4 yr old is an everyday reminder to me.  I wanted nothing to do with the father even though he was 110% in love with me. 

I regret it everyday.  It took me about 2 yrs to regret it-- but now that's it is here, it won't go away. 

If I could go back... God, if I could go back to that day.  I am so sorry.

I am having trouble conceiving with my husband (different guy).  Ironic huh?  I've never told husband about my abortion.   

KD

Dear KD,

    You begin, "I don't have a bad abortion story," and by the sixth sentence and "about two yrs"  admit, "I regret it everyday."  It's difficult to imagine a 'good' abortion story, unless it is the one sought but walked out of before the fact, but that's a story about "life," winning in the end and it always does in ways we cannot imagine.

    Now, "difficulty in conceiving," which may be caused by your abortion that your husband does not know about are all elements of your story creating huge conflicts that your letter displays.

   Counseling from your Pastor or another woman who has walked in your shoes is what is needed to answer the call of the sorrow you have. I hope you have a wise Pastor and many if not all Pregnancy Help Centers (CPCs) should be able to counsel you and not eliminate your sorrow, but help you accept that One has already healed and forgiven you.

    Either of these counselors should be able to advise you on how to inform your husband, which would seem necessary for a healthy marriage.

   God bless you and your next decisions

Please,  Matthew

I am 20 years old, I had my aborted eight days ago. 18/4/07

I am currently in a loving relationship with my boyfriend. However we are inter-racial. I am a white scottish girl he is an indian boy-same age.  This created added pressure for me in all of my decisions. I was told if I were to keep our baby, his family may disown him or he would have to marry me quickly. We are both students are university...and don't have a stable career.  

To makes things worse-his parents don't know about me...not yet. We do plan to marry in the future. So it would be heart-break for his parents to find out everything all at once.  I understood all the "practical" terms of the reasons why not to keep my baby. Finance was a big issue being students as well as our family backgrounds, different customs and traditions.  I put my logical view into practice and we both arrange for the abortion free on the NHS. Everyone made it seem so practical. the doctor agreed with in my reasons. So I felt more "relaxed" in my choice.  I went for my scans and they referred to it as being just a "yolk sac" making me feel like yes-even though I am pregnant...it still wasn't a baby....more like a bunch of cells.

As the day of my abortion came into place-I recieved another scan. At this point I was 11 weeks already gone. They referred to my pregnancy that there was a beating heartbeat. I was shocked, hurt and flooded emotions. Maybe I was naive or maybe I was in denial.   I felt I couldn't leave...I thought Im here now, I have to have it-after all there is all my reasons which are deemed "practical". I had the surgical abortion. I was told that I would go to sleep and wake up and sure everything would be normal. I say normal in idea of being known what to expect. I knew all the side-effects provided by the doctors. I also arranged to have an implant fitted into my left arm to stop any unwanted pregnancies in the future.

I remeber falling asleep...and then the worst moment for me...was waking up in recovery. I burst into tears...I felt robbed........only before I was pregnant and now I'm not. I felt alone....  

Nothing can ever heal my pain. My views are that yes my baby will be in heaven. But the biggest feelings I have is...I now no longer feel pregnant. Yes I agreed to the abortion....but I never knew my body was giving and showing feelings. I had no morning sickness in all the 11 weeks...I counted myself lucky..... but in all honesty.........its the biggest regret ever. Ive cried in my bf arms so many times. He cares and loves me soo much.  

The decision I made was wrong. I convinced myself I was right in what I was doing for myself and others....... but ultimately.......your true decision hit me once I had the abortion. It is important to think of yourself.  I have named my baby-and every day I pray for forgiveness and love upon my baby. People have told me that time will heal my pain.........but nothing can ever take a mother's pain away for her baby.

I am a mother after-all....I just don't have my baby.

After meeting many different women who've chosen to have and not have abortions I needed some time away from the issue. Either way it was an emotional one. I forced myself to have a chemical abortion using my own means, but it wasn't till my 2 pregnancy that I acknowledged i had been pregnant. The shape and outline of the baby was completely recognizable and I kept that within me for years. 

I've found the deep anger and bitterness was in me when I was confronted by others regarding my hypocrisy that I didn't feel anything about what I had done. After I gave birth to my 2nd baby I realized a baby acts different in the womb as well, meaning that the fetus has its own thoughts and feelings. It has the ability to play when stimulated to move and some babies are quieter than others. My 2nd pregnancy and 1st live born child were the opposite and still both boys. The pregnancy were anything but textbook, but both babies are perfect and are always laughing and smiling. 

I believe that abortion can cause Post Traumatic Syndrome, meaning they relive the whole thing sometimes out of feelings of guilt and powerlessness. I know I still relive that night, but it didn't start till I held my second son and realized they were both gorgeous and perfectly formed from head to toe. 

The women I've seen that choose life never can feel guilt when they hold their own son or daughter. Women who abort will possibly be faced to wonder about this when they have a child..

Thanks for the chance to post some of the things that women go thru. I didn't feel it than, but I do feel it now.  

Thanks,

As one in the mind sciences, older (heading into my 50's) there are certain aspects of the Culture Of Death, that needs addressed.  Since God revealed His Will, Mind and Intentions, I can only operate within His frame work, for the mind sciences, at best, are fallible (inconsistent/contradictory) observations of man. 

Post trauma (you mentioned) is an issue that I must deal with, on a daily basis.  In simple terms, a person suffers from the after effects of a physical/mental and emotional event.  In some movies, scenes of actual events are shown, as the person awakens from a dream--as a visual example.  

Jennifer, you touched on an area of interest, and I am tempted to write an in depth critical analysis (on a clinical level) and a biblical analysis (on the theological/application level).

That is not possible at this writing, but I can touch on a few areas, that the Culture Of Life, and Death can further research. For the Culture Of Life, that means information to support life, for the latter, it is just more condemnation, as they continue their craft of death--despite the findings of Science that has caught up with God's Word.  Ultra sound and other forms of technology has nothing on King David (see Psalms 139, Old Testament). 

One does not know, at this time, the long term effects on the woman, after an abortion.  Money is not available to clinical professionals (skilled in testing), that wants to pursue this area--and many that write on the moral aspect of abortion, are not clinically trained to understand the post-trauma to the women--in specific, children born in this country, after 1973, and society, as a whole.  Money for a busted fingernail, depression for not having the means to be a Paris Hilton--and hurt feelings for being a Paris Hilton--are available into the millions, for such wasted clinical time and academic talent. Useless studies, wasted ink--and boring conclusions are available, in the U.S. data sources--for what passes as mind-science. 

God's Word uses a term, that means past feeling--mind numb (some translations use the term "reprobate").  There will come a time when persons will be so numb, in heart and mind, that they will not "feel" any thing, concerning their evil deeds.  A good example is the persons at the Nazi Concentration Camps--as they gassed and burned non-persons.  There is a biblical and clinical depth, concerning the matter, space does not permit me to address--but the bottom line: The de-humanizing process is in direct proportion to the degree that a nation is godless.  In my country, the IRS visits Churches, inspects religious speech, and has the power to determine what is, and what is not "free speech."  If a sermon touches on abortion, which is addressed in the Word of God, that church can lose its tax exempt status, and the assets can be seized, for what an IRS agent determines has crossed the line--into political speech.  Much the same with the Russian KGB and Nazi Gestapo--speech and thought police.  Part of the De-Human process in my "one nation, under God"--as our pledge touts, is the official government stance on declaring babies, non-human, and meeting out punitive measures for "violators" of godless laws.  I am such a "violator," for I will speak up against a godless law--point out the contradictions, and address matters of the heart--and, Oh Yeah, I vote! 

This, Jenifer, feeds into our Nation's pathology--the evils of murder--the extermination of non-persons.  Our children, mind-wiped of the Jewish-Christian heritage--will mindlessly support the Culture Of Death.  This mind-wipe indoctrination, is what some call education.  A pathology is a deeply ingrained part of the mind and soul--perhaps to the point of moral insanity--to wit: One cannot distinguish right and wrong.  Little children, with no clinical training, if shown certain pictures, will say: "Mommie, that is a picture of baby Jesus, in Mary's tummie."   With a version of clinical training, as an older adult, the same person would see the baby as "material," nothing more, nothing less.  In the name of "Science, so falsely called," and educated fool, a numb mine--can look at a woman with child, and see "material."  If this same person obtains a medial degree and can pass a test, that same person can "extract tissue"--murder, and retain the status: Doctor.

We are a more violent nation--and it is reflected in our children's games, and in today's news papers. Small wonder that the Culture Of Death hates actual pictures or films of their death- dealers implementing their satanic arts.  After death, as they roast in an eternal Hell (technically, the Lake Of Fire) perhaps their minds, with the pictures of the murdered babies, and their rejection of Christ, will be their post-trauma--their eternal night mare.  I do not know, but it would be eternal poetic justice. 

One of the gages of a healthy society, is the ability to discern or distinguish morally right from wrong.  In Cultural Marxism, there is no right and wrong, only an evolving understanding as a culture changes.  In that line of thinking, to call what Hitler did with the Jews, evil, is absurd.  In Moral relativistic thinking, all acts are of equal value--all cultures are equal! 

My brother Peter, from down under--to some, in a morally bank-rupt world, would consider his observations and comments extreme.  Perhaps he is from the land down under, but he is not standing on his head, telling the rest of the world, that it is they, not he, that is upside down.  Millions are murdered--and the only thing that upsets some, is Peter's ability to communicate the UN-varnished truth. Just one hundred years ago, in my ''all men are created equal" land, I would be subjected to extermination, for I am a half-breed (half-human) and considered a threat to the white race. Instead of an actual non-person, I would be a sub-non person (more of a non-person-or less of a non-person) and especially subjected to the extermination process.  I would suppose that if Peter wrote an analogy of the extermination of the American Indian, and I, of the Australian Aborigines, and compared the two extermination studies, to modern abortion, we would be considered extreme.  The Culture Of Death, with the blood of innocents on their hands, flips the bird to God and man, and calls those that expose their evil, "extreme"--are morally sick (the Word says, "spiritually dead") These persons are in such a state of denial, it would take an act of God, to re-new their calloused hearts.  I can imagine King Herod, calling the American Civil Liberties Union, and lodging a complaint against "extreme" people, calling his murder of babies, evil.  And Cain, the first recorded human murderer, filing civil suit against people calling the murder of his brother, evil.  I can also see P.E.T.A (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) suing the Holy family and the Inn Keeper, for distressing animals, by allowing Jesus to be born among animals, causing animal trauma.  Examples of moral insanity--sin!   

Jennifer, I encourage you to write down your thoughts, learn from this site, and join The Culture Of Life.  I encourage you to read God's Word, and see the consistency of the actual text--The Word Of God, instead of comments by the "unlearned and unstable," that does not know God, and cannot see that God places life in the womb.

When I was 18 years old I became pregnant by a 21 year old man I had been seriously dating, we had just broken up a week before when the two pink lines showed up. I was terrified, I had always wanted children but was unsure of what to do, when I told him I found out that he was already living with another woman and began verbally and emotionally abusing me, threatening to take our baby away when I did have it and all kinds of other things. I decided abortion was my only option,  I begged my parents for the money to have one done but they refused and rightfully so, in the back of my mind I knew I would regret it so eventually I just resigned myself that I was going to make it work.  I was only 18 years old, I had no job, no money, no high school diploma, no wonderful husband at my side but I made it through. I'm now almost 21 years old, my son is almost 18 months old and he is the light of my life, I love my son with all my heart and soul and not having him would have been the worst decision I could have ever made, I have a very nice job with benefits, my own apartment and am getting ready to begin college courses again. I want all the girls who are considering abortion to know that you do get through your struggles and there really is a light at the end of the tunnel. God Bless.

             I am Lily and a student of Leominster high. I think abortion should be legal in certain cases. At first, I wanted abortion to be illegal, but as my science teacher in Ghana ones told me if one have an ectopic pregnancy she must have an abortion inother to save her life that is why I think abortion should be legal in some case. I want to know how abortion came into existance? What can be done to make abortion legal in some cases? How did abortion drugs came into existance? Who should choose life for the unborn baby? I hope you will help me know more about abortion and also help me solve any question aboution. Thank you.

I am not in favor of abortion and never have been. Indeed, if one of my friends or my sister were pregnant, I would dissuade her from having an abortion in all but the most extreme of circumstances. I also agree with you on the fact that the number of abortions is alarmingly high, and that this is definitely a bad thing.

However, I do not believe that the best way to reduce the number of abortions is to make abortion illegal. This hasn't worked in the past, and it doesn't work today in countries that have outlawed abortion. Women will continue to get them illegally, or do it themselves... how is anyone going to stop a woman who's only a few weeks along from taking some pills and killing her child? A teenager could do such a thing behind their parent's back, which makes even the parental consent laws all but meaningless. What good is a law going to do if it can't be enforced?

Rather that reacting to this situation by attempting to ban abortion, a better thing to do would be pro-active and prevent such unplanned pregnancies from occurring in the first place. Your website states that 95% of women use abortion as a form of birth control rather than for health reasons. It would make sense that the way for bringing this number down is to give those 95% of women the means to prevent unintended pregnancies from ever occurring.

Planned Parenthood is a major source of low-cost contraception and many other medical resources for low-income people. They provide not only contraception, but STD and pregnancy tests, infertility treatment,  STD treatment, adoption referrals,  breast cancer screenings, and many other services. According to the most recent statistics that I could find (from 2006) these types of services make up the overwhelming majority of what Planned Parenthood offers: around 97%. Abortions make up just under 3%.

It is for this reason that I would oppose any kind of legislation or other action that would have a negative impact on Planned Parenthood or any similar clinic facility. It's true that getting a clinic shut down means that abortions won't be performed there anymore, but it also means that some low-income women won't have access to prenatal care. Saving one unborn child in a way that puts another at risk is not something that I will
