It’s frightening that these people aren’t being put away and locked up somewhere. They need to be segregated from civilized society.

Anyway, this article underscores what I’ve been saying all along. People make a mistake by thinking abortion is primarily about women seeking them. It is not something one “has;” rather they are something one does. People, even many who are pro-life, somehow can’t seem to get that.

It is insane that people never think to picket medical schools that train in abortions the same way they do the actual abortion centers. We should set up counseling for people considering the abortion profession the same way we counsel women with crisis pregnancies.

Those quoted in the article, if they can’t be locked up, need a good counseling session and educational lesson.

A woman’s control over her body is representative of her freedom.

So? That doesn’t give her control over someone else’s body. It’s two different bodies, you idiot! You’d think a “medical student” would know better.

Besides, women seeking abortions don’t give a flip about their body. 99 percent of them have the INTENT of ELIMINATING a child that cannot or do not want to raise and whom they fear placing for adoption may cause emotional pain.

It was Christina, the Students for Choice chapter president, who proposed holding a papaya workshop to expose more students to abortion.

Actually, a wonderful group called the Genocide Awareness Projects works to expose more students to abortion. They don’t need Christina or her terrorist organization.

Don’t be so sure

unlike their babies, who will never feel anything

Ever see “The Silent Scream?” Regardless, there is no way to measure brain capacity on the unborn. However, it’s fair to say that when abortions would be far more painful for the baby (assuming he or she could feel it), and when it takes much longer to kill the baby, it is also more likely the child does feel pain. That’s why second trimester abortionists are literally sadists.

Bottom line: I encourage anyone who lives near abortion-training schools (or in one) to picket and/or offer counseling to newcomers. Many more lives can be saved stopping an abortionist than by stopping a woman seeking one.

everyone feeling a little squeamish? This should be spread around every site you can post on….this should be sent to every person in your email groups and lets be clear this is the first trimester…..imagine the second when we know we have seen images of babies in the fourth month of pregnancy..

The fifth month of the pregnancy…

and for my final and most damning indictment of abortion….Dr. Tiller the BABY KILLER’s most fun abortion time of all….for the mother’s health of course…the ninth month..

Whoever has his enemy at his mercy &
does not destroy him is his own enemy

But we need stuff like this sometimes to remind us that abortion isn’t just a philosophical debate. Real babies are killed.

Menlo is right - these nuts ought to be locked somewhere where they can’t hurt anyone.

Father Pavone is the leader of Priests for Life, who often says, “America will not reject abortion until America sees abortion.” His website, priestsforlife.org, has pictures of aborted babies and a video that demonstrates how an abortion is done. The images are horrific, but very real. In my opinion, they should be shown to anyone considering an abortion.

Last night I read the whole article.

So this stellar third year med student who has been a pro-choice activist for 10 years didn’t know much of anything about the abortion procedure. I had the facts on how a D&C works in seventh grade. What do they discuss at NARAL meetings? The fairy godmother at Planned Parenthood who waves a magic wand to make girls unpregnant?

If someone with that much biological training didn’t have much background information on abortion, we must assume that when presenting the facts to average Americans, it will be the first time they are hearing/seeing them. Prepare for cognitive dissonance.

Also, it might be wise for us all to start outing our pregnant selves early. Gush, gush, gush from the time your pee sticks says + on what your new baby is up to. It is a happy way to educate everyone on how much a human your new addition is. (I’ll admit, this is difficult for me because for every two pregnant women you see, there is one couple who experienced a miscarriage in the past year. For every nine pregnant women you see, there is one couple dealing with infertility. I guess we should tread lightly until we are sure our audience isn’t among the suffering.)

On a separate issue, the med student was extremely cavalier about giving contraceptives to young girls, even supporting school nurses giving Depo provera to students. As much homage as they pay Darwin, a good portion of the left really believes that they can fool Mother Nature.

Second, although she paid lip service to STD prevention, most of her efforts seemed aimed at preventing pregnancy. In my opinion, STDs are a much worse consequence of sex than unintended pregnancy, but I’m just a small town bitter religious person.

Third, as always, there is the factor of interfering with a teenage girl’s perfectly functioning reproductive system, when no one ever discusses chemically castrating teenage boys. The Planned Parenthood crowd is so pro-woman - Not!

Anyway, the whole article is worth a read. It definitely helped me understand that the opposition may be wide, but it is certainly shallow.

…every time i see something like:

“a woman’s control over her body is representative of her freedom…”

…well…..duh….

but ya know, if these women were capable of controlling their bodies, they would not be pregnant unless they wanted to be pregnant….getting pregnant “by accident” these days should probably be a felony offense…

full disclosure….chuckie is female, was an “unwed mother” at a time when it was NOT fashionable, and managed somehow to carry the baby full-term to adoption. chuckie does not like people who kill babies.

This account is beyond horrifying, but the truly sick part is that she is going to be celebrated for her principled stand in the furtherance of women’s rights.

HORRIBLE!!

God help us!

They know in their hearts that it goes against their very oath to save lives….I know this is a winnable argument if it is just framed correctly!

Whoever has his enemy at his mercy &
does not destroy him is his own enemy

I read through the article and found the end a bit puzzling. Lesley was speaking to a doctor who wouldn’t do abortions:

But later, before she left, she did ask the doctor one question: “How do you advise patients without appearing judgmental?”

The answer — that appearing judgmental wasn’t the doctor’s concern, only doing what she felt was right for patients — made Lesley realize that “there are people who wholeheartedly believe they are doing their patients good” by not mentioning abortion or prescribing birth control pills. She found that problematic. “You can’t assume what is right for you is right for the patient,” she decided.

She just contradicted herself. If they think they are doing their patients good, they are doing just the opposite of what is right for themselves. Is Lesley really that stupid?

To put it in her terms, a doctor is not going to offer the choice of open heart surgery or a colostomy unless he or she thinks it is in the patient’s best interest. It is not and should not be up to patients.

So to answer Lesley more directly, it’s actually the job of doctors to be judgmental!

I read this amazing account of refusing to “walk the walk” of an abortion activist. I was surprised the Post allowed realistic descriptions of the procedures. It is my hope that many Post readers gave it a thoughtful reading. Thanks!

Is there any mandatory pre-abortion counseling required that informs women when they are considering abortion?

I went to BodyWorlds and part of the exhibition was preserved infants at every stage of development. If you had to look at the chronology and were asked when it was “ok” to perform an abortion on a fetus you could hardly do it beyond conception.

The more people REALLY know the less they like the idea….

As I read the article and it talks about people walking through and seeing the instruments of abortion it reminded me of the townspeople in Germany being made to walk through the deathcamps!

Whoever has his enemy at his mercy &
does not destroy him is his own enemy

According to a follow-up, Lesley decided not to do abortions. She remains an advocate, but one can only wonder what really changed her mind.

Trust me, I teach college, and it is impossible for students to get out of college without a teacher forcing the liberal agenda down their throats. Its a sad day in america

Choose what? The phrasing hides the truth.

Lesley … is committed to a woman’s right to choose.

If it were worded as

Lesley … is committed to a woman’s right to choose to terminate the defenseless life that is developing in her uterus.

that would be different.
