"Pro-choice"

My mother used to say, "You may as well laugh as to cry".

I thought of that saying as I sat down to write this blog entry.

I wanted to tell you about my recent experience of trying to get my "pro-choice" MP to read my abortion petition in Parliament.

But all I could think about was an article I read yesterday that made me want to cry. It made me want to cry because this story is the best description I have ever heard of "pro-choice".

No euphemisms. No mushy words. No BS.

It is called "Thank goodness I can still cringe" By Dave Andrusko

Here is part of that story:

"Years ago Anthony Levatino, M.D. performed abortions before he became pro-life. In his testimony last week before the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the House Judiciary Committee, Dr. Levatino went into considerable detail in describing a "D&E" abortion-an abortion technique that dismembers the baby.

He asked the subcommittee members to "Imagine, if you can, that you are a pro-choice obstetrician/gynecologist like I once was. Your patient today is 24 weeks pregnant (LMP)."

He went on:

"Picture yourself reaching in with the Sopher clamp [an instrument for grasping and crushing tissue] grasping anything you can. At twenty-four weeks gestation, the uterus is thin and soft so be careful not to perforate or puncture the walls. Once you have grasped something inside, squeeze on the clamp to set the jaws and pull hard - really hard. You feel something let go and out pops a fully formed leg about six inches long. Reach in again and grasp whatever you can. Set the jaw and pull really hard once again and out pops an arm about the same length. Reach in again and again with that clamp and tear out the spine, intestines, heart and lungs."

"...you know you did it right if you crush down, a white material runs out of the cervix. That was the baby's brains. Then you can pull out skull pieces. Many times a little face will come back and stare back at you...And if you think that doesn't hurt, if you believe that isn't an agony for the baby, please think again."

I will try and write my other story now. Maybe I will be able to laugh.

  1. The horror of mutilating living unborn babies to the point of dismembering and killing them can only continue by remaining hidden from public view. Thank you to Dr. Levatino for exposing these horrrendous murders that happen hundreds of times every day in Canada. Let it be known by everyone in Canada so that we may all be filled with shame, and so that we may all repent. God help us!
