Former Planned Parenthood abortionist: Life begins at conception

Coral Ridge Ministries released a series of pro-life videos called “The Truth about Abortion.” The videos, which were uploaded on January 15, 2009, feature comments from former abortionist Dr. Robert Siudmack.

In the first video, Siudmack states that life begins at conception:

Read excerpts from medical textbooks that verify that each unique human life begins at conception.

Suidmack also quotes the American College of Pediatricians’ 2004 policy statement:

Siudmack also says that preborn babies can feel pain, a scientific belief that is shared by many embryologists, pediatricians, researchers, and other medical professionals:

Siudmack comments on how ultrasound shows the humanity of preborn babies:

In fact, ultrasound has been pivotal in the conversions of several abortionists.

The late Dr. Bernard Nathanson, an abortionist who presided over 60,000 abortions and was the founder of NARAL, changed his beliefs as a result of the invention of ultrasound. According to Nathanson: 

The Silent Scream, created by Dr. Nathanson, shows an ultrasound of a first trimester preborn baby being torn apart in an abortion. Released in the 1980s, it convinced many people to join the pro-life movement.

Former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino describes the prevalent first trimester D&C abortion procedure in the video below.

Abby Johnson, former director of a Planned Parenthood facility, also witnessed an abortion on ultrasound, which convinced her to leave Planned Parenthood and become a full-time pro-life activist. You can read her powerful description of what she saw and how it changed her online and in her book Unplanned. 

Joan Appleton is another abortion industry worker who changed her mind after seeing an abortion on ultrasound and witnessing the pre-born baby struggling in vain for his life.

Siudmack has verified what pro-lifers have been arguing all along – that abortion violently kills a baby. These quotes, which come from a reformed abortionist who has witnessed and performed countless abortions, add even more evidence to the vast supply of facts and eyewitness reports that pro-lifers have to back up the pro-life position.
