Abortionist explains: Abortion includes ‘pulling out the baby in pieces’

In an interview for Think Atheist, an unnamed abortionist calls herself an “abortion specialist” and claims to commit “literally hundreds of abortions a year” in both the first and second trimesters.

The abortionist admits to performing abortions while pregnant with her own children. She claims that the women having abortions looked at her with appreciation, not horror, when seeing a visibly pregnant woman aborting their babies. She also says she tells very few people about her job, hiding what she does from others. Other abortionists have written about the stigma they face as abortion doctors, due to the gruesome realities of their job that others in the medical field are aware of.

It is unsettling that this abortionist dismembered preborn children in the womb even while carrying her own. But what is most striking about her testimony is how she refers to the children she kills.

First, she writes about abortions in the first trimester.

A simple look in an embryology textbook or a fetal development site shows that this information is false. In fact, a preborn baby in just the ninth week of pregnancy (the seventh week after conception) has arms, legs, fingers, and toes. By ten weeks, the limbs are fully developed and the baby has taken on an unquestionably human profile. In the first trimester, visible body parts can be found — and are often sorted through — in the abortion remains. You can see the aftermath of first trimester abortions here.  (Warning: Graphic)

A former abortionist, Dr. Anthony Levatino, describes what actually takes place in a first trimester D&C abortion in the video below:

Even Willie Parker, a practicing abortionist who has committed thousands of abortions and continues to do them, acknowledges that the body of an aborted baby is not simply “undefined tissue.” In his book, “Life’s Work: From the Trenches, A Moral Argument for Choice,” he writes:

While the abortionist interviewed by Think Atheist makes blatantly false statements about first trimester abortions — that even her fellow abortionists disagree with — when she speaks about second trimester abortions, her words are surprisingly accurate:

We see her use the word “baby.” This abortionist acknowledges that she aborts babies. She also calls the women pregnant with these children “moms.” Dr. Levatino describes D&E abortions in the video below:

Why does the abortionist lie about abortions in the first trimester but admit to killing babies in the second? It’s hard to say. Perhaps it’s her way of rationalizing what she does. But some part of her definitely aware that she is taking the lives of children who have mothers.

Moreover, she is hardly the first abortionist to refer to preborn children as babies.

In an article in American Medical News, another abortionist states:  

At Clinicquotes.com, you can read many quotes by abortionists and abortion workers admitting that they are destroying life.

When abortion doctors themselves say they kill babies, there can be very little argument against the humanity of the preborn and what abortion does to them.
