Abortionist: Abortion workers quit after seeing preborn babies on ultrasound

Dr. Joseph Randall performed “many thousands” of abortions before his conversion to Christianity led to a change of heart. He quit doing abortions when he became a Christian.

Dr. Randall performed D&E abortions. These late-term abortions, done in the second trimester, are done by dilating the woman’s cervix (opening to the womb) gradually with laminaria (seaweed sticks that expand as they absorb fluid) and then pulling apart the baby with forceps. As former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino describes in the video below, the baby is extracted piece by piece.

2nd Trimester Surgical Abortion: Dilation and Evacuation (D & E)

Dr. Randall shared his testimony at a conference sponsored by The Pro-Life Action League, and describes being taught to do the D&Es:

While Randall was performing more and more D&E abortions, science and technology were advancing. It was when he started to use ultrasound, however, that affected Randall the most:

Before each abortion, Randall and the nurses who worked with him watched their tiny victim kicking and moving around in the womb. Dr. Randall was not the only one who became uncomfortable with this:

It was just too hard for clinic workers to see a fully formed living child moving around in the womb, and then watching Randall pull arms and legs off that same baby and put them in a stack on the table.

Incidentally, the women were never allowed to see the ultrasound:

Randall’s nurses were not the only abortion clinic workers whose hearts were changed by ultrasound images.  Abby Johnson, former director of a Planned Parenthood clinic, changed her mind about abortion and walked off her job after she watched a 13-week-old baby being aborted under ultrasound visualization. She watched the baby struggle and try to get away from the abortion instruments and realized that her job consisted of helping kill children. She became a pro-life activist. You can read her dramatic story in the book Unplanned. 

The late Dr. Bernard Nathanson recorded a video of a baby being aborted on ultrasound for his movie The Silent Scream. He describes how the abortionist who performed the abortion later watched the footage and was horrified. He never did another abortion.

Dr. Randall eventually left the carnage behind him and found a new faith and purpose in Christianity. He now regrets his time as an abortionist.
