Late-term abortionist Curtis Boyd: “Am I killing? Yes, I am”

In October, we told you about Medicaid paying for $9000 late-term abortions at Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO)  in New Mexico. Operation Rescue has since revealed that SWO is willing to do abortions as late as 30 weeks to kill unborn children with Down Syndrome at a cost to Medicaid of up to $16,000 per procedure. One of the abortionists on staff at SWO, Dr. Curtis Boyd, made a shocking admission to Austin local news channel KVUE in 2009: “Am I killing? Yes I am”

Abortion doctor: 'Am I killing? Yes, I am'

Boyd is certainly not new to the abortion business nor to claiming divine endorsement for what he admits is direct killing. In an article for the pro-abortion publication Voices of Choice, Boyd admits to having been an abortionist in the Sixties prior to the Roe v. Wade decision which legalized abortion. He claimed that the decision to have an abortion is “responsible” and even more “moral” than the decision to choose life.

One of the primary arguments of the “pro-choice” movement in regard to Roe v. Wade is that mainstream religious belief, that we are all created by God with inherent dignity and have the right to life, should not be considered in abortion. Boyd’s claim that women who allow him to kill their children have a “higher level of moral development than probably most anyone else” should give anyone, religious or otherwise, serious pause.

Another claim of the “pro-choice” movement regarding Roe v. Wade is that the decision was necessary to save women from “back-alley” abortionists like Curtis Boyd who admits to performing abortions illegally before Roe. According to Operation Rescue, there are complaints on file in New Mexico in regard to botched abortions injuring women at SWO clinic where Boyd continues to perform late-term abortions.

We certainly have come a long way since the Sixties. Today in America, a former “back-alley” abortionist can go on mainstream television news, admit to killing people with divine endorsement and continue to be paid by the taxpayer for his “services”. Certainly, the pro-life movement has made great strides in recent years, but Boyd’s case, like perhaps no other, shows that there is much work left to do. It is important that we remain ever committed to educating people about the dignity of all human life, born and unborn, so that Boyd and others like him can find a new line of work for themselves.
