23rd July 2007

    200 years ago a slave trader's eyes were suddenly opened and he finally saw what others had seen all along. All people were created, not evolved from slime, and were considered equal in their Creator's eyes, regardless of their skin colour.

    This man, John Newton, penned a song regarding his experience, "Amazing Grace". This was during a time when blacks were considered sub-human (and truth be known, still are). They weren't classed as people. This is similar to the thought patterns pro-aborts have towards unborn children.

    William Wilberforce did what was considered impossible, he repelled the slavery laws in England, saving hundreds of thousands of lives.

    The 'abortion' holocaust is nearing that pinnacle of change. Momentum is building and as long as you don't live in a wardrobe you would be feeling it too. Pro-aborts are nervous as they stand on the threshold of their little house of cards toppling over.

    Years from now, people will look back in horror at a demonic 'society' that demanded the executions of millions of little defenceless children.

    Amazing Grace launches this month in Australia. Go and see it!

I think often of the baby who came into my life at an inconvenient time, and who I decided to kill. I think of him with feelings of grief, guilt, and loneliness. This year, this month of July, he (I always knew it was a boy) would have been 24. He was conceived in October, aborted in December. I killed him even though I looked in a biology book and saw the fetus pictures. But, I had been raised in a "good" home where there just aren't out-of-wedlock babies. There was not a father in the picture. (It was casual sex with the use of a condom that didn't work.) The guy denied it was his and said he would not help at all. I was studying to be a teacher. I thought of all those women who have a baby and that becomes their life, and they become secluded. I was afraid of that.  

Part of me wanted a baby, but because abortion was legal, I figured it was a viable option. I knew there was a life in me, I knew if I gave birth to the child I couldn't give it up, but I also just couldn't keep it, I thought. So, the quick-fix seemed right. The problem was, they told me the pregnancy wasn't far enough along to abort, so they made me wait about 5 weeks before doing it. I was "showing" when I had it done! I've always been convinced I was farther along than they thought, and that I killed a being who was physically quite formed.  

I feel his presence sometimes, and I'm not so sure it's a loving presence. I don't think he can forgive me. There is a family member missing, and I know that. It is such a burden to know that I have paid to have someone kill my child. How can this be legal? As Mother Theresa said, it's a holocaust....  

I believe that someday in heaven I'll meet the son I killed. I pray that there will be forgiveness for me, and that I can at last hold him and spend eternity getting to know him. If I could go back, I would let him live! A song was popular at the time, "Turn on Your Heart Light." I wish I would have turned mine on in time, and walked out of that abortion clinic before they sucked my baby from my body. The only counseling I got was afterwards, when the doctor said to me, "I'm sure you had good reasons for doing this."  

But for all these years I have grieved. Killing my child has not made my life better, but has given me a wound that does not heal, and a secret shame that causes me to grieve alone.  

God bless all of you women like me who have been wounded by abortion, and all the children who have been snuffed out. And if you're thinking of abortion, try to love that living person who is already there, whether you can see him or her, or not. As difficult as it may be, that baby is already yours. Paying someone to kill it does not erase the fact of motherhood. This child needs a mother to protect her from harm.

G'day jf,

    Thank you for taking the time to tell your experience. The media and some twisted, evil and ignorant people are continually hurting women and destroying families and lives with their pro-'abortion' propaganda. Women and society need more victims from this terror campaign to stand against the death camps within our cities. Jf, continue to speak out, refuse to be silenced, fight back against these terrorists. Americans murder more of their own children each day than were killed on 9/11 - So, who are the real terrorists? 

    This site should be helpful to you: http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org/ I appreciate you taking the time to stand in defence of unborn children. Believe me, lives will be saved due to you revealing the truth of 'abortion'. Please consider placing an AbortionTV sticker on your car.      http://www.abortiontv.com/Misc/HowToContribute.htm

    God knows, kids lives depend on it!

                                                                                                                                            Peter Erbacher

Dear JF,  

I am sorry you regret your decision. I do however think you were more than educated on the subject. You admit you did research, but then say because it was legal it was an option. Your right it is an option, but it was not the right one for you.  

I don't smoke, yet it is legal. I CHOOSE not to. I do not blame others for things I have control of. You had control and you made a choice. Stop blaming propaganda for your decision. This is the year 2007 and abortion is brought up in every political debate. When I drive by the clinic, I see protesters with pictures on the side of the road. As society we know what abortion is and what it consists of.

I hope that you learned from what you feel is a mistake for you. I hope you are either not having sex or have gone on the pill along with using a condom. You are a woman. Be strong, think and take care of yourself.

This is an honest question, that I haven't seem to get a straight answer on from any body.  it's jus a curious question of mine, that maybe you guys can answer.  don't get me wrong, I'm not really for or against abortion, I think its a women's choice. I would choose giving up the baby for adoption before abortion. but anyway, what about the rape victims who get pregnant?? and they aren't financially stable to take care of a baby, and cant take maternity leave?? I know there's the morning after pill, but some think that even birth control [the pill]  is wrong, so wouldn't the morning after pill be considered a form of abortion or wrong? so, if u can get back to me on that, that would be great. thank you.

AY 

You are correct, the MAP, �morning after pill� may be abortive.  It is a treatment which aims to prevent pregnancy by temporarily stopping eggs from being produced, by stopping fertilization, or by stopping implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus (MAP working in this manner is abortive).  Further, the �hard cases,� e.g. rape and incest, represent less than 1.5% of all abortions � as the majority are performed as a form of birth control.  In addition, studies continually reveal that women who aborted their baby conceived in rape regret the decision.  Of those giving an opinion, 94 percent of rape victims and 100 percent of incest victims said abortion was not a good option for other women in their situation. (see study).

AbortionTV

I chose abortion when I was raped at 15.  I turned around and did it at 17, when I was raped again.  I call myself "pro-choice" as well.  You make your own choices.  Honestly, in a situation like that I should have chosen adoption.  Knowing the situation would not have been prime for me to raise a child in, (I also had a bad family life during all of that) it would have been best for the baby, and a childless couple could be raising a baby.  News Flash from a Morning after Pill Taker...............IT DOESN'T WORK as well as the medical media and the regular media portray.  I have taken the morning after pill and 3 months later was still pregnant.  So using the MAP is not and shouldn't be a safety net.

Dear AY:  

I wanted to research some of your questions. While it would be with prejudice if a pregnant woman were fired or not hired due to her condition I am sure it happens everyday. However, it is against the law. In 1993 the Family and Medical Leave Act was passed.  

The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (Pub.L. 103-3, enacted February 5, 1993) is a United States labor law allowing an employee to take unpaid leave due to a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform his job or to care for a sick family member or to care for a new son or daughter (including by birth, adoption or foster care). It was one of the first major bills signed by President Bill Clinton in his first term, fulfilling a campaign promise.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_and_Medical_Leave_Act 

I am an advocate of Emergency Contraception. Please note that this is not the "abortion pill". ER must be taken within 72 hours of the unprotected sexual act. Abortion tv provided how the pill works. If you believe that life begins at fertilization then you should take the chance with ER. There are side effects but till now no deaths have occurred nor have I seen any horror stories or emotional regrets sent in to this site or others about people and their experience with ER. I have seen letters concerning people who will not distribute this because of their ethical views. Now that ER is available to all over 18 without a prescription it should hopefully reduce the abortion number. If a woman is already pregnant...it will NOT abort the pregnancy. It can take up to a week for an egg to attach itself to a uterine wall. So obviously the sooner the better when taking ER.  

Regarding rape and incest, I am not a fan of stats. This site will produce them when it works for them. So here are some that have nothing to do with abortion but do you believe every rape is reported? Not even close.  

  61% of rapes/sexual assaults are not reported to the police. Those rapists, of course, never serve a day in prison. (1999 NCVS)

 Wow...it takes a tremendous amount of strength and courage for a woman to accuse a man of rape. You can us all the stats you want...women do not report rapes. So to make an assumption of how many abortions are because of rape would be inaccurate. Also, note that most hospitals do offer ER to rape victims, which if taken within 72 hours will eliminate the decision of having an abortion. Which, as said by this site, can be just as traumatic as the rape itself.  

We learned this past election that as much as this country would like to have abortion restrictions they are in no way shape or form ready to make it illegal or are they ready to take out the option for rape and incest. This in essence was why potentially the toughest law on the books was rejected by the people of South Dakota.  

In short you must decide what you believe in and what is right for your and your family. That is why we have the ability to choose.

Cordially,

MSG

My girlfriend has had 2 abortions. The first one , we both regretted, so we planned to have one and keep it. She got pregnant and then her parents told her to get rid of it.

So behind my back, she went to the clinic and had it done and IM SO DEPRESSED. SO HURT. 

Her parents are evil. 

She got pregnant again and now is thinking about a third abortion , PLEASE HELP HER by emailing me and I will forward the response to her.

WM

G'day WM, 

This is for you and everyone else who is suffering from the ramifcations of 'abortion'.

                                        http://www.survivorsofabortion.org.au/loved.html

I'm sorry mate, I don't think there is much I could do for you. What you can do however, even if you can't save the life of your third child, is to fight this institution of terror. It really is no trouble to order an AbortionTV.com bumper sticker and put it on your car. You can make a difference. We are turning the tide and winning the war on terror. Join the fight, and put this evil back into the dark ages.

All the best mate, let us know how it's going. Stay in touch.

Peter Erbacher

Dear WM

25 June 2007 

There is no way to understand this problem, out side of God's Word.  There is no way to deal with this problem, outside of God's revealed Word. 

You mention the word "evil"--not a very popular word in today's postmodern U.S society.  In a philosophy that sees no right and wrong, all do what is right in their own eyes--innocent are murdered-value neutral.  In this view, one cannot see the sanctity of life, the blessing God places in the womb, and the responsibility to care and exersize sacrifical love--an uphill battle in a fallen world.  You see, WM, there is no way to tell what is evil, and what is not, without the revealed Word of God.  As I have said before, when I have addressed this issue, no matter if I write or speak, this is a matter of the heart. 

If you read the first thee chapters of the Genesis account, the over arching theme (main point) is that we are created by God (which is good) but we, as off spring of Adam, are fallen (which is evil).  The modern philosophies of womans' rights--that by passes the sacred gift in the womb--feeds into our fallen nature--and passes the death penelty to the innocent--is the most sincere form of expression of evil.  King Harod (New Testament) tried to have the baby Jesus killed--and this murderous nature is part of our death/self-god/fallen nature--beginning with the first human murder in the afore mentioned Genesis account.  

All I can say WM, is that the problem you see, fleshed out before your eyes--is a spiritual one--in this case--the murder of the innocent life, with the blessing of evil laws that allows it!

WM, get with a Bible beleiving group of people, and pray and try to love this fallen puppet of the culture of death.  Write down your thoughts of the matter in a journal, and keep track of the cultural trends on the issue--on web sites like this one.  As the culture of death attempts to mind-wipe God, His Word and Law (the foundation of U.S. Culture) we will become a more violent nation--and the death toll will increase--in the womb and out side of the womb. 

Despite the attempts to over turn Roe v. Wade (1973) and subsequent laws, we will have to continue to battel the Culture of Death, for it is in the fallen, evil nature of human being to target the weake--and use any human-contireved justification to do so.  Torch the high-sounding human philosophies with the Word of God, and you have sin--in its raw form, and Death (Satan)--and the fleshed-out war on the unborn.   

WM, only the Spirit of the Living God can penetrate an evil heart, and cause change.  No good, biblical based laws and good biblicaly based logic (reason) can do so.  We have an erorading law base in our U.S. culture--and most faithful attenders of Church, remain Bible- illiterates--so, WM. it is an uphill spiritual battle. 

All said and done, there is Hope!  "That if thou shalt canfess with ty mouth, the Lord Jesus, and shat believe in thine heart that God hath raised him for the dead, thou shalt be saved" Romans 10:9.  Death had no ultimate power over Jesus, and that same power that enabled Chirst to rise from the dead, can make one dead in sin, rise from the dead--into spiritual life.  I can make the matter no more clear than my 1611 King James Bible--the heart of the matter is the problem, the heart of the matter is the solution--The Heart of the Living God! 

Roger 

Dear WM,  

Here is what no one is telling you, and if it was your girlfriend was writing it would have been the first thing she was told. KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS!! You and she are pregnant again?? Condoms...you can put one on.  

I am sorry about your losses but you need to take control of the situation and be a man! Obviously you know she has no issue with abortion and you do. Yet you have no issue having unprotected sex with her over and over again. Hey...she is fertile and your sperm can swim...DO SOMETHING!! 

Don't be a hypocrite.

Unfortunately, I chose to have an abortion last November.  It was the worst mistake of my life.  I knew it was wrong, but I tried to cling to the pro-choice rhetoric and believe it would be all over in an hour.  To think I could do something so horrific and believe I could just sweep it under the rug emotionally.   

To any other women out there who are facing a crisis pregnancy and are on the fence about what to do, please do not make the horrible mistake I did.  The grief and remorse are unbearable.  I feel far more sorrow over losing this unborn baby than losing any person who was born, and I have lost a lot of relatives.  At least those people got to live their lives, and I got to know them--unlike my unborn baby whom I killed. 

You might think abortion is a quick fix, but it's not at all.  Far from it!  I felt a whopping 2 hours of relief after the abortion--and several months of ongoing severe depression.   

No matter what your reasons for having the abortion, nothing is worth it.  Anything you choose over your baby will have blood on it.  For instance, one reason I had the abortion was to pursue graduate school. But now, my degree and new career will be tainted by my baby's blood.  I would trade anything to have my baby back now. 

A driving factor in making the decision to abort was that I was under extreme anxiety during the pregnancy.  Anxiety will cause you to think very pessimistically and irrationally, making you more prone to abort.  It is your mind playing tricks on you.  After I had the abortion and the anxiety came down, I realized how completely senseless my abortion was, and I could think of a million solutions of how to have the baby and pursue the other things in life I wanted to pursue. 

If you are experiencing extreme anxiety, there is an antianxiety drug called buspirone (Buspar) which is safe to take during pregnancy.  Ask your doctor about taking it.  I had assumed no drug would be safe to take; I only found out I could have taken buspirone after the pregnancy.  If I had known that before, I might have been able to bring down my anxiety, and my baby might have been saved.  If you do not want to take drugs, other methods to bring down anxiety include hypnosis and acupuncture.  Give them a try.  You cannot make a sound decision if you are under severe anxiety.   

Please don't put yourself through the hell I'm going through now.  If I can save one baby's life and one woman from going through the emotional agony I am now going through, my precious baby's death will not have been in vain.

Hi, i just finished reading some stories of people who have decided not to have an abortion and i cant help but think how many of them have children and then ahhhh my god get pregnant again, what about educating safe sex and protected sex, im against abortion i think it is murder, my sister had one and it changed her she will never be the same person, she has a daughter now and every time she looks at her she wonders if the first child would have looked like her. i also get mad at women who just dont have a brain in their heads and have sex with out thinking then make them selves sound like heroes for not going through with the abortion! your site is good but prevention is the best cure to anything 

Jf

We couldn't agree with you more about prevention being the solution.  Please see our sections on "avoiding it altogether."

AbortionTV

 I do agree with the first step in preventing poor choices is some form of birth control.  I for one will be educating my children about it once they become an age that they can understand it.  I will also provide them birth control that way it is accessible to them.  Communication is the key.   

My local health units here in Louisiana and local doctors' offices provide free condoms.  Free birth control, etc.  I would rather pay for that than "surprise" pregnancy in teens.   

Parents also need to face the fact that regardless of hoping our kids don't have sex, is a hope falling on deaf ears.   

My husband and I can also teach our children what the consequences of not being married and in love when people have sex.  You feel horrible, a baby where the father splits, abortions which might cause you to never have kids again, mental health issues, etc.  My kids also are growing up in a household where my husband and and I chose to have kids young due to my health issues.  It's not easy.  You'd rather have a good job, some sort of stability, etc first.

I am 16 years old and the mother of 2 babies. One of them did not make it. When I was pregnant with my 1^st child I was being pushed into abortion. When I was 9 weeks along I was seriously thinking about aborting him. I was going through everything that most pregnant teens go through. I had jus broke up with my boyfriend, he didn�t want anything to do with the baby, my parents were angry. I just didn�t want to be a teen mother. I didn�t know how I was going to raise a child by myself. I went into depression and started searching the web for information on abortion. I then came to your site an stated looking at all of the pictures and watched all of the videos. Thanks to this site, I changed my mind. I was going to keep my baby. Unfortunately when I was 24 almost 25 weeks I lost the baby. He was with us for 6 hours and then passed. I named him Machia Anthony and he was 2 lbs. 3 oz.  Holding Machia in my arms was the best feeling in the world. I can not believe that I was so close to killing my baby.   

I am now in a happy relationship with a man that I love and we have a 5 week old baby named Zaidyn. Zaidyn was born on April 30^th at 5:30 p.m., he was 7 lbs 10 oz. and 21 inches long.  He is my life. I wouldn�t give him up for anything. I have attached a picture of him when he was about 2 weeks. Thank you for being here for me. If it weren�t for you, my 1^st baby wouldn�t have been born.

Hello, 

I have to say I have never really taken much notice of the abortion issue. I saw a sticker somewhere with �abortiontv.com� on it & decided to check it out. I am very glad I did. I viewed the pictures of aborted babies & cannot grasp the notion that anyone could ever refer to these little people as �insignificant tissue�. I have a 14 year old son & I was rather young when I had him (18). Abortion never crossed my mind, although it was raised by some of my family. After visiting your site, I am grateful for my child even more. It could have been so easy to let my family bully me into aborting.

To all the women who struggled with the issue & kept the baby, I hereby award you all a lifetime bouquet of your favourite flowers.

Having said that, I remain pro-choice & to all the women who have felt there was no choice and went through with the abortion, my sympathies & thoughts are with you.

Never ever an easy decision.

Congratulations also to AbortionTV.com for a very informative site. It is both welcoming & non-judgmental, very well balanced & one which all young women should visit. 

Best Regards

Heidi

I read your note, and I find myself curious. 

You support those who have chosen not to abort, but you are still pro-choice - why?  I don't understand how you can look at those pictures (I never have - they make me cry) and commend this site while saying you are still pro-choice. 

Why did you write?  Why did you feel it necessary to share that little "I'm still pro-choice" blurb?  I don't think people assume that abortion is an easy choice.  But, (wait while I get up on my little soap box) once again, sex is designed to cause one party to get pregnant.  That is the point and the purpose of sex.  I believe in choice, too.  But the choice comes WAY before you find yourself pregnant.  The choice was made when you decided to have sex.  And I guess I don't understand why people are not getting that. 

HQ

Dear Heidi, 

     Thank you for your responsible choice made 14+ years ago that offers hope for all of us in the life of your son and the lives he touches.  I, too, am pro-choice with a necessary qualifier (see below) of a quality without which we would cease to exist.  Your letter lacked this, even though, you possess Life.  This phrase is confusing " to all the women who have felt there was no choice? How can 

No Choice" be Pro-choice"?  It may be, as you say, "Never ever an easy decision," but it is in today's world the most often performed surgical procedure > 3500 times a day. A few years ago that number was > 4500, which may mean we are winning or sadly, enough females may have been aborted in Thirty-four Years to cause the reduction.

     Please consider joining me and others, who are not trying to eliminate all irresponsible choices except the one which eliminates another from ever making any choices.

     BTW: I have the Sticker, Abortiontv.com, on my car.

Peace, Matthew

Dear Sir or Madam, 

I have found your website to be extremely interesting and informative.  I found it a few years ago while working at a Crisis Pregnancy Center in Chicago and have continued to check it frequently as I am out of the abortion loop right now.  I appreciate your honesty and kind support of women who write to you from both sides of the fence, and especially appreciated ML's response to the 5/19 email from RH.  That being said, I was very disturbed that you printed the email from Peter Erbacher.  I have found his previous emails to be quite scathing, albeight true, but this particular email was completely out of line.  Not only was he not correctly addressing the email sent by RH, but he also condoned an act which no one should support, and if they do, should not be printed on such a website.  Prolife cannot be so extreme as to include the killing of abortion providers.  Although we all agree that what they are doing is heinous, it is not in our hands to take their lives.   

I am sure that you have received many emails regarding Peter's response and would ask thet you remove his email and address him directly.   It is not only insulting to your site, but also insulting to the prolife cause. 

Best,

Kristen S.

    G'day Kristen S,

    Shooting an  a butcher nist  is perfectly acceptable, if you really believe that it is little children who are being butchered. If, however, all they are doing is removing 'clots' or 'tissue', then I wouldn't condone shooting them.

    Let's just say a madman has barricaded himself inside a school of 4,000 kids. Every hour he will butcher two children with a machette. Four days have passed, 193 children have been mutilated, 3807 to go!Let's also say that someone brandishing a rifle has access to this murderer, let's say it's you. What do you do? Allow the mutilations to continue just because you are 'prolife'? Maybe on the last day, just before killing the last child, he 'finds Jesus' and can repent? Maybe he doesn't?

    We can be airy-fairy and and jump up on the high moral horse and say it's wrong to kill anyone. Well, in the above situation, it's justified; It's also biblical *shock*. For what it's worth, I'd never shoot an abortionist. I pray that all of the butchered Australians will forgive me. I can accomplish more outside of a prison. However, I take my hat off to, and thank God for every man or woman who has the courage and conviction to stand in direct defence of these condemned children.

                                                                                                                                                              Peter Erbacher

Dear Kristen,

Agreed, Peter is cruel and unusual at times but we all know what drama brings...ratings. Without him the site would not be as exciting so they will keep him talking.  

It is also his right to free speech and yours to voice your collective opinions.  

I do however believe that in this day in age you may want to watch what you say on a public site, such as advocating the deaths of "baby killers". I imagine his next plane ride out of the country might be made a little more complicated when he his name pops up on a no fly list.  

Big brother is always watching.

Hi I don't have a story to tell but I do know that I really love your website and it has changed my life forever. I always was against abortion and I know that it is a hard thing to go through.. But I just wanted to say my sympathy goes out to all the mothers on this website. And im really sorry. But I really love the fact that you changed a woman and her boyfriends mind and saved a childs life keep up the good work!!! 

5/19/07

I am pro life with two exceptions. You may hate me all you want for this, but the sad fact is that some abortions are necessary to save the life of the mother or ultimatley save the life of an unborn child that would needlessly suffer and die a few minutes to a few days after birth.

My story involves both scenarios.

When I got pregnant with my fourth child (I have two healthy beautiful little kids, my third child died due to complications arising from his prematurity) the ultrasound showed that not only did my unborn baby suffer from anencephaly (basically meaning that my baby's brain never developed) but I had spilliage of protien in my urine and my liver was starting to enlarge. I had preeclampsia which in itself is not life threatening unless it turns into eclampsia which can cause seizures and death to the mother. Thoroughly investigating our options, my husband and I decided on an elective termination of the pregnancy, something I am truly saddened about but cannot regret. What life would my child have had, what chance for survival...with the congenital abnormality that it had (I had to undergo the procedure before we were able to find out the sex of the baby due to my rapidly declining health) there was no chance of survival. I cannot regret my decision. My child would have had no life and I was close to death myself. I guess what I am trying to say is that there are some situations that cannot be avoided. My unborn child was not subjected to the horrible tearing of limbs or doused with saline, nor was I subjected to the suction method. I was given a pill that is similar to the morning after pill only a little stronger. The baby was delivered intact (12 weeks gestation) and the absence of its skull and brain were proof that suffering was sure to come if I had allowed the pregnancy to continue. Babies with anencephaly survive for roughly 3 minutes following a term delivery.

Now, that is as pro choice as I get. Being a teen mother and facing family members telling me to get an abortion, I went pro life and delivered my first son 5 weeks early at the age of 17. My then boyfriend (now my husband of 6 years) was always behind me on my decision not to abort even though his mother banned him from seeing me. I delivered my daughter (also early, 12 weeks this time) a year and a half later. My third child was born at 24 weeks and he was in the NICU for four months of his life. He came home with us and died two weeks later due to complications of prematurity. We miss him and his younger sibling that never had a chance dearly.

As a survivor of rape (I did not get pregnant) I would never subject an innocent product of a hateful crime to a needles death. I must also say that if I had become pregnant with a child as a byproduct of my rape, I could not honestly take care of it. (I was 14 when I was raped) But I would still choose life...its called adoption.

My point is you can be pro life and still choose when it is necessary to do so for the life of your unborn child or yourself. I feel if we make abortion illegal, there should be only two exceptions....the mother's life and the unborn baby's life (or lack of).

And for those who think I am cruel for not sacrificing myself to save my unborn child, ask yourselves this, "If I was in her situation, had two other children that depended on me, and had a child inside of me with a chance of survival for at the most three minutes after birth, what would I do?" And for those who think I'm cruel for terminating a child's life because of a congenital abnormality, ask yourselves this, "What is crueler, allowing a child to be born and suffer for three agonizing minutes, struggling to breathe, struggling to keep a pulse, struggling to live because the only part of this child's brain is a small underdeveloped brain stem that only regulates the heartbeat and breathing, this baby can't see, can't cry, can't hear and can't feel anything, or taking a pill that causes no pain to the baby (anencephalic babies do not have any pain receptors due to the fact that the part of the brain that recepts pain is missing in this abnormality) and only vomiting in the mother?"

Hi there RH,

I'm very sorry to hear of your ordeal and the loss of your little one. I hope that you are able to access the support you need to heal.

I'm also sorry that you have started your story with "you may hate me for this." This tells me that you are expecting judgement and condemnation for what you did. Well, I can't speak for others, but as a woman who is prolife and who has also had children, there is none of that from me and i certainly hope, none of that from anyone else either.

What I want to say about this issue is, yes, you are right, there are some really awful things that happen in life and there are some things that we can't avoid. With your case, only you, your doctor and God knows whether there was an alternative to what happened with you. I wish to offer some thoughts on this. While this situation you were in is rare, it does happen. There are a few things in your letter though, that are assumptions either by yourself or by the doctor who advised you - namely, that your baby would suffer for "three agonising minutes" and that there would be "struggling" and vomiting from the mother. ( I presume, vomiting in response to the horrible situation?) I also want to point out that if the baby lacks senses as you say, then there is likely to be little suffering from the baby, but obviously the mother may be suffering a great deal of distress. I have not gone through this myself, but i do have a good friend who went through this same thing, only she chose to continue the pregnancy (she didn't have health problems herself however, but the baby did have anencephaly). She was under immense pressure to abort, every single time she attended a hospital appointment in fact. She resisted this pressure and was able to enjoy her time with the baby in her womb, she gave birth normally and held her baby for several hours before he died naturally in her arms. Her husband, her whole family gathered around to welcome this little baby into the world and to then farewell him too. He was named and given a funeral and is remembered fondly by his family, including his siblings. This experience, while agonising, is a normal grieving experience to go through, and abortion can cut short this normal, healthy process. When the grieving process is interfered with, whether it be due to the death of an unborn baby or someone else close to us, this can lead to future emotional problems. With an abortion, there can be an expectation that the mother will "get on with it." She goes to the hospital pregnant and comes back not pregnant. Because the family haven't seen the baby there is no baby to acknowledge and therefore no loss to recognise either. The mother's grief can be dismissed too easily. I don't know if this is the case with you and your family, I sincerely hope not because you are a grieving mother and need to be treated properly.

I think you are a very brave woman to have gone through the things you went through - remember to ask for help if/when you need it. The personal issues you have shared are *huge* and you should not underestimate the lasting impact they can have on your life.

Kind regards,
ML

G'day RH, 

Are you aware how often the "doctors" and tests get it wrong? It's a lot more common than most people think. That aside, your child died at your hands. It is better to love your child for three minutes after he or she is born than to murder him or her based on a "doctor's" advice or some test. Where do you draw the line? How can you define where others can draw the line? 

Your situation was unusual but there is no need to try and justify the taking of a little child's life. It's worse that you're trying to sell others on this idea. It's great that you are pro-life, I'm not. I'm pro-choice and anti-'abortion'.   

Killing children, raping children, assulting women or drink-driving, etc, should never be a choice. If, on the other hand, someone decided to shoot a baby-killer, I'm not against that. The people who do that are heroes, defending the lives of unborn Americans, Australians, etc. It's never ok to butcher children. Sometimes that calls for direct force, especially when the police turn a blind eye to the massacre.  

                                                                                                                                                Peter Erbacher

Dear RH who wrote a letter on 5 19 2007 

      I just read your letter and I want to say one thing how would your baby have suffered if it were born? Remember it had no pain sensory so it would not have suffered  It was you, you did not want to continue with the pregnancy if you were not going to have a baby at the end and you didn�t love your child unconditionally you only wanted a normal baby at the end. I f I were the parent of one of those children I would have given birth held my baby for what precious time we had together I would have held/kissed him or her told him/her how much I loved them and that I would see them in heaven one day you robbed yourself of those moments and you can never get them back and you have to live with that. You also have no faith in GOD, GOD can work miracles! you should have gone to him with your problem he could have help you, for example I know of a girl that did drugs her whole pregnancy I think it was crack but I am not sure and she was told that because of her drug use her baby had not grown properly and was too small to go through the birth canal and be born alive. Well this mother found GOD before her baby was born and PRAYED and asked the whole church to PRAY for her baby and her child was born alive, healthy and drug free with out a C section GOD does do miracles all you have to do is ask the sad thing is now its too late for your child and that�s your fault

      PS  You can�t say that your pro life and do the opposite in the bible it says that it is ok to save a mother�s life with abortion either way you�re trading one life for another or maybe both would die however it is not ok to abort because the child would be a �burden� (no child is ever a burden) to their family  !

PS  also why does it matter as to what method you aborted if the baby felt no pain? You took medication to stop your baby�s beating heart ( like a heart attack is not painful) so why is that better than being torn apart or saline? And thank GOD you saved yourself from having to go through suction. 

           I don�t hate you I don�t like you

 Sincerely

              Brianna and Rachel�s mom and mom to whoever else GOD would give to me handicap or not ,three minutes together or a life time

I have to say I have been reading responses and responding myself for many years. This letter was one that was different from most but received some of the most disturbing responses.  

RL, I am sorry for your loss. You and your husband were educated on the situation and made the best decision for yourself and your family. I wonder would it have been better for you to take the chance with your health and possibly leave your two children and husband without you to take a chance on a potential miracle? Two in fact, one that your fourth child would live a normal and productive life and that suddenly your health would also turn around and no longer be a threat?  

I don't believe people who want to see abortion illegal like stories like that. It proves there are cases that are for the life of the mother. This would be one.  

The people who responded to you should stop going to the doctor. Apparently they do not believe in modern medicine, and believe that God will solve all their issues. Kudos to them. Yes, maybe it would have helped and brought closure but what would they say if you had lost your life as well? We wouldn't be hearing this story then.  

You made a decision and I thank you for sharing. We cannot understand until we walk in those shoes and I believe that is why most of America doesn't believe abortion should be illegal. Safe, legal, and rare.

To the culture warriors--those that fight for life--The Culture Of Life.

I attempt to read and consider arguments the Culture Of Death uses, to justify their Satanic craft.  I usually try to compare them to the Nazi's, in that, they re-defined life--to determine who and who is not worthy of life.  Alas, that analogy falls short, by millions.

The Nazi death machine was never as efficient as the human meat grinders of today--all with the blessings of godless governments. 

I must admit, there are some sophisticated arguments, along with the standard uncritical ones.  As a whole, even the most technical and elaborate arguments for death--are re-packaged old arguments.  All pro-murder arguments contain the stench of death, no matter the level of artistic and stylistic expression.  At the Judgment seat of God, all pro-death arguments will cease and desist.  Remember the Word, the last enemy to die, is death! 

My bothers and sisters, with the death toll rising--and more blood on this nation's hands, it comforts me that God is in control. This Nation's documents and founding principles contradict the current Judicial systems re-interpretation.  Remember well, also, the Word says "the Scripture cannot be broken."  God will not allow evil to continue, forever!  Even if my Nation's Founding Documents are twisted beyond recognition, God's Eternal Word remains! 

At this point, I think the most common theme of the Culture Of Death, is their love of Money or their hatred of the Creator God.  Perhaps it is a combination of both.  I cannot think of a more hateful thing, (other than the mockery of Jesus sacrificial death and subsequent Resurrection) than to murder the lives that God has placed in the womb.  The Culture Of Death, needs their religious sacrament--the murder of the innocent--in the tradition of Cain (Genesis 4). 

I find it hard to believe that a legal decision, Roe Vs. Wade--hanging by a legal thread, holds so much power--so much death.  I know that in my country, laws and opinions are changing, but that is part of the problem.  Even if opinions change, for life, the pendulum could sway back the other direction, and the murder machine could run again. 

I encourage the Culture Of Life to consider the heart of the matter--for the whole of the subject is a matter of the heart.  God's Word delineates between the natural and spiritual man, and the fact that the natural man (person) cannot know the things of God.  Matters of the Spirit of the Living God--His Gift of life, let alone Salvation, is a subject of ridicule (media) and death (abortions).  Read, re-read and meditate on the contrast of the Natural and Spiritual man (I Corinthians 2). 

I hope this letter of encouragement gets posted.  More so, I hope the Word gets read, and the Culture Of Life keeps in mind, that this is a Spiritual battle!  Pray for God's Spirit to touch and change the hearts of the Culture Of Death.

I was 16 years old when I found out I was pregnant. I thought my world was falling apart and that I had no one. My mom wasn�t really supportive in the beginning. She was the main person that wanted me to have an abortion. My child�s father was told not to talk to me anymore by his mother and I received phone calls from her everyday pressuring me to have an abortion.  And no one in my family really supported me.  So I was surfing the web when I found a teen mom message board and a link to AbortionTV.com.  I think I visited the site maybe three times a day for a whole week. The last day that I visited the site I saw the ultrasound of a real abortion being performed and how the fetus was trying to get away from the vacuum before it was eventually sucked up and I decided that no matter who didn�t approve I was going to have my baby.  And now here I am almost six years later with a wonderful, brilliant, beautiful, precious daughter and I wouldn�t trade her for the world.  Neither would my mom or anyone else in my family.  I am glad that AbortionTV is here to help confused people, like I was, make the best decision of their lives. 

LS

Congratulations on making the right decision, in spite of the intense influence by others to pressure you into killing your child.  It's always interesting that people are willing to kill and "unseen" child, yet change their position completely once the child is born.  We are also adding your letter to "Aborted Abortions."

AbortionTV

LS

 I am thankful that you decided to allow the life that God started in you, to live.  I am also thankful to the people of this site, and sites like it, that has the guts and heart to tell the truth, even if graphic pictures are used. LS, if you would, could you reduce your thoughts to a diary, or a note pad?  Perhaps you could write a pamphlet or book, on the subject--and be an encouragement to others. 

It is a blessing from God, that, despite all the discouragement, you followed the heart and mind that God gave you, and saw life, simply for what it is, LIFE!  Some persons are so brutal and calloused--demonic is the only word that does their character justice

I attempt to understand the arguments of the pro-death class--and one argument has to do with pregnant teens.  As I understand them, they hold that pro-lifers "victimize" influential teens with their "opinions."  When it comes to life, the value of life, and the definition of life, the only opinions are ones generated by the culture of death.  God and God alone has the right to determine when life begins--and His Word is clear.  Some of the most beautiful expressions of His stance on life, is Psalms 139--coupled with the real-to-life, here-and-now example you hold in your arms! 

The culture of death is not beyond God's judgment, and one day, the murderers may face, not only God, but may face all the persons they had killed, while on earth.  I do not have a chapter and verse to back that up, LS, but, to me, that would be a good thing!  I do not know why God allows this evil to continue, but I do know He has it all under His control--and this evil will not last forever. 

Between the cradle and the grave, wicked hearts will issue death to the innocent, while it is they, not the culture of life, that is a threat to a pregnant teen.

Over a period of two hundred years, approximately 100, 000 Australians have been killed in various wars and skirmishes. It's sobering to realise that we kill that same number of Australians each and every year by abortion.

I dont have any bad abortion story.  The facility was clean, the people were nice.  I should have a 4 yr old.  My best friends' 4 yr old is an everyday reminder to me.  I wanted nothing to do with the father even though he was 110% in love with me. 

I regret it everyday.  It took me about 2 yrs to regret it-- but now that's it is here, it won't go away. 

If I could go back... God, if I could go back to that day.  I am so sorry.

I am having trouble conceiving with my husband (different guy).  Ironic huh?  I've never told husband about my abortion.   

KD

Dear KD,

    You begin, "I don't have a bad abortion story," and by the sixth sentence and "about two yrs"  admit, "I regret it everyday."  It's difficult to imagine a 'good' abortion story, unless it is the one sought but walked out of before the fact, but that's a story about "life," winning in the end and it always does in ways we cannot imagine.

    Now, "difficulty in conceiving," which may be caused by your abortion that your husband does not know about are all elements of your story creating huge conflicts that your letter displays.

   Counseling from your Pastor or another woman who has walked in your shoes is what is needed to answer the call of the sorrow you have. I hope you have a wise Pastor and many if not all Pregnancy Help Centers (CPCs) should be able to counsel you and not eliminate your sorrow, but help you accept that One has already healed and forgiven you.

    Either of these counselors should be able to advise you on how to inform your husband, which would seem necessary for a healthy marriage.

   God bless you and your next decisions

Please,  Matthew

I am 20 years old, I had my aborted eight days ago. 18/4/07

I am currently in a loving relationship with my boyfriend. However we are inter-racial. I am a white scottish girl he is an indian boy-same age.  This created added pressure for me in all of my decisions. I was told if I were to keep our baby, his family may disown him or he would have to marry me quickly. We are both students are university...and don't have a stable career.  

To makes things worse-his parents don't know about me...not yet. We do plan to marry in the future. So it would be heart-break for his parents to find out everything all at once.  I understood all the "practical" terms of the reasons why not to keep my baby. Finance was a big issue being students as well as our family backgrounds, different customs and traditions.  I put my logical view into practice and we both arrange for the abortion free on the NHS. Everyone made it seem so practical. the doctor agreed with in my reasons. So I felt more "relaxed" in my choice.  I went for my scans and they referred to it as being just a "yolk sac" making me feel like yes-even though I am pregnant...it still wasn't a baby....more like a bunch of cells.

As the day of my abortion came into place-I recieved another scan. At this point I was 11 weeks already gone. They referred to my pregnancy that there was a beating heartbeat. I was shocked, hurt and flooded emotions. Maybe I was naive or maybe I was in denial.   I felt I couldn't leave...I thought Im here now, I have to have it-after all there is all my reasons which are deemed "practical". I had the surgical abortion. I was told that I would go to sleep and wake up and sure everything would be normal. I say normal in idea of being known what to expect. I knew all the side-effects provided by the doctors. I also arranged to have an implant fitted into my left arm to stop any unwanted pregnancies in the future.

I remeber falling asleep...and then the worst moment for me...was waking up in recovery. I burst into tears...I felt robbed........only before I was pregnant and now I'm not. I felt alone....  

Nothing can ever heal my pain. My views are that yes my baby will be in heaven. But the biggest feelings I have is...I now no longer feel pregnant. Yes I agreed to the abortion....but I never knew my body was giving and showing feelings. I had no morning sickness in all the 11 weeks...I counted myself lucky..... but in all honesty.........its the biggest regret ever. Ive cried in my bf arms so many times. He cares and loves me soo much.  

The decision I made was wrong. I convinced myself I was right in what I was doing for myself and others....... but ultimately.......your true decision hit me once I had the abortion. It is important to think of yourself.  I have named my baby-and every day I pray for forgiveness and love upon my baby. People have told me that time will heal my pain.........but nothing can ever take a mother's pain away for her baby.

I am a mother after-all....I just don't have my baby.

After meeting many different women who've chosen to have and not have abortions I needed some time away from the issue. Either way it was an emotional one. I forced myself to have a chemical abortion using my own means, but it wasn't till my 2 pregnancy that I acknowledged i had been pregnant. The shape and outline of the baby was completely recognizable and I kept that within me for years. 

I've found the deep anger and bitterness was in me when I was confronted by others regarding my hypocrisy that I didn't feel anything about what I had done. After I gave birth to my 2nd baby I realized a baby acts different in the womb as well, meaning that the fetus has its own thoughts and feelings. It has the ability to play when stimulated to move and some babies are quieter than others. My 2nd pregnancy and 1st live born child were the opposite and still both boys. The pregnancy were anything but textbook, but both babies are perfect and are always laughing and smiling. 

I believe that abortion can cause Post Traumatic Syndrome, meaning they relive the whole thing sometimes out of feelings of guilt and powerlessness. I know I still relive that night, but it didn't start till I held my second son and realized they were both gorgeous and perfectly formed from head to toe. 

The women I've seen that choose life never can feel guilt when they hold their own son or daughter. Women who abort will possibly be faced to wonder about this when they have a child..

Thanks for the chance to post some of the things that women go thru. I didn't feel it than, but I do feel it now.  

Thanks,

As one in the mind sciences, older (heading into my 50's) there are certain aspects of the Culture Of Death, that needs addressed.  Since God revealed His Will, Mind and Intentions, I can only operate within His frame work, for the mind sciences, at best, are fallible (inconsistent/contradictory) observations of man. 

Post trauma (you mentioned) is an issue that I must deal with, on a daily basis.  In simple terms, a person suffers from the after effects of a physical/mental and emotional event.  In some movies, scenes of actual events are shown, as the person awakens from a dream--as a visual example.  

Jennifer, you touched on an area of interest, and I am tempted to write an in depth critical analysis (on a clinical level) and a biblical analysis (on the theological/application level).

That is not possible at this writing, but I can touch on a few areas, that the Culture Of Life, and Death can further research. For the Culture Of Life, that means information to support life, for the latter, it is just more condemnation, as they continue their craft of death--despite the findings of Science that has caught up with God's Word.  Ultra sound and other forms of technology has nothing on King David (see Psalms 139, Old Testament). 

One does not know, at this time, the long term effects on the woman, after an abortion.  Money is not available to clinical professionals (skilled in testing), that wants to pursue this area--and many that write on the moral aspect of abortion, are not clinically trained to understand the post-trauma to the women--in specific, children born in this country, after 1973, and society, as a whole.  Money for a busted fingernail, depression for not having the means to be a Paris Hilton--and hurt feelings for being a Paris Hilton--are available into the millions, for such wasted clinical time and academic talent. Useless studies, wasted ink--and boring conclusions are available, in the U.S. data sources--for what passes as mind-science. 

God's Word uses a term, that means past feeling--mind numb (some translations use the term "reprobate").  There will come a time when persons will be so numb, in heart and mind, that they will not "feel" any thing, concerning their evil deeds.  A good example is the persons at the Nazi Concentration Camps--as they gassed and burned non-persons.  There is a biblical and clinical depth, concerning the matter, space does not permit me to address--but the bottom line: The de-humanizing process is in direct proportion to the degree that a nation is godless.  In my country, the IRS visits Churches, inspects religious speech, and has the power to determine what is, and what is not "free speech."  If a sermon touches on abortion, which is addressed in the Word of God, that church can lose its tax exempt status, and the assets can be seized, for what an IRS agent determines has crossed the line--into political speech.  Much the same with the Russian KGB and Nazi Gestapo--speech and thought police.  Part of the De-Human process in my "one nation, under God"--as our pledge touts, is the official government stance on declaring babies, non-human, and meeting out punitive measures for "violators" of godless laws.  I am such a "violator," for I will speak up against a godless law--point out the contradictions, and address matters of the heart--and, Oh Yeah, I vote! 

This, Jenifer, feeds into our Nation's pathology--the evils of murder--the extermination of non-persons.  Our children, mind-wiped of the Jewish-Christian heritage--will mindlessly support the Culture Of Death.  This mind-wipe indoctrination, is what some call education.  A pathology is a deeply ingrained part of the mind and soul--perhaps to the point of moral insanity--to wit: One cannot distinguish right and wrong.  Little children, with no clinical training, if shown certain pictures, will say: "Mommie, that is a picture of baby Jesus, in Mary's tummie."   With a version of clinical training, as an older adult, the same person would see the baby as "material," nothing more, nothing less.  In the name of "Science, so falsely called," and educated fool, a numb mine--can look at a woman with child, and see "material."  If this same person obtains a medial degree and can pass a test, that same person can "extract tissue"--murder, and retain the status: Doctor.

We are a more violent nation--and it is reflected in our children's games, and in today's news papers. Small wonder that the Culture Of Death hates actual pictures or films of their death- dealers implementing their satanic arts.  After death, as they roast in an eternal Hell (technically, the Lake Of Fire) perhaps their minds, with the pictures of the murdered babies, and their rejection of Christ, will be their post-trauma--their eternal night mare.  I do not know, but it would be eternal poetic justice. 

One of the gages of a healthy society, is the ability to discern or distinguish morally right from wrong.  In Cultural Marxism, there is no right and wrong, only an evolving understanding as a culture changes.  In that line of thinking, to call what Hitler did with the Jews, evil, is absurd.  In Moral relativistic thinking, all acts are of equal value--all cultures are equal! 

My brother Peter, from down under--to some, in a morally bank-rupt world, would consider his observations and comments extreme.  Perhaps he is from the land down under, but he is not standing on his head, telling the rest of the world, that it is they, not he, that is upside down.  Millions are murdered--and the only thing that upsets some, is Peter's ability to communicate the UN-varnished truth. Just one hundred years ago, in my ''all men are created equal" land, I would be subjected to extermination, for I am a half-breed (half-human) and considered a threat to the white race. Instead of an actual non-person, I would be a sub-non person (more of a non-person-or less of a non-person) and especially subjected to the extermination process.  I would suppose that if Peter wrote an analogy of the extermination of the American Indian, and I, of the Australian Aborigines, and compared the two extermination studies, to modern abortion, we would be considered extreme.  The Culture Of Death, with the blood of innocents on their hands, flips the bird to God and man, and calls those that expose their evil, "extreme"--are morally sick (the Word says, "spiritually dead") These persons are in such a state of denial, it would take an act of God, to re-new their calloused hearts.  I can imagine King Herod, calling the American Civil Liberties Union, and lodging a complaint against "extreme" people, calling his murder of babies, evil.  And Cain, the first recorded human murderer, filing civil suit against people calling the murder of his brother, evil.  I can also see P.E.T.A (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) suing the Holy family and the Inn Keeper, for distressing animals, by allowing Jesus to be born among animals, causing animal trauma.  Examples of moral insanity--sin!   

Jennifer, I encourage you to write down your thoughts, learn from this site, and join The Culture Of Life.  I encourage you to read God's Word, and see the consistency of the actual text--The Word Of God, instead of comments by the "unlearned and unstable," that does not know God, and cannot see that God places life in the womb.

When I was 18 years old I became pregnant by a 21 year old man I had been seriously dating, we had just broken up a week before when the two pink lines showed up. I was terrified, I had always wanted children but was unsure of what to do, when I told him I found out that he was already living with another woman and began verbally and emotionally abusing me, threatening to take our baby away when I did have it and all kinds of other things. I decided abortion was my only option,  I begged my parents for the money to have one done but they refused and rightfully so, in the back of my mind I knew I would regret it so eventually I just resigned myself that I was going to make it work.  I was only 18 years old, I had no job, no money, no high school diploma, no wonderful husband at my side but I made it through. I'm now almost 21 years old, my son is almost 18 months old and he is the light of my life, I love my son with all my heart and soul and not having him would have been the worst decision I could have ever made, I have a very nice job with benefits, my own apartment and am getting ready to begin college courses again. I want all the girls who are considering abortion to know that you do get through your struggles and there really is a light at the end of the tunnel. God Bless.

             I am Lily and a student of Leominster high. I think abortion should be legal in certain cases. At first, I wanted abortion to be illegal, but as my science teacher in Ghana ones told me if one have an ectopic pregnancy she must have an abortion inother to save her life that is why I think abortion should be legal in some case. I want to know how abortion came into existance? What can be done to make abortion legal in some cases? How did abortion drugs came into existance? Who should choose life for the unborn baby? I hope you will help me know more about abortion and also help me solve any question aboution. Thank you.

I am not in favor of abortion and never have been. Indeed, if one of my friends or my sister were pregnant, I would dissuade her from having an abortion in all but the most extreme of circumstances. I also agree with you on the fact that the number of abortions is alarmingly high, and that this is definitely a bad thing.

However, I do not believe that the best way to reduce the number of abortions is to make abortion illegal. This hasn't worked in the past, and it doesn't work today in countries that have outlawed abortion. Women will continue to get them illegally, or do it themselves... how is anyone going to stop a woman who's only a few weeks along from taking some pills and killing her child? A teenager could do such a thing behind their parent's back, which makes even the parental consent laws all but meaningless. What good is a law going to do if it can't be enforced?

Rather that reacting to this situation by attempting to ban abortion, a better thing to do would be pro-active and prevent such unplanned pregnancies from occurring in the first place. Your website states that 95% of women use abortion as a form of birth control rather than for health reasons. It would make sense that the way for bringing this number down is to give those 95% of women the means to prevent unintended pregnancies from ever occurring.

Planned Parenthood is a major source of low-cost contraception and many other medical resources for low-income people. They provide not only contraception, but STD and pregnancy tests, infertility treatment,  STD treatment, adoption referrals,  breast cancer screenings, and many other services. According to the most recent statistics that I could find (from 2006) these types of services make up the overwhelming majority of what Planned Parenthood offers: around 97%. Abortions make up just under 3%.

It is for this reason that I would oppose any kind of legislation or other action that would have a negative impact on Planned Parenthood or any similar clinic facility. It's true that getting a clinic shut down means that abortions won't be performed there anymore, but it also means that some low-income women won't have access to prenatal care. Saving one unborn child in a way that puts another at risk is not something that I will ever advocate. What I will (and do) advocate is comprehensive sex education for young people and adults, access to contraception, and accurate information on their proper use. If you are truly committed to reducing the number of abortions in this country, why not do the same? You already have one section dedicated to various methods of birth control, but it's incomplete. It provides only the very basic information, and what little information there is on the proper use of each method tends to be put under the "disadvantages" heading. Some of the disadvantages aren't really disadvantages at all. In the condoms section, you could indicate that people with allergies can use non-latex condoms or condoms without spermicide. You could also indicate that the likely reason for high failure rate among teenagers and unmarried couples is incorrect and inconsistent usage; a factor that can easily be remedied. This type of  negative presentation discourages people from using birth control at all, thus causing more unplanned pregnancies and more abortions. By contrast, an emphasis on the proper use of each method to maximize its effectiveness will encourage people who might otherwise have had unprotected sex to use a contraceptive. 

This letter was longer than I intended it to be, but I hope you will take my suggestions into consideration. I believe that the "ounce of prevention = pound of cure" adage is quite apt in this situation, and that through preventative education we can help solve the problem of America's unacceptably high abortion rates.

We don�t disagree that making abortion illegal will stop all abortions.  Making them legal, however, it akin to a government �endorsement.�  In fact, the government is schizophrenic about health concepts in general.  For example, cocaine is illegal, yet tobacco products are �legal.�  This, in spite of the fact that more than 400,000 Americans lose their lives each year due to tobacco-related problems (far more than with cocaine).    There is also a dichotomy that exists within Planned Parenthood.  Yes, they provide contraception products�but they are also the largest abortion provider in the country�reaping millions and millions of dollars in revenues from the killing of the unborn.  Believing that Planned Parenthood sincerely wants to reduce abortions is like believing that McDonalds sincerely wants to reduce beef consumption.  Further, Planned Parenthood won�t support an unplanned pregnancy�they simply take money to �kill� the unborn baby.  Crisis pregnancy centers, on the other hand, support crisis pregnancies both financially and emotionally.

  G'day Maggie M,

    So you think Planned, err, sorry, Klanned Parenthood http://www.klannedparenthood.com/Planned_Parenthood_Ku_Klux_Klan_KKK_Nazis/ 

is the answer to reducing pregnancies?

    Yes, they butcher children, thereby reducing pregnancies. Their so-called sex education in schools is an investment leading to 'abortions' due to increased sexual activity and failed contraception. Of course, from their indoctrination, the children know where to go to have their children killed - Klanned Parenthood of course.

    Here's the way to reduce 'abortions', if you are telling the truth when you say you want to lower the mill-kill.

  *  Thou shalt not commit adultery, (the 7th commandment - not the 7th suggestion)

                                                                                                                           Ex 20:14

Adultery is any married person having sex outside marriage. If an unmarried person has sex with a married person, they both have committed adultery.

  *  Flee fornication, unmarried people having sex. 1 Cor 6:18

Those are the rules, they're not my rules. Either we will be accountable to the Law-giver, or we'll just have to have faith in the ridiculous evolution-theory which has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. For starters, evolution teaches that dinosaurs 'evolved' into birds: http://www.creationontheweb.com/ Check it out for yourself.

Hi Maggie, 

I wholeheartedly agree with your view that the best way to reduce abortion is to increase access to and understanding of contraception. I would add to that that increasing support for mothers in need, including reducing the Judeao-Christain discrimination against unmarried mothers. Ironicly these people with their puritanical views against abortion may increase the rate of abortions by promoting "abstinance only" and stigmatising sinful "fornicators". 

Also don't let them fool you with their convoluted selective truths about genocide and abortion. They may be interested to know that the current Neo Nazi movement (often calling itself "national socialism") opposes abortion (albeit with some unpalatable exceptons) in point 20 of their "25 Points of American National Socialism" I quote: "20. The state must ensure that the nation's health standards are raised by protecting mothers, infants, and the unborn: By prohibiting abortion and euthanasia...". For a graphic example see : http://www.nsm88.com/aryanattack/aryanattack20041128.html 

Saying that Nazis are prolifes does not mean that all pro-life's are Nazis, a logical thought pattern that does not occour to these nuts. And the Nazi movement was so widespread that you can link anything to it if you try hard enough. You are probably waisting your time being rational with them.

I have always been pro-life. My first pregnancy was when i was 18. I wasnt sure if the guy would be happy or not but never once did I think about abortion. I knew what I was doing when I was having sex and what could come out of it. Luckily I told him right away. he said what do you think i was trying to do lol. now we are married with 3 sons. it is so wonderful. i look into their precious eyes taht are completely dependant on me and i couldnt ever imagine hurting them or lettingsome money hungary dr. hurt my child. i knew they were bad and unnatural but never did i imagine they were this bad. I would like to help get this message out there. this is not okay. it is murder. they are tearing humans apart to end a preganncy. they are killing and we are allowing. what is going on? I got a pregnancy test done at planned parenthood with my first. they wouldnt let my boyfriend come back with me. they wante dto talk to me alone and offer me abortion literature. i was like hey i came for a free test. i left. i never thought they were bad until the next time. i thought maybe just that person wa stupid. that was in michigan. when my 1st son was 1 i went to another planne dpaerenthood in washington state where we were living because i was feeling kinda queezy for a couple weeks. they told me no. i wasnt. didint show me anything. aske dme to amke an appointment for my annual pap. i did. it was in a week. i couldnt kick the thought that i felt like i was pregnant. so i bought teh most expensive home test and too kit teh next day. it wa spositive. i wa slike oh hell nah they told me no. theres no way it didnt show up yetserday and came right away today. i always thought maybe tehy were going to mak eme have  amiscarriage if i went back because tehy thought i was too young for a second child. after seeing teh process they wouldnt have been able to do it without me knowing, but it was too wierd and i do not support them .  They are for abortions and they want that money. thsi is crazy that people would see what you are showing and still consider having this doen to their own child. I would lov eto help you educate peopel. i cryed after watching that and hugge dmy kids. they were looking at me all crazy. keep it up.

G'day Rachel V. 

Thanks for your letter. The most effective thing you can do to stem the flow of blood is by putting an AbortionTV sticker on your car:  

                              http://www.abortiontv.com/Misc/HowToContribute.htm

Let everyone discover the truth of this travesty, just as you and I have. There are a lot of twisted and sick people in this world who think massacring children is acceptable. They even have the audacity to complain about being rightly described as 'scum'. These creatures try to appear as angels of light, saying they want to reduce the abortion toll - yeah right. They want nothing of the sort.  

What they really want is to try and make the kid-killing more 'presentable' because they are concerned about their little house of cards toppling over. 

I'm pro-choice. I'm into freedom, but not anarchy. I'm anti-drinkdriving, anti-rape, anti-sodomy, anti-paedophilia, etc - and 'cause I'm anti-murdering little boys and girls, I'm anti-abortion.

                                                                                                                            Peter Erbacher

Dear Rachel V, 

First, there are false positive tests as well as false negative pregnancy tests. Why would Planned Parenthood want you to have a miscarriage? Using the warped logic that is sometimes shown on this site, Planned Parenthood would make no money on your miscarriage. So please explain what the point would be? 

I would also like to point out, as I have before, that Planned Parenthood does not make most of their money from abortions. They provide free health screenings, HIV tests, and free or low cost birth control. Is every Planned Parenthood the same? No...is every CPC the same? No. I have been to PP several times...and no one is giving me litertaure on abortions. 

Also, you may want to talk to people before making assumptions about them or their organizations. If you expect the world to change then you must open your mind to change as well. If you don't it only makes you the hypocrite. Being a hypocrite makes it hard for those you are trying to change to believe you. It only pushes them further away.

I had a miscarriage...my son was born at 13 weeks but his heart stopped at 8.5 weeks....I made a prolife montage, your welcome to post it on your site...it has picture of my son....who is very obviously not a blob of tissue!  http://www.onetruemedia.com/otm_site/view_shared?p=7209fc8931f519571d55e&source=category&category_id=26

Anon

G'day Anon, 

That was a very powerful video on Caleb Xavier. My two year-old girl, Natalie, was sitting on my lap as I watched it. When she saw Caleb, she pointed and said, "I like that Daddy, that's a baby." 

All of you mongeral pro-aborts tell me, "How could I possibly explain to my children that we live in a 'society' that demands the ripping to pieces, hacking to death, etc, of little, innocent and defenceless boys and girls?" Damn all of you !

                                                                                                                           Peter Erbacher

Dear Anon, 

  Your video was lovely and I am sorry for your loss. I hope that you believe in educating our children and women about their options before they become pregnant to prevent having to even think about an abortion. 

  Emergency contraception is still being confused with the abortion pill by so many. This is a safe option to the aftermath of rape, unsafe sex, or a condom breaking. There is no ripping, no tearing, no adjectives to use for a procedure. And allow me to say if you are pregnant it does not effect the pregnancy. 

3/11/07

Your website is a great example of how facts, figures and statistics can be used to manipulate an argument. You give many figures on how many abortions are performed (1.31 million in 2000), and talk about what nasty after effects (sterilization, infection, sexual assault etc.) but I did notice that you don't seem to have statistics on these after effects. Per 1000 abortions, how many have serious complications? How many are sexually abused whilst undergoing an abortion? Of course, any doctor who performs an abortion must be some sort of sexual predator. It's obvious, isn't it? Or is it more likely that it happens, just the same as it happens with any surgery. I'm willing to bet that you're more likely to be sexually assaulted by your dentist and you're just as likely to have complications arising from ANY surgery that relates to the reproductive system.

Now, back to those figures. Lets say your argument wins. Abortions stop tomorrow. That would be great! There's 200,000 thousand couples out there looking to adopt! We'd solve the adoption problem in no time at all. But wait... Weren't there 1.31 million pregnancies terminated in 2000? Wow. That's a lot. I hope those families wanting to adopt look into adopting by the dozen, or you're going to end up with a lot kids left over. Who will look after all those kids? You? Well, if you pay tax, eventually you will.

The fact is that the world is an ugly place. Abortion isn't pretty. Niether is hip replacement or cancer therapy. It is unfortunate, but it is necesarry. Babies don't die with hip replacemet or cancer therapy you say? 1.31 million babies aren't born into a nation that can't support the ones that are already there with hip replacement or cancer therapy either.

I'm also willing to bet that even if abbortion was made illegal, it wouldn't stop happening. There would just be many many more instances of sterilization, infection, sexual assault and all those other nasty things that happen with abortion. It's easy to say that you would still raise a child if you lived in poverty, when you have never lived in poverty.

I'll look forward to seeing this published on your website. But wait!? One more way of playing with the facts, you don't seem to publish well thought out arguments against abortion, do you? Of course you don't, that would never do! You had eight stories of why abortion is a bad thing, all well written and well thought out. Two about why it isn't a bad thing, and one of those was from an idiot. The other by a woman who made a choice, and all you could do was abuse her.

Maybe you do publish all your letters. Maybe the people who are pro choice just can't be bothered arguing this to you all. There isn't much use. Short of living below the poverty line and trying to raise children, there really isn't much that will convince you. As for me, it's Sunday morning and I'm bored. It took about 5 minutes for me to figure out that your statistics just don't make sense. 

And if you do actually publish this... To all those people out there who think I'm advocating murder, go adopt six children. Because according to the statistics on this website, there's 200,000 couples looking to adopt, but 1.31million abortions per year, give or take. That means every couple looking to adopt will have to adopt 6 children EACH YEAR to cover all these unwanted pregnancies going full term. Who will adopt the rest after that? Oh, and while you're paying for these extra children you're adopting, start paying a LOT more tax too. There's going to be a hell of a lot more child support payments getting handed out.

I have seven children. One is biological.  The remaining six are adopted and/or foster children from the "system."  Most of my children are African-American and biracial.  Each one comes from poverty-stricken background, and one has special needs. One of my daughter's was a "rape baby."  Another was age nine when adopted.  Still another, a teenager.  One of my son's was born prematurely and is developmentally delayed.  Two were born from a mentally-challenged parent. 

We live on one-income.  All my kids' are well-clothed, fed, and well-educated.  It just so happens their OshKosh, Carter's, Mudd, and other name brands come from Goodwill, Salvation Army, or yard sales, but no one has yet to ask where they buy their clothes.  We do three "meatless" nights a week to save on groceries.  I line-dry my clothes in the summer and buy discount on just about everything.  We go camping at KOA instead of cruises.  We don't eat out much, but have a lot of picnics, go to parks, and travel a lot to state parks and monuments in the summers.  My kids are usually complimented on their manners, behavior, and how well they get along.  I'm a strict mom.  There's not too much television in my house, but always books, books, books.  Those come from the library.  When my husband and I have date, we go to Seattle's Best for a cup of tea or a latte.  Christmas can be tight, but it's not about gifts, is it?

I grew up on the "low-end."  We weren't poor, but not rich. Dad was a garbage man.  If we were poor, I didn't know.  It never mattered to me my bike came from a dumpster.  Dad took the time, and love, to paint and fix it up.  I don't remember anything I got for Christmas, except a shoebox full of doll clothes my grandmother made from scrap material.  I remember family get-togethers with homemade ice cream and my aunt's homegrown green beans.  Not once have I blamed my parents for not furnishing me with a bigger house, my own car, designer clothes, or a college education.  I should tell you, I was an unwanted "shotgun" baby, too. 

I've met the six kids demand.  I'll be happy to take three or four more. I can promise they will be loved.  Sign me up, too!

   G'day Roman,

    You think you're pretty clever, don't you? In a nut-shell, anyone who tries to justify ripping a little boy or girl to pieces deserves the same fate. Failing that, you'll just have to settle for a lake of fire.

Here's some info on scum like you:              http://www.childpredators.com/

Hey Roman

   I just wanted to ask you a simple question since you seem to be soo knowledgeable and us pro lifers are nothing but a couple of blabbering idiots to you

           First off how did this country get by without legal abortions before the year 1973 ?

          Wait  a minute I'll answer this one for you

People lived with morals the majority of them did not engage in sex before marriage and married couples either used birth control or lived with and loved the children that god gave to them

  Today a lot of people are immoral  and they think well we can do what feels good now and deal with the consequences later.  I imagine that if abortion were illegal people would start acting a lot more responsibly because they would not be able to get the quick fix for their little "problem" that is available to them today.  But maybe I'am wrong and  you can prove it, since your soo good with "figuring" out staticts why don't you work this one out for me, "How many abortions are preformed on people who used no contraception whatsoever each year?" Because I think the number of people who were just careless and became pregnant and latter sought abortions would be staggering. And that's my point maybe these pregnancies would have NEVER  HAPPENED in the first place if there wasn't a quick fix and THUS there would not be such a large number of "unwanted children" - there is no such thing in my book by the way

                                          one more thing Roman to cut down on  your numbers but 1/3 of all pregnancies end in misscarriage/still birth so some of those abortions would have terminated on their own but where never given the chance

      Brianna and Rachel's mommy

 PS As for those six kids you want me to adopt where do I sign up ?    

Dear Roman, 

  I read your letter and I don't agree with all your points but I do think you provided your opinion in a clear and concise manner. You did not belittle the staff nor the responders. You actually called someone who is a pro-choice advocate an idiot. But yet, the responders had to put your down and call you names. Such as scum 

  You are correct...a child predator can be anyone of any profession.

Restrictions on abortions I don't believe are watched as strictly as say a bar and the drinking age. Undercover officers are not sending decoys into Planned Parenthood to "bust" workers not checking ids.

Instead we have pro-lifers doing this and as you stated..much like the stats on this site. They can be skewed. Might I add...if you provided stats from a pro-choice site, others would call them skewed as well. 

  Posting pictures of aborted fetuses and using graphic adjectives is a tactic. I believe emergency contraception scares them to death. If women become educated and can access this after having unprotected sex, the condom breaking, or being raped it could greatly reduce the number of pictures "ripping a little boy or girl to pieces". Education is still not what it should be...it has been less than 10 years since my brother graduated high school, there were no sex ed classes in a public suburban high school. And why would Planned Parenthood provide birth control and EC at a low price (based on financial need) if they were on a hunt to get woman pregnant so they would have pricey abortions? Why provide an exam free of charge for those without insurance? 

  Yes, the world has changed. In the 60's women had sex...many got pregnant. Many were sent away, many were forced into marriage, a marriage might have been loveless. Sex was happening but due to the wonderful media we know more about it now than we did then. It was also a time when gays and lesbians hid their sexuality. People also did not attend college as much as they do now, which makes the marriage age higher. My mother had one child and another by the age of 31, the age I will be this year. I am about as far away from marriage as someone can be. I may never get married and in a society that has a 51% divorce rate I don't see the rush. And I read the divorce notices in the paper...those moral people from before 1973 are getting divorced just as often as those after 1973. 

  I doubt we will ever see illegal abortions again, the people of South Dakota, showed us as conservative as they might be, they weren't ready to outlaw abortion. 

  I read an article in Time (which I believe was refered to an american rag in another post). They presented both sides, then they focused on a town working together. Funny...what a keen idea. Hmm..maybe instead of belittling each other we could work together to prevent abortions. If anyone on either side balks at working together to reduce abortions they are exactly what the media portrays them as...extrimists and heartless bastards. 

  If each side believes in reducing abortion, which I believe is what ALL of America wants we could achive that task together. Wouldn't that be great? 

3/13/07

At 21, I had an abortion that nearly killed me.  Five days after the procedure, I began to bleed so heavily, I thought I was going to die.  The pain and cramping can only be compared to actual labor.  I phoned the clinic that had performed the abortion over five times in a 12 hour period and was told, specifically, not to go to the hospital.  I was told to put an ice pack on my abdomen and elevate my feet!  I sat on a toilet for hours, passing blood and tissue.  I was made to feel like it was my fault I was having problems, and was finally yelled at for calling so many times!  I am 44 years old now and still can't believe that people that claim to care about your health are actually just money hungry mongrels who care so little about the health of women that they are willing to let them suffer and possibly die! 

PD

Dear PD,

I read of your experience with utter disgust. 

It is no wonder Jesus said, "The love of money is the root of all evil."  

I would suggest that you write about your experience, as it is a healing balm for your mind and it may be a tool God uses to reach others.  

The Culture Of Death re-defines life, makes a god of human reason--is driven, not by compassion and human kindness--but by a god-status and murder for profit.  I have heard many angry women say, of God's gift in the womb, "Its not a child till I say its a child."  The word "fetus" a dehumanizing term, is tossed about like the de-humanizing words that the Nazis used--to dehumanize Jews.  Many individuals, banks, businesses and nations profited off confiscated wealth and slave labor. As it was back in Nazi Germany, so it is today--blood money. All involved reeks of it.

If you get a chance to read some of the accounts of the war-criminal trials (after Nazi Germany fell) much the same arguments about the definition of life that the Nazis used, there and then, are still used, here and now. Only the Creator God has a right to define life! 

Make no mistake, the Culture Of Death are Terrorists, evil--and murder for profit.  All they care about is their god--their belly--and its immediate gratification. 

May God have mercy on their souls . . . may God never allow them to live in the same world they inflict on the innocent . . . .

My name is Brandi. After doing research for research paper, I found out extreme amounts of information (mostly from your web site) I never knew. I thought I was educated in many different subjects, however, abortion I now realize how little truth I really knew ! I want to be an activist to protest against abortion or help in other ways possible. I have absolutely no idea of where to go to volunteer my time to help educate women, men, & teens on abortion. Can you suggest organizations or places that I may be useful to? I truly am passionate about helping spread the truth of abortion ! Thank you very much. I live in Santa Cruz County, CA . I hope this will help in locating a volunteer position for me.                        Sincerely, Brandi Lopez 

Brandi, thanks for your interest in helping the cause.  Seek out Crisis Pregnancy Centers in your area.  You can find them under �abortion alternatives� in your yellow pages.  These organizations help women with crisis pregnancies, including providing medical care and supplies, helping with adoption alternatives, etc.  You may also want to present the truth in speeches to churches and local organizations in your area.  Remember, you will meet great resistance!  Those who do not want to hear the truth get angry as a defense.  Best of luck, and please keep in touch. 

AbortionTV

   G'day Brandi,

    Great to hear from you. Put an AbortionTV sticker on your car, you can get one here:

                    http://www.abortiontv.com/Misc/HowToContribute.htm 

This is one of the best ways to expose this wretched mass-murder. Talk to people. Don't ask them what they think about abortion - Ask them what they know about abortion and let them talk. They'll discover how ignorant they are on this horrific slaughter. Then describe to them a partial-birth 'abortion' and also get their phone number, give them yours too.  

3/5/07

You people are absolutely rediculous with the lies you post on your website!  Women aren't idiots - we know what an abortion is  and we know best when they are necessary.  Embryos and fetuses should never take precedance over a living, breathing human being; they are but parasites in a woman's body and deserve no rights separate of the woman who is infected with it.

L. bennett

Dear L. Bennett: 

A fetus is not a parsite.  The argument that a "free, autonomous person should not be forced to play host to a parasite" is yet another pro-abortion fallacy designed to draw attention from the real issue, which is the unborn are indeed sentient human beings.  Your objection merely illustrates the immense selfishness and distorted view of rights vs. responsibilities that permeates post-modern society.  Labeling a fetus "parasite" merely dehumanizes him in precisely the manner Nazi Germany did with the Jews during the Holocaust.  No one in society lives completely independent of others.  Did you not rely on your parents to feed, clothe, house, and teach you to live as a child?  Similarly, your existence could be labeled "parasitically" dependent upon your parents from infancy to early adolescence.  To some degree, I could label your existence "parasitical" because you depend on others to bring you food, heat, housing, and clothing, regardless of whether you pay for it or not.  Unless you are producing any of these on your own, you are completely dependent on others in society to help supply these demands.  Example, the truckers who bring your fresh vegetable and meat across country to your grocery.  Or, the children in third world countries kept from school to make your name brand jeans or shoes.  Do we get to kill you because you dependent on Ernie the Trucker to bring your strawberries from California?  I think not! 

Further, the conception of a child usually results from the free choice of the parent.  It could be argued, reasonably, by engaging in the sex act, both male and female implicitly consent to the risk of pregnancy.  So, how then, does it become the child's fault he or she was conceived due to its parents choices?  Why should a child pay with his or her life for your actions?  Basically, abortion is usually 95% a matter of birth control.  Nothing more.  Nothing less.   

Women are not idiots. However, the abortion industry treats us as such.  I have never been so badly treated as I was by the doctor who performed my second trimester abortion and the staff at Planned Parenthood.  There are many who don't know what abortion entails.  Other's are pressured, coerced, or forced into abortion.   

Spare me the "lies" tirade.  Please outline any information, except personal opinion, you feel is fallacious and contact me via my e-mail.  I will make it my business to research it personally, cite the source, and will post a refutation and/or apology to you to the same.

G'day L. bennett,

Give your head a smack. Like most pro-aborts, you're stuck on stupid.

Dear L. Bennett,

Of all the Culture Of Death arguments, L.B., yours is most horrid. 

When people place themselves above God, His gift of life--lives in and out of the womb, are dehumanized. No human has the right to define life, and pass judgment on what is or what is not, life! 

Though biology, law, and many other factors needs unpacked, most important to the Abortion issue, is the matter of the heart. 

I guess when one holds a postmodern perspective, (which sees no standard of right and wrong), adds the Darwinist-Nazi false science of determining lives worthy or not, and crams a little man-made religion into the mix, one could come to your conclusions. God, the Creator has sole right to define life, not people like you!   

L.B., may you never live in the world that you want created, because someone with more physical power, or authority, may deem you a life unworthy of life.  Evil ideas are the breeding ground for unintended social rot.  Ideas do, indeed, have consequences!  Fools do not consider the consequences of their actions.  

I would strongly suggest that you fall to your knees and cry out to the living God, as it is the only cure for the calloused heart your writing reveals.  Moreover, I would strongly suggest that persons reading your implications, prays that the Spirit of the living God penetrates your heart, while you are still alive, and can still be redeemed. 

You and other Terrorists types needs help, only God can help!  Though your mind may be beyond reason, while you still live, your heart is not beyond God's saving grace. 

First, the heart, next, the mind, that is the order of God. Read, re-read and read again the Romans's account, in the New Testament--while doing so, pray that God's Spirit deals with you, and others like you--it is your only hope. 

In the end, you and yours (of the Culture of Death) are losers, for the last enemy to be destroyed, will be death (1 Corinthians 15:26).  You and yours are one the wrong side of history, here and now, and are one the wrong side of eternal history, there and then. 

Roger

Dear L Bennet, 

I am someone who believe in choice. I believe that the two sides can work together but it is letters such as yours and those like it from BOTH sides that really erk me. Present your side with class and conviction, not thoughtlessess and trash. 

I am not even sure why anyone responds to you. To be honest...the long letters or standoff comments from others only feed the ego of the person that wrote this letter. Drama...why feed into it?

I appreciate your efforts.  I can't bear to watch videos or view the pictures myself.  I cry just thinking about what's happening.  I have 3 children and it breaks my heart to think of these poor babies.  I know these women and young girls having abortions have no idea EXACTLY what they are doing...they believe the lie that it's not a baby and it's THEIR body and THEIR choice.  The doctors and nurses aren't human to me...I don't know how anyone can literally tear apart a little baby and flush them away.  God help them.

Jim H.

Dear Jim H. 

I hope that many concerned with the human factor in the abortion question, pays attention to your observations. 

Pro-aborts and Humanity or lack thereof--lets enlarge upon this--shall we . . . 

The spirit of our nation's Declaration of Independence has as much to do with the human element, in society, as it has to do with the God element, insofar as He is Creator and the giver of rights--unpack this, God and God alone, as Creator, has the sole right to define what life is, or is not. 

In God's Word, He states that is possible to go beyond human feeling . . . people like me in the mind-science field, have fancy names for this--and labels for the attached sickness--but the Scripture goes to the heart of the matter, without the human fog of pathologizing or the poverty of a mere human "label." Read the passage that I cite, and its link to the almighty dollar. 

Dirty sub-human Jews and Indians yes--but their dirty wealth, no!  . . . follow the money trail.

When one studies the transcripts of the Nurmburgh Trials (a war-crimes tribunal--post Nazi Germany) one gets a chilling glimpse of the nature of human nature, and the "past feelings Ephesians 4:19" level of some, to de or subhumnize humans.  In our nation's history, the American Indian, above all subordinate cultures, were officially deemed sub-or non human, and that categorization was justification to turn an estimated 15 or so million, to a few hundred thousand, (1492-1890), the last government program of Indian mass slaughter, being 1890, the very year Hitler was born, according to some scholars. 

With a little legal slight of hand, a decision (1973) in the land of the free, took the abortion question out of debate, at the state level, and made unelected officials the sole arbiters of what constitutes a "human."  The supreme court is not on equal basis with the Supreme Creator, and according to God's Word, and our Nation's Birth Certificate--God, not a few lawyers in black robes, is the Supreme Judge of the Universe.  Even with Roe--overturned, the issue reverts back each state--the debate rages on, all the while the culture of death--our domestic terrorists, are free to murder on a mass scale that the Nazis and White Supremacists of the 1500's never dreamed of. 

You see, Jim, when a man elevates himself to god-status, He, not God, is the measure of all things . . . .  Void of God, our rights morphs into play things of manipulation, and God's gift, becomes an impersonal blob--a fetus.  Fetus status is a Darwin term, that lowers humans to no more than matter in a chicken egg--and sees us as just evolutionary blobs.  In our US school systems--we have unjust interpretations of the separation of Church and State, and the combination of the Religion of Secular Humanism and State, to replace the God we kicked out of our school systems in 1963. Is it any wonder our nation's children mirror the violence done by adults to children in the womb?  We are becoming an increasingly violent society--is it any wonder--for the culture of death intersects with the culture of violence--for they are one and the same--they feed off one another--as a social cancer. 

Though mass murderers are human, they choose to function as an empty shell, for they are numb to the very nature that God placed in them, at birth.  One may label, pathologize--or call names--but all the above does not do justice to the level of evil that these types must stoop to, to meet out death to innocent gifts God has placed in the womb.  When I say mass murderers, I am referring to the stench on a bench (judicial) and medical types, that murder on a large scale, directly or indirectly. 

Demonic, Terrorists, Evil--they may be, but when the culture of death practices their satanic arts, mostly unchallenged, we all are as guilty as the churches in Nazi Germany that just sang a little louder, as train loads of Jews passed by.  We sing God Bless America, murder His gifts, re-define marriage, kick him out of public schools--and still want His blessings? 

It is my hopes that the problem of the human heart, our fallen nature and our hatred of God's image will be addressed--once done, abortion will be just another black mark in human history. 

Until then, Jim, we need to continue in this spiritual fight, for the culture of life, and not be intimidated into apathy or silence.   

May I suggest CHEAT!  Read the back of the BOOK!  GOD WINS!  In the mean time, here and now, every birth is proof that our Creator lives, and every baby loved, is an affirmation of the extension of God's love.  The last enemy to die, is death! 

2/23/07

I won't share my name. I am pushing 40, and was 23 when I aborted my twins. I'd chosen names and looked at clothes in stores for them, but my mother and some other people put a lot of pressure on me to kill them. That's what I called it, even then. I had no job and the babies' father was a stranger I'd slept with once. I knew his first name but not his number, last name, address or any of his friends. I didn't want to see him anyway. i assumed he wouldn't care about the twins. Now I'm not sure. I feel pretty sure he wouldn't want to see me. I was a pretty awful person at the time!

The deadline approached for my low-cost abortion. i argued that I wanted to keep them. I felt as if someone were with me -- my children. I didn't feel like I was going to be a mother. I was a mother. i could hardly wait to see their faces and hold them in my arms instead of my tummy. But I sat alone under pressure by the phone and finally, to please others, and in fear that the children would hurt me, kill me maybe, before birth, i picked that phone up and went through with it.

ater and how sentimentally grateful I was for it. I was burning up. I felt spaced out from drugs and probably from dehydration and anemia from the operation. The doctor stuck a tube in my body. I felt a slurking motion again and again and I felt death spread through me. I wanted to cry out to stop it, save the other one if we could, but I was dazed and everyone there wasa cting like this was the right thing. I had no solid values yet so I went with the crowd. I bled and bled hard for days...then weeks...I went to a GYN for a checkup. he grumped at me to "try a little harder" to relax and said I was fine as far as he could see.

I ended up three months later in the ER getting an IV of something to replace my blood and a quick treatment that stopped the bleeding. But everywhere I looked I saw babies. Even baby animals made me feel like someone was hurting or about to kill them and I had to save them. I fought my feelings fiercely.

When I got saved, my real feelings started to seem to make much more sense than the casual slogans about "choice" and "reproductive freedom" i'd been parroting. I wanted the twins. I miss them. I've repented and God has forgiven me, but I still want them to say I'm sorry to the babies. In heaven, I think I'll get my chance. I hope I will. I'm sorry, kids. I wanted you.

Anon

First -  I am so sorry.  I'm sorry you were in that position; I'm sorry your support wasn't there for you, and I'm sorry over the loss of your children.

You are right - God HAS forgiven you, and I believe you will have an opportunity to see your children.

I wonder if you've gone thru a post abortion counseling session?  Frequently, local women's centers will offer these.  Ours are taught only by women who have had abortions.  These sessions give you an opportunity to grieve for  your loss.  Because regardless of what people say - it IS a loss.  Our local centers get you to make a quilt square where the babys name goes.  This is then added with other quilt squares and eventually, a quilt is made.  It is a time where you are told you SHOULD grieve because you did suffer a loss.

What an amazing web site.  Words can't express how thankful I am knowing that this exists.  People need to be educated and they need to know the truth.  It breaks my heart (and hurts) so much to think of the horrible things that are done to unborn babies; it's just not fair or right.  Babies are undeniably blessings from GOD.  They are so perfect, so precious, and bring so much joy into the world.  

I have always been pro-life and now that I am the proud parent of a beautiful two month old son, I couldn't be more against abortion.  The ultra-sound pictures were just amazing!  And feeling my son move inside me was such a wonderful experience.  I loved being pregnant but even more I loved seeing my son for the first time and getting to kiss his soft cheeks before they took him to the nursery (I had to have a c-section).  And now, I can't kiss or hug him enough and I don't know what I would do without him.  

I will admit though, when I found out I was pregnant, I was a little scared and worried.  The pregnancy really wasn't "planned" but I wasn't taking any birth control either.  My husband and I had only been married for three/four months, and I was worried that certain people in our lives would judge us because we were so young and didn't have much money.  But thankfully my husband reminded me that by being pregnant that meant that GOD had decided to bless us and that HE was saying that HE trusted us to take care of this little life.   

I guess going through those feelings has helped me realize and be a little more understanding of what other girls (and guys) go through when they unexpectedly find out that their pregnant. And this site has helped me realize even more just how important (and helpful) it is to educate people on the real facts related to abortions, as well as the facts related to a growing unborn baby. 

So ... Thank You! Thank you for standing up and having the guts to "tell it how it is."  For showing the world the truth, no matter how ugly and awful it may be.  These precious little humans need the world to know and understand just how real and alive they actually are; that they do feel pain and what happens in all types of abortion procedures is just plain inhuman. I will defiantly share this site with others. 

Goodbye for now and GOD Bless always!!

Thank you, Crystal, for your letter and for being "pro-life."  I am, too, but wouldn't it be best if you were pro-choice and pro-life, as I declare myself to be. In order to learn what that means, do not go to any dictionary that may have entries to define pro-life and pro-choice and accept them.  In perfect examples of newspeak, one is pro-choice, if you want to deny choice to entire groups of people; fathers, grandparents and the very humans being aborted. 

To be Pro-life according to the pro-aborts, who must be editors of dictionaries, one is opposing the right of abortion.  To be for means to be against.  Life is a gift possessed by the living: the just conceived, the babies, youth, adults and senior citizens. To end the life of any in those classifications is wrong and should be protected in law.  With the onset of Abortion-on-demand, the value of all life is under a magnifying glass to determine if it's one "worth living. When an arbiter with unqualified power decides an individual's "quality of life" has been lost, that individual will soon lose all qualtity and life, too. Too many of us, Pro-lifers use the language created by the pro-aborts. I think it's time to take it back.

Since abortion is no right at all, how can I be against something that doesn't exist? And why should I be forced to by using their language accept it.

Therefore, I am Pro-life-choice, since life is greater than choice, i.e., life must be had to be able to choose. 

death<LIFE>choice, i.e., death is not a choice. 

Peace,

Matthew Karl

 G'day Crystal,

    Thank for your email. It's always great to see light shining through the darkness. I'm in Cairns, Australia. A friend down in Brisbane had organised a sit-in / rescue at an 'abortion' mill yesterday.

    Although he has been kicked and punched during rescues, etc, he remains silent and doesn't retaliate. Graham has done time in jail, including maximum security because he refuses to sign a declaration stating he will stay away from the mills. Last time he was sentenced to six months. 

    Today is my birthday, I was born in '73, the year 'abortion' was legalised. Last night family was coming over to celebrate it. I finished work late and when I got home I rang people to find out what had happened in Brisbane. I rang Liz, his wife. She confirmed he had been locked up but still hadn't heard from him all day. She was busy getting dinner ready for their seven children.

    Minutes after the phone call, people started arriving. I took the opportunity to explain my attitude to them. 34 years ago I was born - and 'abortion' was legalised. 1/3 of my generation and following generations have been murdered under the umbrella of 'abortion'. A man makes a silent protest against this holocaust outside a death-house and as a result, is going back to jail.  - WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON ?????

    Anyway Crystal, It was good to read your letter. This is for you:

Graham is on the right with me, outside one of the many 'abortion' mills in Brisbane.

Dear Crystal

15 Feb. O7 

It is refreshing to hear of one that affirms the life God gave.  

I recently read an article in a well known American rag (magazine) that actually called persons that affirms life, and teaches about life, "guerrilla-tactics."  The rag cast the opposition as offering a choice. The gift of God, is life, and is not ever to be thought of as a "choice." 

If the 1973 decision is over-turned, the matter goes back to the states, and depending on the state, abortion would be dealt with on that level. This is more a matter of heart than law--always has been--always will be. The article continues to lament the fact that ill informed persons are threatening a woman's choice, by threatening abortion. 

The culture of life has no truth, and has not the Spirit of the living God in their mission--murder. Your E-letter bristles with the sweet Spirit of the living God, and His gift to you, affirms His blessings. 

I will echo the sound life's logic, the spirit of this site, and the Spirit of the living God, to affirm and support life.

I encourage you, Crystal, to keep a written Journal--and attend a Bible believing body of believers, for support. 

Thank-you, again, for the encouragement,

Hello and Thank you! 

I couldn't sleep tonight. I never thought I'd think about it again after all these years, but every time I closed my eyes, it just kept haunting me. I got up to surf the net and found your site. I've never watched "Abortion TV", never even heard of it. But it is a Godsend. 

It was 1979. I had a steady boyfriend, but we hadn't had sex. I was only 16 and had been raped. I didn't even know I was pregnant until I was 4 months along. I was scared out of my mind and didn't know who to tell or what to do. My mother, whom I told first, contacted a friend of hers, who told her to give me gallons of Epsom salt water to drink. It caused vomiting and horrible cramping for several days but other than that, I "healed" and was fine. 

I then realized (fully) what they were trying to do and I left home to go live with a friend. I hid the pregnancy as long as I could, thinking that if no one found out until I was further along, it would be "too late". At about 7 months, my friend's mother  realized it and confronted me.  She scolded me and took control of the whole situation. She threatened also to expose this to my boyfriend and his family. I had no support at all and was never told of any "options". 

In California.... First, they drove me to a "regular" abortion clinic and was told to lie about how far along I was. The doctor knew I was lying but still wanted to "help" me. But when "everything was ready", as I laid on the table, they weren't able to do it. I was nearly 7 months along and they weren't "set up" for that. I just knew that I would be on the streets if I chose to have the baby. I was completely alone, so young, without any support or information and no options were given. Things were different back then. Even (us) kids were different and more naive. 

I was given some sedatives and then... They directed my friend's mother to secretly take me to a general hospital and to "GO TO THE BACK DOOR, THE MAINTENANCE ENTRY". I remember so clearly the place- It was a nice, big hospital. But we drove around to the very back where there were no patients.  

It was like a culdesac/enclosed alley way. She knocked on the locked door and immediately a woman opened it and took me in, alone, telling the lady who brought me to "come back in 4 hrs.". 

I was then taken to a UTILITY ROOM, where there brooms, mops, patient laundry... and 2 small cots hidden by hanging sheets in the corner. I was told to put on a gown. That's all. No one explained anything or even asked if I wanted the abortion or explained, exactly, what it was, how they were doing it and what the ALTERNATIVES were. (And God knows I needed one!) 

Next, the lady came in and inserted what she called "seaweed sticks", many of them, inside me. It was horribly painful and I felt the baby moving. She said, "I'll check on you in awhile to see how you're doing, but whatever you do-Don't get up or come out of the room." After what seemed like forever, she came back to peek behind the curtain and ask how I was doing. How was I supposed to be doing? I hurt and was more frightened and confused than I'd ever been. 

She brought another young lady into the other make-shift bed behind the curtain and I heard her give the same instructions to her. I may sound quite stupid, but that's when "it" finally ALL hit me at once. And when it did, I'd changed my mind. 

I got up and pulled the curtain back to see a 20-something y/o woman lying there and I asked her a few questions. She apparently was not open to them and went to get the nurse, who promptly and sternly told me to get back on the cot and shut up. I then told her, "I don't want this!" and objected that the procedure had not been explained to me beforehand. I told her "I want to stop NOW!". But she told me that was not an option and, after my hysterical rapid-fire questions, she explained in no uncertain terms that since (I) "have chosen to abort the fetus"... the process was already started and coudn't be stopped. She then gave me a sedative, left the room and LOCKED the utility room door. 

I layed there crying for a long time and then two other women came in and said, "It's time". One stood in the hallway as a "look out", while the other gave me something that put me to sleep. (None of this was explained before or even while they were doing it either.) The next thing I knew, I woke up in that same utility room... in excruciating pain, puking my guts out, bleeding heavily and was no longer pregnant. 

I heard a knock on the back door, where I'd come in. It was my friend's mother to pick me up. The un-named lady who'd been "helping" me led me to the door, unlocked it and exchanged me for some cash. 

All the way home, I vomited repeatedly and as I was doing so; was told over and over to "never, ever talk about this to anyone"... I didn't! Who would? 

Two years later, I was married and at 18, had my "first child". It was a difficult labor and he was born with disabilities. Still-he was beautiful.   As I held him in my arms, that memory came back to me so strongly. During that first year of his life, I had to struggle within myself and make peace with God. It was quite difficult, but finally did get my peace. I had 2 more children during my marriage. With 3 little ones, all under age 7 and one of them disabled... My husband abandoned us without support. Two months after that, I found out I was pregnant with our 4th. 

The first thought was that abortion was definitely not an option. I struggled with the idea of adoption and, after many months of prayer and consulting with a local Christian adoption agency, I chose that. 

I was able to "choose" the adoptive parents and they agreed to keep in contact on a regular basis with letters and photos. He recently turned 18 and I have NEVER regreted that decision. He is a gorgeous boy and very intelligent. Certainly, I regreted that I had no one in my life to support me through those times. Not my parents, their father, parents-in-law... But I never regreted my decision not to abort. I did/and still do resent that no one gave me an option to abortion as a young and frightened girl. 

Many years have gone by since I used to lie awake at night and wonder, "Was it a boy or a girl?". I had a ""gut feeling" that it was a boy. I wondered what color his eyes were, what his personality would've been like etc. He/she would've been 28 yrs. old now and I haven't given much thought to that day for about 18 of those yrs. until tonight when I couldn't sleep. 

Recently, my daughter (now 23) had been having problems with endometriosis and went to see an OB/GYN. He ordered some tests and scheduled her for a laparoscopy and a D&C. After it was done, she immediately she developed very serious complications and nearly died. Long story short-One of the tests that the GYN did before the surgery was a pregnancy test. It was positive. He was then off work for 3 days. But the on-call Dr. did notify him on his cell phone about the pregnancy.  She was at least 3 1/2 months pregnant when he took her in to do the surgery. For reasons still unknown to us, he still did the D&C (abortion) and he tried his best to cover up the abortion until he no longer could. The Dr. that was treating her in the hospital made him come up to her room at midnight and tell her why she'd almost died and why he'd been denying her medical help. (To hide the his mistake) But he resented having to do it and minimized it greatly saying it was "nothing more than a blob of cells that might as well have been, and in fact could have been A POTATO!". And further, that "A large percent of embryos spontaneously abort before the 4th month and no one even notices it". 

I sat with her during those days, and the 4th day after the procedure, the little fetus came out! It was missing a leg, but other than that, it was completely in tact and recognizable as a little baby fetus. 

I'm so glad that I found your website right away. Some of the photos were too disturbing for me personally because I found myself sitting there wondering if any of those (older ones) could've actually been MY BABY that someone pulled out of the dumpster! 

Also, I just keep repeating to myself, "Oh God, Oh God! What have we DONE?!"

and "WHYYYYY????".

Bonnie, very powerful testimony.  Thank you for sharing this with us.

Dear Bonnie, 

Your story gave me chills.  Honestly, I thought that I was alone in my situation which is very similar to yours. 

Honey, you sound like you have such a heart of gold, even in light of the situations you and your daughter have been through.  Have you ever thought about becoming a volunteer for AbortionTV.com?  We need more women like you.

Dear Bonnie, 

When reading your story, I could not help but think of the accounts, in which Christ is touched--and feels our pain.  What is more, Bonnie, when we ask God for mercy, we may beg, we may think we do not deserve it, and we may think many things, concerning our unworthiness of the mercy of God--but these are just a few human thoughts. In a very real and personal way, your story of pain and sorrow, intersects with His pain and sorrow--and His out-come is always 100% joy!

What was done to you, is a horrible assault--by the culture of death whores, that terrorize both mothers and babies for money. In the daylight, they talk of rights, in the darkness, they deliver death. The stench of death drips from their hands, and their money!  If they do not ask God's forgiveness, God will, one day, remove this social cancer. "It is appointed (or fixed) for all to die, and after this, judgment" the Word says.  Though a subject of ridicule, here and now, it will not be, there and then, when the enemies of the unborn, face the Creator! 

I would suggest (if you have not already done so) to go and seek out a Bible teaching Church, with loving people that can affirm what God has already done--forgiven you--since you have asked! 

It is not a matter of our Faith--it is more a matter of the Faith of God, and the gift of Faith he has placed in us. Faith is trust, and the Creator God, is trustworthy!  God, unlike humans, keeps His Word! 

If you have asked, God has forgiven you, and you will see your baby, that is now safe in the Creator's care.

I stumbled on your site tonight while looking for statistics because I am writing a college scholarship essay. The topic happens to be what class would I make mandatory in highschool. I chose sex education to help decrease unplanned teen pregnancies that often end in abortion. I would just like to share my story. 

I was 17 when I became pregnant with my son. I was living with my then boyfriend, now husband, at his grandparents home. Neither of us had jobs, we had dropped out of high school, he was on probation, and here we were going to have a baby. 

Once we found out and shared the news the word abortion was shoved at us like it was our only option. We of course did not agree. We buckled down, got jobs, rented a house, and began to prepare for the birth of our child. 

Unfortunately because of an inverted uterus I had difficulties through my entire pregnancy. Relying on a drug called Brethine to keep me from going into premature labor from my third month on. I took four to eight pills a day. At 27 1/2 weeks my water broke and I was flown two and half hours away by helicopter, kept in the hospital for 1 1/2 weeks under heavy sedation, before I developed an infection and had to give birth. 

My son was a large healthy premie. Twice the size of the usual babies born at this term in the pregnancy. He was painfully thin at 4.6 lbs. and 18 1/2 inches, his skin almost see through, and he did not know how to suck. He grew quickly, breathed on his own and was able to come home three weeks later. 

What kills me is that my son, who fought for his life, the child I could have easily lost, and would have died with was born at a time in the pregnancy that partial birth abortions are allowed. 

How can they say this is not painful to the babies. My son was capable of feeling pain, of feeling comfort, and of feeling every needle they stuck him with.  How can they think that these babies that are partially born and the executed do not feel?  This is the biggest example of murder ever presented.   

My son is now eight years old and a miracle in himself. He shares our home with my husband, myself, his seven year old sister, and his 17 month old sister. I am thankful everyday for his life. I am thankful everyday that those doctors saved us both. Any woman contemplating an abortion especially a partial birth abortion can contact me. I will send her pictures of what her child would look like born at that age. I will tell her my tale of how my son fought against all odds to be born from a broken body that could not care for him, to stay alive, and to be the little boy he is today. 

Thank you for this chance to share. Your sight is wonderful keep up the good work.

Hi there, my name is Jenessa Donahue. I posted to abortiontv a few years ago when I was 14, I believe you put my letter on Babies Not Slaughtered. Anyways I'm 20 now and still standing very firm on my abortion opinion. Even more so now after what happened to me last winter. In October of '05 I found out that my boyfriend and I were expecting a baby. The first thing I felt was fear. Fear that my boyfriend (who at the time I had only been dating for 3 months) would leave me when I told him. After establishing that that wasnt an issue, the second thing I felt was complete and utter ecstacy. Even though the pregancy wasn't planned, and I wasn't really ready to be a mother, I was ready to try. I was ready to have that baby.....I think ANYONE and everyone, even couples who are already parents, wonder and question if they are in fact ready for a baby. So, we prepared ourselves for what was to come. It was when I went for my first ultra-sound that I got the bad news. I had lost the baby. At 9 and a half weeks the placenta was dying and the fetus had no heart beat. It was later that my boyfriend told me his roommate's girlfriend had an abortion around the same time that I lost my baby. I was crushed. I couldn't believe someone could so carelessly throw life away, when I had wanted it so badly. It really made me take a step back and re-evaluate my life. I feel so lucky to be here. Every day is a miracle for me. 

I met my birth mother in the summer of '05. I also met my half brother and sister. I know who my birth father is though I haven't met him. He actually lives here in Calgary, where I live. When I told my parents two years ago that I was ready to begin searching for them, my mother took it a little hard, and I knew she would. She was afraid that after 18 years, once I found my birth parents, I would leave and forget everything they've done for me. It's an understandable fear, probably one of her greatest. I also think she was worried for my safety, worried that I would find them and discover they wanted no contact with me at all. She was still trying to protect me. Needless to say Vivian, my birth mother, is a wonderful woman. She's very strong and I see certain traits I have in her. Her family is very beautiful, and my two siblings are very sweet. I've always thought that I've had a pretty hard life, a lot of really rotten things have happened to me. Not at all associated with being adopted though, just dealt a shitty hand I suppose. Now though, reflecting back on this letter...I'm actually pretty lucky. I have two families who love me very much. Well, anyways, thanks for listening.
