Former Tiller intern: Abortion can be a radical act of love

I see being a doula as a political act and I believe that abortion, pregnancy, and childbirth can be a radical act of love and resistance. I’ve held the hands of thousands of people during their abortions and the compassion and love that I’ve witnessed while supporting someone during their abortion has shaped the kind of birth doula that I am today.

Being queer and actively choosing to work with queer and trans folks makes me a little different than the traditional doula (and I love that!).

I bet the women getting abortions think they have normal people there “helping” them.

Hmmmmmm. It's not really their abortion. It's the Baby's abortion. And you don't care. You don't care at all. You heartless bitch.

The “radical act of love” in helping someone murder their own child is a great example of the political poison that Homosexuality injects into society. What seems wise to mans logic is often quite foolish in God’s eyes. Homosexuals have rejected God’s wisdom for a very poor substitute. In the end, their error leads not only themselves into a self destructive life, but destroys all that they touch.

What then is liberal? Is it not liberation from the laws of nature and the God that created it? What are they “liberated” from?

The Liberal / Conservative battle is a life and death struggle with eternal consequences. It is not just a political lean.

You should make it clear that this article is about Kate Palmer, the radical “doula” — NOT Jill Stanek. Jill staanek just ran this item on her website.

I have no regret about Dr. Tiller. Sometimes it is just time to “cull” the herd in society.

I copied and pasted everything that was on Jill’s site. This is all there was. If people can’t figure it out for themselves it is not my fault.

Well, much of the abortion industry is about killing those deemed inferior, defective or unworthy of life. Which explains why the abortion industry chooses to locate their women's health facilities ("Vernichtungslager" in the original) in areas where they think lots of inferiors, defectives or unworthy of life live.

My first thought was "What's a Doula?" So I looked it up. Here's what Wikipedia says:

A doula (pronounced "doó la",[1] also known as a labour coach[2] and originating from the Ancient Greek word δούλη meaning female servant or slave[3]) is a nonmedical person who assists a woman before, during, or after childbirth, as well as her partner and/or family by providing information, physical assistance, and emotional support.[1] The provision of continuous support during labour by doulas (as well as nurses, family, or friends) is associated with improved maternal and fetal health and a variety of other benefits.[1][4]

This woman's role as an abortion doula seems to go against everything that doula stands for. Instead of helping people and infants, its her job to "compassionately" whisper "you're doing the right thing" into a scared girl's ear in an attempt to drown out the voice of the Holy Spirit screaming to stop.

I was not trying to criticize, but when an article starts out with “I” it’s easy to assume that the author of the article is referring to herself. It’s not until the last line when the other lady’s name is revealed.
