Jesus, Mary, Joseph I love you very much.
I beg you to spare the life of the unborn child that I have spiritually adopted.
Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.

ABC gave pro-abortion advocates free advertising last night with its “World News Sunday.” During the report, an abortionist unequivocally stated that late-term abortion is “really a miscarriage of a stillborn fetus.”
Anchor Dan Harris framed Steve Osunsami’s segment as a look at why doctors risk their lives to perform abortions given the “constant threat” of violence they face, as evidenced by last week’s murder of abortionist George Tiller and recent comments from Tiller’s accused killer that “similar attacks are planned all over the country.”
Harris teased the segment “Tonight, we talk to late-term abortion providers who fear they are targets. Why do they do it?” He stated in his introduction, “Why would a doctor take that risk? And why would a woman make that choice?”
Osunsami’s report quickly revealed itself as a propaganda piece. He lamented, “Tiller was one of the few doctors in the U.S. who specialized in late-term abortions, abortions performed as late as the third trimester. With Tiller’s death, there are now fewer than a dozen U.S. doctors who offer the procedure.”
Neither abortion provider featured in the segment actually explained why they perform lateterm abortions. In fact, both avoided using the word “abortion.” Toni Hawkins, executive director of Atlanta’s SurgiCenter, simply stated that Tiller’s death “will make us more firm in our resolve in what we do and why we do what we do.”
LeRoy Carhart, a Nebraska abortionist and the plaintiff in Gonzales v. Carhart, the 2007 U.S. Supreme Court case that upheld the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban, offered a description of late-term abortion, “It’s very much a three day, four day, even five day procedure. And in our procedure, after the first day, the fetus is no longer alive. So it’s really a miscarriage of a stillborn fetus.”
Why can’t Hawkins or Carhart call “what they do” abortion?
Hyping up the fear of violence, Osunsami also noted that Carhart’s “safety was such a concern he would only meet us behind closed doors and he came with security.”
As if to make late-term abortions more palatable, Osunsami also reported that Carhart “wants America to know that late-term abortions are rare. A small percentage of all abortion procedures.”
Kara Black, a woman who went to Tiller for an abortion after finding out at six-and-a-half months into her pregnancy that her baby would need three open-heart surgeries and could expect to live just 3 to 5 years, defended Tiller and the procedure. She told ABC, “How do you recover from a loss of a 3 to 5-year-old as you watch them slowly die?” Black added, “If people knew what he really was doing up there and dropped this, you know, fairy tale that, you know, you get pregnant, you have a healthy baby. It doesn’t happen like that.”
One can imagine the difficulty of Black’s decision. However, ABC portrayed late-term abortion as the only choice she had in this circumstance when that is not the case. [See another point of view here.]
Osunsami did include a short sound-bite from Tom McClusky, vice-president for government affairs at Family Research Council. “Any abortion we see in the pro-life movement as being wrong, but in the case of late-term abortions, these are children that have arms, have legs, feel pain,” he stated.
Funny how Carhart managed to leave those details out of his description of the “procedure.”
While late-term abortions may be a "small percentage" of the 1.3 MILLION abortions performed each year in the United States, the FACT is that Tiller the Killer testified that he performed between 250 and 300 late-term abortions each year.

ABC is owned by Disney. Boycott Dinesy, GE (NBC/MSNBC), Time Warner (CNN), etc.
No interview with a fetus who fears she is the target of violence by deranged fanatics with an agenda?
What a cruel prevarication. This guy is taking advantage of the fact that dead fetuses, dead of natural causes, are “aborted” by the obgyn—technically, any woman who has miscarried had an aborted pregnancy. Sometimes the terminology is embarrassing to those suffering a miscarriage or still birth.
Mark.
One abortionist killer SOB dies and they all cry about how dangerous the job is.
BS
Abortionists are safer every day than a liquor store owner in SE Washington DC. A pizza delivery boy anywhere in Washington DC or PG. A taxi driver in the ghetto.Police or Fire Department personnel anywhere in the country.Any white couple in a black neighborhood.

Murders of abortion doctors are rare too—a small percentage of all crimes.
In Catholic teaching documents, what we usually call “abortion” is called “procured abortion.” I.e., abortion that is chosen, not natural or unavoidable.
BTW: Dr. Mengele did all his experiments on NON-VIABLE Jews. They were NON-VIABLE because they were unable to survive the showers and/or ovens.
I love that: “After the first day of the five-day procedure, they are dead, so it’s really just a miscarriage.”
Yeah sure, and the Nazis didn't kill millions of Jews...they just pulled dead Jews out of gas rooms.
People are blaming O'Reilly for Tiller's murder because O'Reilly called him a babykiller, etc. Maybe if someone is doing something so heinous that decent people have murderous impulses aroused by hearing or reading the truth about it ... maybe that "something" that person is doing is just plain wrong, no matter what the law says.

“It is the risk that comes with putting on the uniform.”
Show us the mangled body, ABC! Prove that it's not a human!
“And in our procedure, after the first day, the fetus is no longer alive.”
Osunsami, the top-notch professional investigative-type reporter, has no problem with not reporting “how” the fetus came to be “no longer alive”. Just follow the talking points Mr. Idiot Osunsami.
One murder of an abortionist in how long, and you'd think it happens every day. I'm not making light of the fact that their chosen "profession" puts them at risk, but it really is a small risk. The larger risk is for everyday life, driving the car, random violence (which is far more prevalent).
And this is the point, this Tiller guy is now a martyr and they will milk it for everything they can. We are better off taking the high ground, making them feel guilty and ashamed. It does work.....
