Lib logic.

A recent story at Esquire chronicled the abortion practice of Willie Parker, an abortionist who commutes from Chicago to Mississippi to commit abortions at the state’s last abortion mill. Mississippi is devoid of any abortionists of its own who are capable of obtaining hospital admitting privileges, a requirement now mandated by law in several states. Consequently, Parker — who boasts an unusually clean record for an abortionist, and was able to obtain privileges nearby — travels to the South to fill in.
Esquire calls Parker’s practice a “ministry,” playing off of the abortionist’s professed Christianity. The author chose to conclude the piece with a chilling look into the heart of Parker’s so-called ministry, following him through the process of examining fetal remains immediately after each abortion.
Reporters have rarely been invited to view this process. Those who have witnessed abortion first-hand report varied reactions (mostly horror, and helplessness), but across the board is the shock that abortion is not what they thought. The tidy phrases and semantics (“reproductive justice,” “products of conception,” even “abortion”) did not prepare them for the reality of dismemberment, gore, tears, pain, “little rib cages.”
It is impossible for reporters to walk away from the experience with any illusions about what abortion really is. When they use terms in their subsequent writing such as, “reproductive rights” after witnessing what that actually means, they can undoubtedly visualize the severed limbs and crushed bodies that comprise that term at its core. Initially, the Esquire reporter opts for a cold, clinical tone to recount the experience:
After each procedure, [Parker] carries the large glass vacuum bottle into an adjoining room. There he pours the fetal tissue from the bottle into an ordinary kitchen strainer and runs tap water over it, then empties the strainer into a clear Pyrex dish and examines the tissue on a light table.
Among the “uterine contents” that passed over Parker’s light table that day were three sacs, the tiny cocoons containing three small lives that, moments earlier, were nestled in their mother’s womb burgeoning with triplets. The reporter seems unfazed. Then a fetus at six weeks’ gestation that he describes as “lumps of red tissue.” Still, little emotion is conveyed in the writing. But then, the corpse of a nine-week-old fetus is sloughed onto the table:
But then he brings in one that’s nine weeks and there’s a fetus. He points out the scattered parts. “There’s the skull, what is going to be the fetal skull. And there are the eye sockets.”
Floating near the top of the dish are two tiny arms with two tiny hands.
The reporter admits that his invitation into the innermost rooms of that facility was rare. “But today [Parker] made a conscious decision not to hide the truth,” he says, tellingly. The truth. Parker calls this truth a thing that he hopes “people can deal with” at some point. He defaults to bemoaning the “stigma” of abortion — a stigma that is enshrined not by the pro-life movement, but by his own.
The stigma proliferates when abortionists lobby against sonogram laws that force abortionists to provide women with the full knowledge of what they are doing before they go through with an abortion. Typically unable to see the postmortem bodies of their babies, abortionists do not even want women seeing the living, non-gruesome version fluttering on an ultrasound screen. Why? Because it would (rightly) stigmatize their profession in the eyes of their clients. At the end of the day, the abortion industry will protect the stigma fiercely, because failing to do so would put them out of business.
But the reporter admits that, at this point, “it’s hard not to look at those tiny fingers, no bigger than the tip of a toothpick.” Is Parker as disturbed as he is by this experience on a daily basis?
When I recognize whole fetal parts? No. Because I’m not deluded about what this whole process is.
Which is precisely why, no matter how gruesome and unpleasant it may be, the pro-life movement MUST let people know just how evil and violent abortion truly is.

As history has shown us only too well, with the proper mindset, we can de-sensitize ourselves even to... say... freight cars full of human beings being gassed and loaded into ovens.
Truth, when you first start picking up dog poop, you recoil from the smell. But, a couple of weeks later, no recoil.
Of course the pictures don’t bother them. Whats important is that they can continue to party now that their baby is dead.
Lib logic.
I can’t even bear to read this. Lucifer must get quite a chuckle from this monster’s professed “Christianity”.
America has so much blood on its hands.
I pray that's true.
Modern day Nazis. Just like the ones in the 1930s and 40s who saw the ovens and piles of dead children and told themselves they were doing good.
Seared consciences.
Isaiah 5:20 applies. Judgment is inevitable.
Lucifer does not laugh. Lucifer likes nothing, feels no joy, just hatred, disdain, repulsion, envy, jealousy of all things human created in God’s image.
There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that the pro-death world, including our nation, is hearing the warning of the coming judgment. Lucifer unchained.
That's bad enough. Except when someone came over and bumped it the child can be seen KICKING BACK!!
