Of the many lessons to be learned from the undercover work of the Center for Medical Progress in regard to Planned Parenthood and organ harvesting, one is that abortion not only destroys babies and their mothers; it destroys the doctors who perform it.
Many observers of the undercover video of Dr. Deborah Nucatola have marveled at how she can sit casually at lunch, eating salad and sipping wine, while talking about crushing the bodies of babies from whom she needs to extract livers and hearts to fill orders from medical researchers. How can Dr. Mary Gatter talk about wanting a luxury car and using a “less crunchy” abortion method to help attain that goal? How can people gather around the parts of a destroyed human being and be excited to find an intact kidney?
In short, what goes on in the mind, the soul, of one who aborts babies and sells their organs?
I have examined this question for decades, conducting meetings and healing programs with former abortionists and former abortion clinic workers, and collaborating with Dr. Philip Ney, the Canadian psychiatrist who has done the bulk of the groundbreaking research on this theme.
Seeking to understand how a person gets into the abortion business, and how they come out, is a fascinating and often scary undertaking. It shows us how totally a human being can disconnect from his or her own natural responses of horror and aversion to killing, from his or her own natural warnings of conscience. We're not talking here about a religious conviction or doctrine. We're talking about the most basic responses, rooted in human nature, that favor the preservation of oneself, of others, and of one's own species.
And what we find is that the ability to do what Dr. Nucatola has apparently done requires that you dehumanize yourself.
Each of us has a natural psychological and physical barrier to killing someone. In normal circumstances, we just can’t bring ourselves to do it. This is part of our humanity. Killing is easier when one dehumanizes the victim first. Bullies engage in name-calling before beating up their victims. Yet in dehumanizing the victim, the perpetrator dehumanizes himself. So it is with abortionists.
What we find is that abortionists normally begin medical training with high hopes that they will help humanity. Most of them, however, come from a childhood marked with abuse or neglect, and have low self-worth. An esteemed mentor may take them aside to show them an abortion, and the process of dehumanization is accelerated as soon as the abortionist-in-training refuses to listen to the voice of conscience. Dr. Philip Ney explains in his book The Centurion’s Pathway
“They quell their natural protest, ‘No, you mustn’t do that,’ much like they stilled a protest at their own mistreatment. Once they have passively participated in an abortion, they must begin to rationalize to themselves why they did not protest” (p. 39).
David Brewer, MD, a former abortionist, tells his story: “I can remember that day watching the first abortion … I saw a little tiny head, and I saw a piece of a leg, and I saw a tiny hand, and I saw an arm. You know, it was like somebody put a hot poker into me…I had a conscience and that hurt.… That was a very hard experience for me to go through, emotionally. So I did what a lot of us do throughout our life, we don't do anything. I didn't talk with anybody about it. … and do you know what happened? I got to see another abortion. You know what? That one hurt, too. But I kept seeing abortions, and it hurt a little bit less every time I saw one. Do you know what happened next? I got to sit down and do one…The first one that I did was kind of hard. It was like hurting again like a hot poker. But after a while it got to where it didn't hurt” (Testimony at “Meet the Abortion Providers” conference, Chicago).
Where’s my Lambo?
People eat veal cutlets. Is cannibalism just around the corner?
Imagine every morning you get up and walk out the door to do this?
If ever some old style Old Testament cleansing was needed, now is the time!
"Imagine every morning you get up and walk out the door to do this?"
When a nation opens the door to abortion it opens the door to rampant demonic influence. IMHO, not much else explains the fact that people with plenty of other opportunities choose to actively participate in massive infanticide.
Exactly. Who goes to medical school with the dreams of becoming an abortionist?
A very callous person, that’s who.
What this proves is what we have always known: the human conscience and heart is entirely malleable.
In the years ahead, we will explore again the remotest frontiers of that reality, where the ancient Canaanites left their signatures.
I'm reminded of that verse about the loving father disciplining his children. This country needs it.
Debbie Nucatola would have done well at Auschwitz.
Hey, it’s not murder, it’s solving a problem.
Why is there not a bounty on this woman’s head?
Not hard if you have no soul or have sold it to Satan.
Planned Parenthood is already thinning the planet's population, The Man-Made Global Warming crowd would surely like to reduce the human population, perhaps stock the shelves in Venezuela.
You may find this surprising. From a 2002 article in the New York Times:
''I am planning to be an ob-gyn, and I intend to provide the full range of reproductive services, including abortion,'' said Ms. Fanarjian, 33, who will begin her residency at the University of South Florida in Tampa next month. ''I want to be exposed to the procedure, because I strongly believe that if you go into this specialty, you should feel comfortable providing abortions.''snip
Most notably, beginning next month, New York will become the first city to require abortion techniques as a standard part of training for ob-gyn residents at public hospitals.
The NO LIVES MATTER crowd.
Ann Richards’ daughter.
HER daughter works on Hitlery’s campaign.
Hope that Lamborghini that one witch wanted is enough payment for her soul and an eternity in Hell.
If I recall, my mother had a tubal pregnancy (if I am remembering the term correctly) and they had to perform a D&C.
So, I can understand the the procedure would be part of training if the above is true.
