Baby's 'angelic' face haunts former abortion nurse

I was Pro-abortion at one time also.

Back when the original debate was going on in the Fla. Legislature I was watching the public TV channel.

A nurse was testifying before the legislature. She related in graphic detail what ensued in the procedure and that the 'fetus' was tossed in bucket to be thrown out with the trash.

It turned my stomach.

May God bless President Bush and our Nation for doing the right thing. He could have "hemmed and hawwed" and then done the wrong thing for political reasons.

Signing this bill separates him from the trash we've had heretofore.

He gets my vote in 2004.

I remember when I was in nursing school the instructors asked us if we had any problem with abortion as we were about to go to Labor and Delivery where a number of abortions were performed. I didn't object as I was young and dumb and didn't want to appear intolerant or holier than thou. I witnessed exactly one saline abortion and that was enough to convince me that abortion was a terrible crime. A teenager who was already half way through her pregnancy had a saline abortion and a perfectly formed tiny dead baby with its skin burned by the saline was the result. If the young girl had only held on a few more months the pregnancy would have been over and someone could have adopted that baby. How could any doctor inject saline into a pregnant womb? Its no different than firing a gun into the womb.

I am an adoptive parent. My daughter was destined for abortion until her biological grandmother intervened. Tomorrow, my daughter will complete her catholic religious studies by receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. After receiving the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, and First Eucharist, tomorrow is indeed a day of joyous celebration for life!

There are countless souls in the world today, who desperately need a family to love and embrace them. God gives life. Adoption is simply another way of forming a family.

For those with love in their hearts, PLEASE consider opening your home and heart to one more, or several children. The love you give to one of these unwanted souls will be returned to you, throughout this life and beyond.

I'll ask my wife about it. I wold love to have more, and my children would be open to it, I think.

ProLife Ping!

If anyone wants on or off my ProLife Ping List, please notify me here or by freepmail.

Yes I would agree. Perhaps we can ask folks on prolife chats to stop using "Partial Birth" and start using "Forced Dialation and Extraction, sometimes called Partial Birth"

you have got to be kidding me? "Forced Dialation and extraction" means nothing to a lot of people. To most young people, and probably most guys who aren't fathers, this term is just some dumb medical term. But Partial Birth Abortion is pretty easy to grasp. You hear "birth" and "abortion" in the same breath and realize something doesnt work, something intrinsically ugly. Its the worst oxymoron there is. Lets keep it partial birth abortion. Or Doctor Induced Birth and Slaughter Procedure. Much better.

Life ping.

Thanks. God Bless.

It's even worse than that; it's evil for the sake of convenience. And I'm not one of those people who think you can have an abortion and then make all right with God by just crying and saying I'm sorry. It is impossible to make restituion for a life taken, it can't be a sin in the same league with larceny. The Old Testament (or maybe it's the New), bids woe to all those who harm the innocent, and who is more innocent than a baby?

The doctor perfoming the killing is definitely in league with the devil, but what can be said about the woman, any woman, who enlists his services?

She is sworn by all that is holy and primordial and natural to protect her unborn, but instead the baby's first and fearest enemy is her, not the doctor. The doctor doesn't seek the baby out, after all.

Even hell will not hold these people.

You advocate forcing women to bear children with serious genetic and developmental anomolies, no matter her personal situation? You think a woman should risk morbitiy and mortality from gestation and parturition under any circumstance?

[ArrogantBustard]

I think children should not be murdered under any circumstance.

You think physical disability is a good reason for killing someone? That's truly evil ...

[SarahW]

You are welcome to your opinion. I don't think it's evil at all, depending on individual circumstances, to end a pregnancy when there are serious developmental anomalies.

Pregnancy is difficult and dangerous under the best of circumstances. In some cases these risks outweigh the benefit of continuing.

BUMP. May God bless our crisis pregnancy centers & all who work as counselors, giving them wisdom and discernment as they deal with these life and death choices.

An excellent book on post-abortion healing is A Season To Heal by Luci Freed.

I don't think it's evil at all, depending on individual circumstances, to end a pregnancy when there are serious developmental anomalies.

I guess your son dodged a bullet by developing vision problems after he was born. Similarly, my wife (born with Tetralogy of Fallot w/ pulmonary atresia and numerous associated congenital cardiovascular & lung problems) and I (born with a paralyzed limb) are lucky that our parents were not the kind of people to commit murders of convenience. Oh, depending on "individual circumstances", of course.

[tame]

Amen and BUMP!

Have you heard "Tilly" Focus on the Family's radio drama? Frank Peretti’s story is chilling and sad.
