AGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[2banana]

As providers, we give all options, including adoption and carrying the child to term. I always ask a patient "Are you sure about this?"

Well, at least she is presenting both sides of the issue to the patient...

I even think that this "doctor" would have nothing against a 24 waiting period and parental notification of a minor seeking an abortion...

[cspackler]

So yes, I end life, but even when it's hard, it's for a good reason.

How noble of her to make these decisions.

What a witch.

[BibChr]

This reads like a parody. It features some of the lamest, most irrational, disconnected, perverted, in-denial thinking (if that's the word) I've read in recent memory. It makes my brain hurt.

That this woman is so educated and yet so stupid, and such a moral imbecile, is sad.

That she has the ability to kill children is... well, it's a horror.

When I walked into the room, there was this child -- an 11-year-old. She had come in for a procedure, and it soon became obvious that she had no understanding of sex -- she didn't really understand that she'd even had it, or that it had any connection to her pregnancy. We literally had to teach this girl about what it means to have sex -- about STDS, abstinence, and pregnancy. I remember thinking: In a world where people don't want kids to learn about these things, how can you not give them the choice to terminate a pregnancy?

In what kind of a world do we live in that people want to educate 11 year-olds about how to have "safe sex" instead of stopping them from having it in the first place?

My mom is Catholic and my dad is Jewish, and the church we went to had a pretty strong stance on it: The message I got was that abortion was wrong.

Does this person even understand why it is wrong? To know right from wrong is one thing but to understand it is another. How easily swayed was this woman to the dark side...

"I have the utmost respect for life; I appreciate that life starts early in the womb, but also believe that I'm ending it for good reasons."

This says it all. This so called doctor is playing God.

[frog_jerk_2004]

I don't think I'm going to be easily swayed.

Why not, you were once before?

[frog_jerk_2004]

"I have the utmost respect for life; I appreciate that life starts early in the womb, but also believe that I'm ending it for good reasons."

How early? How about conception? She's lucky her mother wasn't pro-abortion at the time of her begetting...

I cannot think of a greater horror than being a parent and raising your kid(s) to become abortion doctors...

[Cheryllynn]

Oh the poor thing having to do all this "work" herself! Give me a break!

[Salvation]

Catechism of the Catholic Church and what it says about those who support abortion

[kjvail]

The abortionist says to Jesus -

"I have the utmost respect for life; I appreciate that life starts early in the womb, but also believe that I'm ending it for good reasons."

Think that will fly?

I wonder where the 11 year old's parents were? The child must not have gone to public school because we all know what a great job they do of teaching our children about sex. And for this doctor to talk about things not being fair, how fair is it to kill a baby? So basically this "doctor" thinks if a baby would be a financial burden or inconvenient, then killing it is okay. This article really makes me angry.

I'm older now, but there was a time when I was going to sacrifice everything for the cause.
The older she gets the closer she gets to sacrificing everything for her cause.

I like a lot of different things about being an OB-GYN. But because sometimes I'm the only person around, I end up doing a lot of terminations.

The absolute crassness of this sentence it unbelievable. She equates killing the unborn to the burden of being forced to take out the trash. This is the fruits of the pro-abortion movement.

[xp38]

I feel like I'm doing something so right. How could people think it's wrong?

The road to hell

[frog_jerk_2004]

I wonder where the 11 year old's parents were?

Exactly. Or more likely, one of the parents or relatives is the father.

[Aquinasfan]

That all changed later on, when I had a crush on this guy who was a leader of Medical Students for Choice.

I see.

I've seen what abortionists do in The Hard Truth and Eclipse of Reason. I recommend these videos for all adults in consideration of our American holocaust.

Rationalization is too kind a word for this woman's thought.
