Ten years after the bloody Brookline clinic attacks, one doctor explains why she still performs abortions.

Think that will fly?

We can't judge her soul. But from all outward appearances, she seems to be in deep, deep trouble.

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.

Anyone familiar with the English language knows that whenever you use the word "but" it invalidates whatever was said previously.

Example: "I know I owe you $100, but ...."

note the change to PC language..... she starts out talking about "abortion" and then, as she begins to defend it, her language changes. She substitutes the word "terminations" for "abortions".

it would be my guess that she is against the death penalty.

Doing them over and over and over again can be really taxing. All of us who provide abortions believe in what we're doing and think it's a good thing and a right that needs to be available.

If you are so concerned about it being a good thing and a right.

THEN DO YOUR PART AND PERFORM THESE MURDERS FOR NOTHING. THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS NO VOICE IS THE MOST INNOCENT ONE BEING RIPPED APART FOR BLOOD MONEY.

Why does everyone ASSUME that pregnancy is the worst thing that can ever happen and abortion is the cure?
How do you know that a pregnancy will have an adverse effect on this kid and the abortion won't?
And before you begin to say ...."Well at that age..." don't bother. Pregnancy doesn't ruin anyones life no matter what age. Abortion does ruin - or more accurately DESTROY- life.
Its society's attitude toward pregnancy (at any age)that leads to these situations.
A pregnant eleven year old who didn't know she had sex? Why am I not believing this? It sounds more like this so-called doctor is reporting what she wants to believe to justify her own actions.

A guy "converted" her to pro-choice?

Not surprised at all. The most vociferous anti-baby crowd are men who want an "exit" for the the consequences of sex.

The most vocal pro-aborts I know are ALL men, many who express a profound disgust for the natural functions of women (pregnancy, childbirth, lactation). Breeders. Ickypoo. Get rid of that thing.

It's a man thing--more than a woman's choice. If there wasn't a boyfriend, husband or father pushing a woman to get rid of his problem, I wonder how many abortions there'd be?

Yup. Most often, young girls going in for abortions are accompanied by their mothers. How depressing is that?

"I have the utmost respect for life"

No you don't.

Because, if you really had "the utmost respect" for life, you would see how this statement of yours contradicts your "utmost respect for life":

"I appreciate that life starts early in the womb, but also believe that I'm ending it for good reasons. Often I'm saving the woman, or I'm improving the lives of the other children in the family. I also believe that women have a life they have to consider."

Onw wonders if this doctor, who says she has "the utmost respect for life" would consider ending the life of a six-month old infant if it meant that doing so would "improve th e lives of the other children in trhe family."

My guess is that she would not. She has, I would suppose, the "utmost respect for life" -- but only if the life has been born.

She says that she has the utmost respect for life and she also says that she "appreciates" that life begins in the womb.

She is lying.

I would feel worse terminating a wanted child than not being able to terminate at all.

Uhhh, I though the procedure was to remove a fetus, not "terminate" a child. This so-called doctor has just admitted that she makes her living by killing children. Or, is she saying that the fetus is only a child if it is wanted? Either way, this is a very sick person.

I used to do prayer vigils in front of the Planned Parenthood slaughterhouse mentioned in the story. The young girls who came in on Saturdays were most often accompanied by their mothers or boyfriends.

The myth of the sexual revolution and the advent of "the pill" is that these things benefitted women. The reverse is true, as Pope Paul predicted in "On the Regulation of Birth":

Consequences of Artificial Methods

17. Responsible men can become more deeply convinced of the truth of the doctrine laid down by the Church on this issue if they reflect on the consequences of methods and plans for artificial birth control. Let them first consider how easily this course of action could open wide the way for marital infidelity and a general lowering of moral standards. Not much experience is needed to be fully aware of human weakness and to understand that human beings—and especially the young, who are so exposed to temptation—need incentives to keep the moral law, and it is an evil thing to make it easy for them to break that law. Another effect that gives cause for alarm is that a man who grows accustomed to the use of contraceptive methods may forget the reverence due to a woman, and, disregarding her physical and emotional equilibrium, reduce her to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of his own desires, no longer considering her as his partner whom he should surround with care and affection.

Finally, careful consideration should be given to the danger of this power passing into the hands of those public authorities who care little for the precepts of the moral law. Who will blame a government which in its attempt to resolve the problems affecting an entire country resorts to the same measures as are regarded as lawful by married people in the solution of a particular family difficulty? Who will prevent public authorities from favoring those contraceptive methods which they consider more effective? Should they regard this as necessary, they may even impose their use on everyone. It could well happen, therefore, that when people, either individually or in family or social life, experience the inherent difficulties of the divine law and are determined to avoid them, they may give into the hands of public authorities the power to intervene in the most personal and intimate responsibility of husband and wife.

Dr Death here make one rationalization after another for her killing unborn babies. And this bubblehead thinks she's doing good. Amazing.

It's all about the money. Abortions are a quick and lucrative procedure that is often directly paid by the patient...no hassles with insurance, Medicaid etc. How many of these abortion docs are doing any of their work pro bono?

I expect that right now, she would be horrified at the possibility of doing this. HOWEVER, given a little more pro-death propaganda (and perhaps an affair with a dashing Dutch doctor to boot), she might salivate at the opportunity. The Culture of Death is relentless. Just a few years ago, nobody would have believed the doctors in the Netherlands would get society's blessing to kill off their patients. But today the elite in other societies (including our own) are demanding the same "services" from their physicians.

This is nothing more than an attempt to drum up sympathy by placing one's self in the role of victim. This "doctor" has no difficulty in rationalizing his role in terminating a human life. Tireless servants undertaking a noble cause while risking life and limb ... It is genocide. I don't believe that any sincere pro-lifer is sympathetic to Salvi or his kind, but to use that as a platform to present abortion as noble, is despicable.

Exactly. She would be against the death Penalty because of the Socio-Economic condition of the killer and for Abortion because of the Socio-Economic condition of the mother.

There is so much wrong here, so many lies...to take each one on would swallow up all of FR's bandwidth. This, however, I could not let stand without comment:

Obviously, the threat of violence is something that's always in the back of my mind, that it could happen, but I feel like I'm doing something so right. How could people think it's wrong?

This is someone who is completely refusing to accept that abortion is a supremely violent act. Abortionists are perveyors (if that means what I think it means) of violence and death--nothing else.

This 'doctor' would have done well on Josef Mengele's staff.
