Offering Abortion, Rebirth (Arkansas abortionist gives women "their lives back")

He calls himself an "abortionist" and says, "I am destroying life."

But he also feels he's giving life: He calls his patients "born again."

"When you end what the woman considers a disastrous pregnancy, she has literally been given her life back," he says.

Before giving up obstetrics in 1991, Harrison delivered 6,000 babies. Childbirth, he says, should be joyous; a woman should never consider it a punishment or an obligation.

"We try to make sure she doesn't ever feel guilty," he says, "for what she feels she has to do."

I know I'm kinda new here, but isn't this obviously a DU provacateur? Or do we now promote murder?

Sarcasm has a way of getting misinterpreted here. The point is that this abortionist, who so opposes the notion that his clients should feel any guilt over taking life since they feel they really need to kill, would undoubtedly NOT feel the same way about someone who wanted to take his own life. Pointing out the irony there hardly constitutes promotion of murder.

Ok, so she's a fan of Oral Roberts and a Southern Baptist, and smart, and she kept getting herself knocked up? Sounds like other emotional issues going on here. And making up for past mistakes with a "perfect" family don't cut it in my book.

I suspect she was just forgetful. Should she have been made to have those children? Of what value to society is a physician, a psychiatrist? And to make the question even more nettlesome, she is a physician, not a "fee"sychian.

So it's ok to kill babies so long as you provide free health care later on in life? Maybe on of those children she wasn't "forced" to have could have come up with the cure to cancer.

Geez... Remember how human sacrifice used to be justified by similar logic?

Abortion HURTS and KILLS women. Women who find out the sex of the child are twice as likely to kill it they find out its going to be a girl. Abortion is paraded as a womens liberation, its one of the biggest lies ever told and repeated ad neasuem.

The "giving life" doctor is so very caring, isn't he? The bottom line is that he probably makes a beautiful dollar in this awful profession.

I suspect she was just forgetful. Should she have been made to have those children? Of what value to society is a physician, a psychiatrist? And to make the question even more nettlesome, she is a physician, not a "fee"sychian.

First of all, she should not have been forced to bear those children.

But if she has convinced herself that she did the "right thing" by hiring someone to kill the four siblings of her two surviving children, she has made an even more grave mistake than she did by failing to use birth control.

What does her own value to society have to do with anything? Nine months, pop, sploosh, she's done. What about the value to society of the four unborn children she killed? Children who could have been adopted to a loving, well-off family like ours, and been raised to become physicians, psychaitrists, or Nobel prize winners in their own rights?

We have been working for nearly two years to adopt a little boy from an orphanage in Russia, and every day we look at his picture we are thankful that his mother decided to let him live.

"I suspect she was just forgetful.

You mean she forgot that sex causes babies?"

Nope - I mean she forgot to take her pill that day. Trust me on this, she was quite bright, just a bit distracted - perhaps contemplatively detached would be a better word.

With the brains G*D gave a pet rock, I'd have married her. Come to think of it, at one time we were going to get married, but as is the case with those who live tohgetherm marriage receeds with time lived together.

Having a home on a lake wasn't a good thing in that it made it too desirable to move in with me before marriage. But I was young and still in my Liberal years.

"The mind boggles." Uhhh - yours or hers?

For her sake I wish I could say hers was a perfect life, but her first arrived as a super early premie, while she was still in med school. Fortunately, it grew into a talented adult, even though the odds were grossly against even normality, much less being gifted.

Her marriage lasted some years, but she seems not to have found the soul mate she deserved.

Liberalism is vilely destructive to both the welfare mother and the privileged, alike.

Let's not get too agenda driven, shall we? I raised these issues because I think that the choice should be made by the woman. Being male, I can't have children, don't have to deliver a child (think stretching your upper lip over your head), and won't tell another how to decide their life.

But discussing the ethics of such decisions is OK with me, and I hope may be of some help to others.

Needing two years to adopt is proof positive that the population of lawyers need a direct reduction.

Best of luck to you and your wife.

Sarah paid big bucks for that wedding dress I dont blame her for wanting it to look nice.

She could prolly have sold it to someone else and gotten a maternity size one. Many of those styles are so puffy with lace and whatnot that it would be difficult to tell anyhow.

There are just no words. How can anyone read this and think that what these women and this doctor do is okay. There is something less than human about them. They are certainly without conscience.

Yeh, they wouldn't want to be saddled with something like a human life that they created. God have mercy on their souls.
