Why I Learned Second-Trimester Abortions for a Post-Roe America
nytimes ^ | 05/06/2022

...

But as the abortion rights landscape in America has grown more dire in recent months — with numerous states moving to ban most abortions, and Roe v. Wade likely to be overturned by the Supreme Court this summer — I wanted to do more. So I traveled to abortion clinics in Oklahoma and Kansas earlier this year to learn to perform second-trimester procedures.

My family and I will soon be moving to a part of the country where there are many fewer abortion providers than in California, but where abortion is expected to remain legal in a post-Roe America. The state I’m moving to, like all states with decent abortion access, most likely will see an influx of patients after the coming Supreme Court ruling. And an increasing share of those patients are likely to need second-trimester abortions.

Just Great! Another Blue State Liberal most likely moving to a RED state bringing ALL their STUPID ideas and voting patterns with them.
I’m well beyond nauseous.

I’m not agreeing with the NYT permission to read this....

....but if this person is real and if the story relates how he learned to do advanced abortion procedures.....

...expect to see more of this.

However......the desperate baby killers, as they expose themselves, could lose more than they hope to gain!

Wow.

Those who are staunchly opposed to abortion value the life of the fetus more than the autonomy of the pregnant person. For me, the autonomy of the pregnant person is more urgent. I have been pregnant three times, and am the mother of three children whom I adore, so I understand the physical, emotional and financial toll of childbearing. The thought of being forced into an unwanted pregnancy is horrifying. The idea of giving birth to a child and having to make the decision to parent a child I do not want or give that child up for adoption is heart-rending.

These children were unavailable for comment.

Baby killer.

My dad told me that you either believe abortion is murder, or you don’t. There is not a lot of grey.

decent abortion access

Where's the irony in that?

Anyone who's studied European history of the last 80 years understands how it is that Doctor Mengele was able to sleep at night.What I want to know is: how is it that *this* murderer is able to sleep at night?

Oklahoma is probably the place to land doc.
We have a trigger law, a six week law, and are trying to end most all abortion.
We have enough kooks in Tulsa and Oklahoma counties ruining the state with out you transplants.

I've often wondered how abortion butchers...and their followers...would react if aborting female babies was illegal while aborting males was completely legal.

When you think back to Nazi Germany aborting an "Ayrian" child was illegal while aborting a "non-Aryian" child was completely legal.

Second-trimester abortions?!

Piker!

Why not third-trimester abortions?! A quick kick to the belly works wonders and is a lot cheaper than these so-called "medical interventions."

What really changed my mind about the entire abortion issue is how they (the Left) constantly push for second/third trimester abortions and why: Because the organs of a 2nd/3rd trimester fetus are worth more. To Planned Parenthood, the main traders in dead baby parts. A Down syndrome child aborted in the 20th week usually has, in spite of its DNA abnormality, normal heart/kidneys/lungs, etc. You can really cash in on those parts.

China used to FORCE people to have abortions and they still do. Now they are actually killing political prisoners - similar to our friends from the Jan 6 encounter - so they can harvest their organs. If you want to speculate on where this is all going.

Of course, if the abortion mills advertised with: “We can get you top dollar for your aborted fetus,” then everyone involved might get in trouble with the law, if not their spouse, family, etc. So they get paid for the procedure and then for the remains.

In no way, shape, or form is this a civil right. It’s all about the dollas. Project Veritas did right in following the money. I didn’t really have a moral care in the world about abortion before I realized how these weasels get rich from lying to people and tricking them into killing their kids. Then I started to have a problem, and the more I found out about it the more I started to see that it was just plain old wrong.

Birth control pills used to be illegal, too. Keep acting like hysterical killer hags, ladies, and we’ll REALLY return to the Dark Ages.

That is an interesting aspect to ponder. I would word it like this:

What if aborting female babies, minority babies, or those with the fabled homosexual gene could be aborted right up to the moment of birth or shortly thereafter, but aborting white, male babies was completely illegal at any time?

One can easily imagine the screams of outrage, sexism, racism, homosexualism. They would say that this selection is unequal protection under the law or something like that, or that the rights of the aborted babies were being violated.

To those screams, you would say “But wait-you said they were not human, just clumps of cells. You are saying those unborn babies have rights? That they aren’t just a clump of cells?”

Hey, it’s your body, your choice.

Which is why I am sure the left will know join in calling for the end of vaccine mandates. People have a choice of what to take out of and out into their bodies, right?

Back in early 90’s there was an abortionist out of st louis who had satellite clinics in springfield and cape girardeau. Southwest corner and southeast corner of missouri. A day or two a week at each clinic. A woman began seizing and coded during abortion (prolly due to intravascular lidocaine while injecting cervix), There was no crash cart, no ambu-bag and no CPR, they just called ambulance and started next procedure in the other room. The patient died and I believe he lost his med license.. The OB/GYN docs in springfield hated this guy, they said they had to frequently clean up his mistakes.

Not only are the organs worth more, the providers charge more money for later procedures. So Dr. Death of the editorial here is getting richer by performing second trimester abortions.
