WARNING:
this post contains a graphic description of an abortion that may not be appropriate for some individuals. Please read with care.When I was a little over 18 weeks pregnant with my now pre-school child, I did a second trimester abortion for a patient who was also a little over 18 weeks pregnant. As I reviewed her chart I realised that I was more interested than usual in seeing the fetal parts when I was done, since they would so closely resemble those of my own fetus.
I went about doing the procedure as usual, removed the laminaria I had placed earlier and confirmed I had adequate dilation. I used electrical suction to remove the amniotic fluid, picked up my forceps and began to remove the fetus in parts, as I always did. I felt lucky that this one was already in the breech position – it would make grasping small parts (legs and arms) a little easier.
With my first pass of the forceps, I grasped an extremity and began to pull it down. I could see a small foot hanging from the teeth of my forceps. With a quick tug, I separated the leg. Precisely at that moment, I felt a kick – a fluttery “thump, thump” in my own uterus. It was one of the first times I felt fetal movement. There was a leg and foot in my forceps, and a “thump, thump” in my abdomen.
Instantly, tears were streaming from my eyes – without me – meaning my conscious brain - even being aware of what was going on. I felt as if my response had come entirely from my body, bypassing my usual cognitive processing completely. A message seemed to travel from my hand and my uterus to my tear ducts. It was an overwhelming feeling – a brutally visceral response – heartfelt and unmediated by my training or my feminist pro-choice politics.
It was one of the more raw moments in my life. Doing second trimester abortions did not get easier after my pregnancy; in fact, dealing with little infant parts of my born baby only made dealing with dismembered fetal parts sadder.... and yet, she continues to perform abortions to this day.
This is a daily prayer - that women contemplating abortion will turn around and go home to welcome new life.

Yes, I would imagine that MURDERING AN INNOCENT BABY would have a profoundly negative effect.
I’ve read this prior to this post along with some of her other stuff and comments on her site, and this woman, in addition to many who visit her site are sick. As deranged as can be. Satan’s plan to use abortion to destroy women is working. He must be defeated through prayer, prayer, and even more prayer.
What a cold-blooded b*tch.
For those of you who are Catholic (and even those who are not), I saw a bumper sticker at Church today that said “A Rosary A Day Keeps the Devil Away,” and I agree, it’s a great prayer to say daily. The types of demons in this woman and deep, ugly and monstrous, but with God anything is possible, and she too, can be converted. And remember to say a Rosary for yourself, that you don’t get consumed by all this darkness about. And have holy water in the home and use it. I attend daily Mass, and I realize for those who don’t, it seems too much of an undertaking, but it really isn’t, and I so enjoy being with about 100 others who are there every day receiving Christ’s Body. Jesus wants to erase abortion on this earth. But he’s looking for fans (an eager audience) of His plan. He’s waiting for our prayers, our encouragement, our beggings, and pleadings. I don’t know that He’ll do anything until we ask in large numbers. Why would a football team practice their hearts out, if only a few showed up?
Her moral compass is shattered.
I am not Catholic, but want to thank the Catholic people for actively keeping the abortion issue alive. Many thanks.

It makes you wonder how in the world she will face the God who created her infant, and the infant she murdered, and explain to Him why she did it. Somehow, money will not seem that important at that moment.
My blood turned to ice water when I read this. To continue with that which she knows is wrong, is worse than proceeding in ignorance. God is the only one that can have mercy on this witch.
She will never get the opportunity to face or see God......she is damned!

Continue to pray.
Maybe she could get a teaching position at Notre Dame, or some kind of grant from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development?

Dear God in Heaven help us... what does it take???
Words fail...
"Abortion kills an unwanted baby. Pro-choice thinking is killing America's soul."
Pretty repugnant..
Obviously her tears are meaningless.
