DALLAS, November 6, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a jarringly candid statement made to WFAA-TV in Dallas, Texas, late term abortionist and Baptist Minister Dr. Curtis Boyd said that when he performs abortions he is "killing," and he has no issues with it whatsoever.
"Am I killing? Yes, I am. I know that," Boyd said during a video interview with the news station following the opening of the Southwestern Women's Surgery Center abortion facility. By law, Boyd must have a surgery center in order to abort a child more than 16 weeks along.
"We see patients from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and across Texas," Boyd said, admitting that he has performed abortions on girls as young as nine years old.
"The hardest ones are the young girls," he said, saying that girls as young as 9 and 10 years of age have been to his center for abortions.
Boyd opened the first abortion facility in Texas in 1973 following the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision and is the only doctor in North Texas who will perform late-term abortions on women up to six months pregnant.
The abortionist said he was a friend of the late Dr. George Tiller, a fellow later-term abortionist in Witchita, Kansas who was gunned down earlier this year. Like Tiller he professes to be a Christian who prays about the abortions he does.
Boyd told WFAA-TV he is an ordained Baptist minister who has now joined the Unitarian church. He said he prays often.
"I'll ask that the spirit of this pregnancy be returned to God with love and understanding," he said.
Karen Garnett, of the Catholic Pro-Life Committee, who regularly witnesses to life outside the abortion centre, noted to WFAA-TV that Boyd's prayers are "vastly different" from the ones offered by the pro-lifers on behalf of the children he has killed and the mothers they are trying to save from undergoing an abortion.
"We're certainly disappointed to hear any unborn child will be killed by abortion," said Garnett. "But, to hear it's a late-term abortion in Dallas, once again, it's particularly devastating."
first a fallen away Catholic, then a fallen away Baptist, then a fallen away Unitarian. a normal regression, nothing unusual at all!!
But LifeSiteNews isn’t a “Catholic press agency”. They obviously have a lot of Catholic readers and run ads for Catholic stuff, but their mission statement says nothing about Catholicism.
I’m sorry, no Catholics mentioned in the article. It mentioned only Baptists and Unitarians. What Catholics are you talking about?
Well, there was one: “Karen Garnett, of the Catholic Pro-Life Committee ...”.
“Bottom line: Pro-Choice folks know DAMN well that they are killing.”
I went to a state school in NJ in the early 90s, and the debate had already gone beyond whether or not abortion involved life. The “professor” in one of the non-major classes we were required to take used an example of waking up one day with a person connected via machines to you, by which your organs were keeping them alive. She then spent months making the case that you didn’t have to keep them alive; an over-simplified argument that life itself was irrelevant.
The most ardent supporters of abortion know very well that it involves life, and are frustrated that more non-whites aren’t “liberating” themselves by murdering their children.
The war against legalized abortion is being waged by Protestant fundamentalists. I’m a Roman Catholic, but after attending the March for Life, and watching the political battles of the past decades, it has become obvious that while some Catholics oppose abortion, many have rationalized voting for candidates who support it. Protestant Republicans are consistently more pro-life than their Catholic Democrat opponents, and much of the Catholic hierarchy in the US has no interest in engaging on this issue.
Good work.
