About Those "Safe" Abortions...

In the relatively recent past, it was possible to 'google' "Abortion Injury Reports" and access reports that were written decades ago about women who were injured in abortions. One that was particularly horrific pertained to a young (then) woman named Lillian Lawson of Dallas. As recently as a year or so ago, it was possible to obtain the newspaper report of what had happened to her. She had her abortion in 1990. I guess it's not possible to obtain that report about her now, but there are numerous other more recent reports about other people that can be obtained, including those who have been injured by medical abortions, if one desires to do the research.

Nonetheless, I'll relate what happened to Lillian Lawson, so that it can serve as a warning of the kinds of things that can happen to young women in abortion clinics. While Lillian was on the abortion table, the doctor lacerated her uterus, then, with forceps, went through the laceration, latched onto her intestines, and pulled them through the laceration, through her womb and vagina and out into the open air. (I presume, otherwise, how would he know what he had done? I'm also assuming the doctor was "he" and a medical doctor.) After that horrible injury, Lillian was left on the table with her feet in the stirrups for seven hours before she was transported to Presbyterian Hospital where the damage to her uterus was repaired, and where a colostomy was performed. That means, of course, that her waste henceforth went into a bag that she had and has to wear at all times, and empty and clean, rather than going directly into the toilet as it had before her "safe, legal" abortion. Lillian still may be considered one of the "lucky" ones who survived such injuries resulting from abortions, though. After all, she sued and received a $5,000,000 settlement. Many others have died.

A similar case was reported in another of the same "Abortion Injury Reports" of a 14-year old girl from the Atlanta Area. The report was made by a "nurse" (?) who assisted the abortionist. The same thing happened to her that happened to Lillian Lawson, except that, rather than having her transported to the hospital, the "doctor" poked her entrails back through the hole he had made in her uterus and sent her home!

Naturally, the "nurse" didn't know what happened to the girl after she left the clinic, but Atlanta did report the death of a 14-year old girl as a result of abortion. Was it the same girl? Only God knows.

A matter of interest related to this is that, at that time, the parents of the girl might not have had any idea that their daughter was even pregnant, much less getting an abortion, because, though the school nurse couldn't have given her an aspirin without their permission, she could, at that time, have transported her to have an abortion without their knowledge or consent. They might have come home from work that evening to find their daughter dead or dying and not known what had happened to her that day! Moreover, it is still possible in many states for any adult to accompany a minor girl to have an abortion without the knowledge or consent of the parents. Furthermore, whenever state legislatures attempt to pass laws requiring parental consent or informed consent so that a woman can know what kinds of things could happen to her in an abortion, organizations that favor "a woman's right to choose" fight tooth and nail to keep such laws from being passed!

In recent years, however, the cloak of secrecy in the abortion industry is slipping a bit and people have become more and more aware of the injuries and deaths suffered on the part of young women as a result of botched abortions, and laws are being passed, such as the recently passed law in Texas, which was famously filibustered, requiring doctors who do abortions to have hospital privileges within 30 miles of their clinic. This has resulted in the closure of numerous abortion clinics in Texas, and howls of protest on the part of feminists.

There is an organization that is attempting to raise money to film a movie about one of the more grisly cases that have come to light in recent years. Inspectors were sent to inspect the clinic of Kermit Gosnell in Philadelphia (after an absence of inspections for many years). They were shocked at the sights that met their eyes: baby feet in jars; babies in freezers; dried blood on tables and floors, cat litter on floors and dirty litter in boxes, evidence of roaches, etc., etc., etc. (Surely it's not too late to read those newspaper accounts if desired. He was arrested and tried only a couple or so years ago.) One would be tempted to believe that his was the only clinic in the world that was that gruesome or unsanitary, but that is not the case. In Kansas City, Kansas, inspectors found just such an unsanitary sight, and the "doctor" failed the Medical Board test more than 10 times before being granted his license to practice. (Of course, that was a number of years ago, and that doctor may have been forced out of the practice altogether, but who knows what kind of individual may have taken his place?)

Prior to 1973 when the Supreme Court mysteriously found a "Constitutional right" to abortion despite the guarantee of our "right to life" in the Declaration of Independence, deaths resulting from pregency were relatively rare. Those pushing for "legal" abortions drew a number "out of the air" to sell the "need" for legal abortions. The number the abortion advocates quoted was in the thousands. The actual number was something like 39. Now, deaths resulting from abortions are hidden in medical language that can be mistaken for causes other than abortion so it is difficult to know how many women are dying of abortions today.

When dealing with those in the abortion industry (and it is a very lucrative industry), one is not dealing with the "cream" of society. In truth, though it is never dealt with in this way, abortion is, in reality, murder for hire. Beware!
