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!
