Planned Parenthood Director Quits After Watching Abortion on Ultrasound
FOX ^ | 11/2/09 | Joseph Abrams

Posted on 11/02/2009 7:26:12 PM PST by Nachum

The former director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in southeast Texas says she had a "change of heart" after watching an abortion last month — and she quit her job and joined a pro-life group in praying outside the facility.

Abby Johnson, 29, used to escort women from their cars to the clinic in the eight years she volunteered and worked for Planned Parenthood in Bryan, Texas. But she says she knew it was time to leave after she watched a fetus "crumple" as it was vacuumed out of a patient's uterus in September.

God bless those Witnesses for Life, both at this abortuary and throughout the nation.

You are right. I posted that years ago and was firmly rebuked by man and wife Freepers, one of which was a doctor. It is not ‘real’ but is effective.

Can’t say for sure.

But it always makes one think.

This is a photo shop photo. It isn’t real, but it does communicate a truth — the baby in the womb is alive and deserves life.

This photo is art to make a point.

Just keep praying; My favorite is St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein). If she could perservere, we can also!

Obama thinks a baby is punishment. The inference is that “unwanted humans” are trash that must be destroyed.

That is why one of his Czars was mentored by Harrison Brown who thinks of over-populated humans as “maggots.”

“The Challenge of Man’s Future,” by Harrison Brown.

[A] substantial fraction of humanity today is behaving as if it would like to create such a world. It is behaving as if it were engaged in a contest to test nature’s willingness to support humanity and, if it had its way, it would not rest content until the earth were covered completely and to a considerable depth with a writhing mass of human beings, much as a dead cow is covered with a pulsating mass of maggots.

“I am Catholic and recall praying for the fall of communism in Russia. It seemed to happen but looks like it is resurrecting all over the place now”

You did the right thing! The world will go it’s own way though when it wants and ultimately will choose to fight against God. That does not mean that prayer will not win battles in the meantime and we know God wins in the end!

Keep Praying

"Every school child should have to see at least one filmed abortion."

NO. Some things are too graphic and too traumatic for kids to see. There is no point in inflicting psychological abuse on children to fight abortion.

Suggestions such as that don't help our cause.

Leave the kids alone.

I will agree so long as this is limited to high school students. Children of lower grades should not be subjected to this kind of reality, IMO.

Considering what goes on today, though, some may believe middle school students can handle and benefit from viewing an actual abortion. Should parents be consulted for permission to do this?

As much as I wish this photo is real...

Of course it's not an actual photograph. It was posted to make the point that within a short amount of time, a baby in the womb quickly develops into a recognizable human being which began at his/her conception

I don't know if you are referring to the ages of kids or all kids, say those under 18. Whichever, I'll go along with your reasoning that we don't want to traumatize anyone.

The other side of the coin could be that a teenage girl, and maybe a boy, will end up traumatized to some degree for the rest of their lives when they eventually grasp the facts of their decision and cannot change it.

Fortunately God is still in charge.

We must continue to pray, do penance, and work to overcome this evil we face.

God Bless!
