If Only Abortionists Could Marry
cmr ^ | January 7, 2010 | matthew archbold

Experts have noticed the problem. There's a shortage of people willing to step up and do the job. And because of that, the limited number of those who have joined are stretched thinner and have to work harder. Experts have noticed that their average age is climbing rapidly. And they've noticed that many of our best and brightest young people aren't interested in joining.

While I could be talking about priests, actually liberals are worried about the graying of abortionists. Poor things.

All I can think is that if only they let abortionists marry, none of this would happen.

Amanda Marcotte writes that pro-aborts must:

Address the shortage of abortion providers. We all know the drill: the average age of an abortion provider in this country is soaring upwards, and many doctors who deserve to retire and spend their days playing golf stay in the business because there's so many women who need abortions and so few people to provide them. Few counties have abortion providers, and many women have to travel hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles to get one. And it's because younger doctors don't want to perform abortions. They don't have any memories of the horrors of septic abortions (unlike many older doctors), and the harassment they face if they join up seems like too much trouble.

The problem is complex, but not unfixable. We should lobby for stronger protections for abortion clinic workers, so that fear doesn't drive would-be providers away. More importantly, we need to find a way to get people with the right attitudes and the right skills into the business. Programs encouraging bright, young pro-choice people into medical school to train as ob-gyns who perform abortions is a good start. Pushing medical schools not only to teach the procedures for abortion, but also to highlight the dangers of self-abortion would also help. Perhaps a scholarship program for medical students who train to be abortion providers, or a debt forgiveness program for those doctors that provide abortion? There are endless possibilities, and we should undertake them.
Can you imagine that there are people out there who believe there aren't enough abortions taking place? Yeah, that's the problem in America.

To me, it says something positive about America that the number of abortionists is dwindling. I think it has something to do with technological advancements that allow us all to see what's inside the womb. The ol' "blob of tissue" argument doesn't really work anymore.

But if this graying of abortionists continues watch for some government intervention to entice young doctors into becoming abortionists. Because what good is federal funding of abortion without abortionists?

And we must always remember. Babies are the enemy.

As Mother Theresa said, “the country that accepts abortion, is the poorest of the poor”. We are pathetic for tolerating any of the libtards agendas.

The dirty little secret is that most doctors, especially OB/GYNs, think that abortionists are scum, and won’t perform elective abortions.

One I have been reading about more and more is to import muslim doctors to the USA to perform abortions.

They don't mind aborting infidels, in fact, they look at it as their contribution to jihad.

Those born after 1973 are far more aware than most realize that a significant portion of their generation was MURDERED and they are not inclined to inflict on others the fate that they barely managed to escape.

Or maybe it's because the younger doctors know more about when life begins than the older generation does.

Just watch, if Obamacare goes into effect, the government will start mandating that med schools teach abortion and then the government will force any doctor who receives government payments will have to agree to perform abortions.

Well the two abortionists who work in our little branch of hell are a female, age 58 and a male, age 79. Yes, that’s right——79. Now what 79-year-old in his right mind is still intent upon destroying what God has created? Abortionists are repulsive at any age, but 79? Come on!

Thank you very much for posting that link. Although I always knew that Mr. Heston was an outspoken advocate for conservative ideals such as the natural right of self defense and faith in God's divine providence, I had forgotten that he was also such a valiant defender of life.

This video might deserve a thread of its own. A more original version of the video without the advertisements can be found here:

Wow .. 79! What woman would feel comfortable with someone that old performing an abortion, other than one who was desperate.

What a waste of medical knowledge to use it to murder.

This is from the web page of the abortion clinic (Hell's branch office):

Carrying a pregnancy to full term carries much higher risks for women under the age of 20. One (1) in every 400,000 women dies from an abortion whereas 12 out of 100,000 (48 times greater) die from carrying a pregnancy full term. If the pregnancy is continued, risk of injury or serious illness is 100 times greater than with an abortion.

Where do they get these stats? Wonder what the risk of injury or serious illness is for the baby in an abortion!!!!! Not that they would care. Playing on the fears of young women so they can make money off the killing of the innocent . . . Disgusting beyond belief!!!

There’s something wrong when women think the “need” to kill their children. Maybe that’s where the discussion should start.
