Patricia Pokriots fabricated a story about a baby being thrown out of a car in order to cover her pregnancy from a disapproving family. In an age where it not only common place for women to have an abortion for selfish, cosmetic, or other unjustifiable and immoral reasons she not only carried through with the pregnancy but went to great lengths to ensure it would be cared for by a loving family.
Was this baby thrown from a car?
then that is a stupid headline, whomever wrote that was not pro-life
I think the writer just meant that she is a hero for not terminating the pregnancy through abortion and killing the baby. Patricia lied about throwing the baby from the car in order to avoid the responsibility of parenting, but thankfully the baby is alive and well, and will live a long happy life.
Someone at that website needs to get hit upside the head with a hammer, thats not the definition of a hero after what she did. She could have simply handed the baby to anyone at a hospital or a fire station and left.
I emailed the original poster so hopefully I'll get a response with regards to the source of the photo. I'll ping you with the reply.
What she did was wrong and irresponsible I completely agree but in Patricia's defense, she knew that she had no intention of keeping the baby yet she held on and delivered the baby unharmed. In the eyes of most pro-lifers, she is indeed a hero for maintaining an unwanted pregnancy.
This is a quote:
"The procedure is usually performed during the fifth month of gestation or later. The woman's cervix is dilated, and the fetus is partially removed from the womb, feet first. The surgeon inserts a sharp object into the back of the fetus' head, removes it, and inserts a vacuum tube through which the brains are extracted. The head of the fetus contracts at this point and allows the fetus to be more easily removed from the womb."
Often the instruments and brutal force cause the head and/or limbs to separate from the body.
Hmmmm? I don't see anybody twisting your arm making you even look at this post .. let alone post here.
I'm not aware of the condition you mentioned but I know here in Canada a woman of 14 years of age (legal age of consent) can have an abortion at any time, for any reason, no questions asked.
No, looks to be a well formed fetus... this was ellective.
I think GOD thinks it's a big deal, HE said, "Better that a chain be hung around your neck and you are thrown into the sea than to lead one of my little ones astray".
And .. if that's what GOD thinks about "leading a little one astray .. just imagine what HE thinks about MURDERING one of his little ones.
And .. I didn't write that .. okay ..??
Jesus said, "Those who hate me - love death".
OK, we've all seen these pictures.

First time I've seen such awful ones. Speak for your self
What makes you think so? DO you see the exposed brain tissue? Why would that be like that? Are you medically trained? Ultimately I doubt we can really know given an out of context photo.
Wow, now you sound like you know what you're talking about. I have never seen an actual picture of the procedure before so I can only make assumptions of the graphic nature. If this is not a PBA would the image of one appear similar to this?
Why get rid of the thread?
Maybe someone will see who does not really want to know what abortion is about. This will show him/her what it is.
A real life taken by a mother's choice.
I think it's near term also - since a baby usually gains most of its weight in the last month and the baby doesn't appear to have much fat yet.
Yes.
The fetus is proportionally formed... no signs of growth retardation...nor malformation. This child was alive when it was dismembered.
Looking at the shoulder area it looks as if the the disturbance of the arm could have exposed some tissue in the neck rather than the brain.
