Abortionist Who’s Killed 95,000 Babies in Abortions: “I See It as a Calling”
Life News ^ | 7/7/14 | Steven Ertelt

Posted on 07/07/2014 10:11:54 AM PDT by wagglebee

Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based abortionist Dennis Christensen wants to retire but he has a problem. He told himself when he made plans to retire that he would only do so if he could find another abortion practitioner to take over his business.

But he can’t find any physicians willing to make it their job to kill babies in abortions.

If he and his partner Bernard Smith can’t find anyone else to run the ship, his Affiliated Medical Center will close down after 40 years of ending human lives in abortions. And a new law requiring Wisconsin abortionists to have admitting privileges at a local hospital to provide emergency medical care for the many women injured in botched abortions is exacerbating the situation for Christensen.

The Milwaukee newspaper has more on this situation and the potential good news for the pro-life community in the Badger state:

“I have always felt that this is a worthwhile endeavor and a necessary one,” Christensen said. “And there aren’t too many people who will do it.”

Abortion opponents disagree. Supporters of the recent state law think doctors like Christensen should be held to a higher standard if they want to work with patients.

And with a federal judge considering whether the state can require hospital admitting privileges of doctors who provide abortions, Affiliated may soon have to close its doors.

Christensen, who said he has performed 85,000 to 95,000 abortions, believes the harassment and stigmatization he has faced pale in comparison to the gratitude of the women he sees. But for many prospective hires, the harassment is a deterring factor, he said.

“So I see it as a calling, I guess,” Christensen said. “But I’ve been called, I’ve served and now I’d like to call someone else.”

Lyons sees her own long-standing role with her anti-abortion organization in a similar light.

“I definitely think it’s a calling,” Lyons said. “You feel a passion for the people who are negatively impacted by these acts.”

>> And please get off that dirge that “existence is intrinsically evil.”
>> That is a broad brush blasphemy.

Be careful with that charge of blasphemy, FRiend.

Blasphemy is to take God and what God has made as less than it is. It’s an ugly word... and it talks about an ugly thing.

The only UNFORGIVABLE blasphemy is the one that rebuffs, for a lifetime, the approach of the Holy Spirit announcing the personal salvation available from the Lord.

There was also Cartman’s mother on South Park who asked PP if she could abort him.

why, such a distinguished medical professional such as christensen should have no trouble getting admitting privileges at any Milwaukee hospital.

Not quite.

Everyone has souls and consciences. We are norn with a sin nature which means what comes naturally to us is doing bad things rather than good things, which is why we spend decades teaching kids how to get along and be nice, rather than how to screw others (as that comes naturally).

Free will ultimately lets people decide how they are going to behave, and if they want to behave badly it starts damaging their conscience which knows what tehy are doing is wrong. Rationalization is the second greatest human drive, so evil can be rationed away as good and good, evil, when the conscience has been damaged/destroyed. Ultimately the conscience doesn’t work anymore. It has been seared, fried, burnt out.

That is how this guy can become what he’s become.

I suspect he will fall into Hell so fast that he will not get a chance to tell his excuse to anyone but his father, the father of lies a murderer from the start.

I read once that the SS commanders had a real problem with the rank and file SS soldiers caving from the guilt of shooting civilians and prisoners of war.

We have no idea. But he has a soul. We can pray for his soul.

>> Everyone has souls and consciences.

Of course — I spoke metaphorically.

>> We are norn with a sin nature which means what comes naturally to us is doing bad things

Harm is not only dispensed by humans, but we are increasingly distressed when it is — the betrayal of moral expectations.

Humans have been blessed with a Compass to evade the harm too easily inflicted by a godless existence.

That’s true. They also had a problem with drunkenness because the SS men would get drunk to forget what they did. The Nazis came up with the Death Camp system because they thought it was more humane . . . for the SS men! I kid you not.

One day the doctor will have to answer to his Creator for all those lives lost. I can envision the doctor standing before the throne of God with all the souls of those children seated next to Him.
