Jill Stanek's Accurate Summary of Cincinnati Abortion Center Closing: 'Debi Does Ohio"

September 28, 2005--The Cincinnati Abortion Services abortion center on Nassau Avenue in Cincinnati is presumably closed. The owner, Debi Jackson, cited the reason for closing as the lifting of a seven-year injunction on HB 421, a law which requires parental consent for minors seeking an abortion, and for all woman, an in-person consultation with an abortionist 24 hours before an abortion.

HB 421 is under stay again (and again rendered ineffective), as another appeal has been made against it.

Jill Stanek's insightful analysis is not being circulated in the mainstream news - please pass it on (reprinted below from http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46560).

Debi does Ohio

Debi Jackson, owner of the Cincinnati Women's Services abortion mill, is threatening to shut her chop shop after 32 years of depopulating service to the community.

Debi's thriving little enterprise does 1,200 abortions a year, aside from lucrative contraceptive sales. Abortions alone, at a minimum cost of $450 per, account for over half a million dollars of Debi's annual revenue.

Wanting to guard her thriving nest egg (pardon the pun), Debi and the ACLU have for seven years been fighting a public health and safety law passed by the Ohio Legislature requiring that abortionists have face-to-face, private, informational meetings with mothers 24 hours before scheduled abortions.

These meetings would include a state-scripted explanation of the procedure, including its risks; a list of abortion alternative agencies; the support obligations of the child's father and available medical assistance benefits should the child not be prenatally killed; and the characteristics of her child according to his or her current gestational age.

The new law also mandates that abortionists get written consents from at least one parent of minor girls before they abort.

Debi, a college dropout, is an appropriate spokesperson for the ignorance-is-bliss abortion crowd. She presented this interesting rationale to the Cincinnati Post: "Essentially, this law would be forcing us to run an abortion mill, running people in and out, and I can't in good conscience operate that way."

Leave your eyebrows incredulously arched while Debi takes another stab at justifying uninformed consent:

"I'm not willing to offer my services in a lesser way than I have before."

You don't need me to point out the numerous absurdities of Debi's drivel. I'll move on.

Actually, I'll move back – to 2001 – when Cincinnati CityBeat did a puff piece on Debi and her work "toward truly informed consent for abortion." Said CityBeat:

More than a 15 or 20-minute explanation is in order for such an important decision, according to Debi Jackson, executive director of Cincinnati Women's Services. A brief, same-day session can't begin to address the emotional, spiritual and psychological issues pregnancies and abortions bring up, she says.

Jackson requires each woman to talk to an "advocate" – she prefers that term to "counselor" – at least two days before getting an abortion. Most visits last 20 to 45 minutes.

So four years ago Debi bragged she required not 24 but 48 hours of think time prior to abortions at her mill. Meanwhile, her ACLU attorney recently told the court that a 24-hour waiting period "will see the rights of poor women further restricted," maintaining that poor women can't afford two trips or a hotel. Hmm.

But Debi's idea of "truly informed consent" is a tad unconventional. As part of a group called the November Gang, Debi is one of a half dozen U.S. abortion proprietors who "[d]espite being staunchly pro-choice … venture more willingly into areas like grief and regret than … most abortion clinics," reported Glamour magazine in 2003. Here's how Debi "ventures":

One of the questions November Gang clinics sometimes ask patients is, Can you see abortion as a "loving act" toward your children and yourself? Faced with that query, "a lot of them are totally taken aback," says [Debi] Jackson. "Then they actually think about it and they're like, 'Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I do love this child, but I can't [have] it right now.'" Witnessing such moments is one of the most rewarding aspects of clinic work, Jackson says.

Thus we learn that one way to demonstrate love for children is to kill them.

But there's more. In 1998, Debi expounded on the love embodied in abortion in a touching essay. Here is an excerpt of the piece, entitled, "The world as I would create it":

From choosing the kind of lighting (softer or brighter) to arranging for specific music that she would like to hear, the woman creates the space in which she will experience her abortion. …

She may have a circle of women friends take part in the procedure itself – an ancient ritual of fertility, life, death and rebirth. Whatever her beliefs, she is respected and honored for the thoughtful choice she has made for herself and her child who is not to be. …

Group or individual ceremonies may be performed to celebrate the women's journey on her chosen path. This is a period of reverence for the timeless and sacred ritual that is abortion.

Debi Jackson is either very sick or a Satanist. Since she has almost single handedly managed to tie up an Ohio pro-life law for seven years, I would guess she's the latter.

If I read this correctly, the reason her killing chamber is closed is because she'd have to tell parents what she's doing to THEIR children and grandchild and because women would be shown exactly who they're killing. Kind a puts a damper on Murder Inc.

I'll clap and whistle a little for this one, but I'm saving the champagne for when (if) we overturn Roe. Until then, we are just playing Whack-A-Mole with the murderers. For every clinic we close, another pops up.

This is a period of reverence for the timeless and sacred ritual that is abortion.

Molech worship has been going on a long time.
