Pro-life news brief 3-11-13

- The National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers was March 10. From the various pro-choice sources I read, it seems like it was less celebrated than usual.
- The Wichita Eagle interviewed one of the physicians who has signed up to provide abortions at the South Wind Women’s Center abortion clinic when it opens. South Wind is operating at the same location where George Tiller provided abortions in Wichita. The new physician says she’s never performed an elective abortion:
She has been a board-certified OB/GYN for about 10 years but has never performed elective abortions. The doctor says abortion is probably not a choice she would make for herself.But she believes that women have the right to that option and she said she felt a calling to step up to provide that option. The doctor asked to not be named in this story…. The OB/GYN wants to remain anonymous for as long as she can.
- The state of Maryland has suspended the licenses of three abortion clinics:
State health officials have suspended surgical abortion procedures at three clinics, including one in Baltimore where a patient suffered cardiac arrest and died.The physician who performed the abortion at Associates in OB/GYN Care LLC on North Calvert Street wasn’t certified in CPR and a defibrillator at the facility did not work, state officials said in a letter Friday to the General Assembly.
Although the cardiac arrest was caused by underlying health conditions and not the abortion, investigators found that it raised questions whether doctors at the clinic can handle an abortion that goes wrong….
The other two clinics that lost surgical privileges, located in Landover and Silver Spring [pictured above left], also are owned by Associates in OB/GYN Care and also had licenses suspended for issues related to the ability to respond to life-threatening problems during surgery.
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Less celebrated, eh? Guess because people are finally seeing it for what it REALLY is:
The National day Of Appreciation For Misogynist Hacks Who Maim Women And Kill Babies
Not so much “appreciation” for that.
A successful, board-certified obstetrician feels called to start a new life as a child killer, because she feels that “women deserve that choice.”
I’ve read some sad stories on this blog, but this one might be one of the saddest.
It easier when we can see the abortionists as greedy, abusive, demon-oppressed souls. We can rejoice when they break free and turn to pro-life. But it is equally sad and maddening when we watch as a good person is turned by the blood money.
The abortionist wasn’t certified in CPR? Good grief, even the hospital housekeeping staff where I work is CPR certified. A defibrillator didn’t work? Aren’t they checked daily? Its a joint commission requirement where I work, daily checks and documentation that the instrument is working properly.
The cardiac arrest was caused by underlying health issues. So didn’t the abortionist do any kind of risk assessment on this patient before operating on her?
Yeah, I would definitely say some serious questions are raised here concerning the abortionists’ ability to handle a life threatening crisis.
Women shouldn’t have to make this painful choice. Learning one is pregnant should always cause joy rather than panic or rejection.
I appreciate those who prevent problem pregnancies.
You know Denise, when women are supported and loved they overwhelmingly choose life and those pregnancies that started off with tears and sorrow become one of the greatest blessings of the woman’s life. I know because I’ve seen it with my own 2 eyes time and time again. The problem isn’t “problem pregnancies” but the selfishness of people, either the mother herself or the folks in her life.
I hope Operation Rescue outs this abortionist in Wichita and I hope she sees her patients running far from her. I didn’t read the article but I’m assuming she is keeping her OB practice as well. Way to pervert your medical skills lady. I take it that you’re pretty young seeing you’ve only been a board certified OB for 10 years. You’re probably a survivor of Roe. Our generation is missing a 3rd of our peers “Doctor”. Wake up. Don’t dirty your hands with the blood of innocent human children.
I agree, Del. Never performed an elective abortion before? So she seems to be making a distinction in her mind. I am hoping this abortionist sees the light before she goes numb.
She wouldn’t choose abortion for herself …then she shouldn’t have chosen it for someone else!!
We all have the free will to say no. I wouldn’t choose slashing my own throat and i wouldn’t choose it for anyone else.
This “doctor” sure repeated a lot of pro-choice bumper sticker sayings in that article. It is one things to babble on about women’s rights, it will be quite another to see mangled human corpses up close.
Hi Sydney M,
I hope they out her too. Cry me a river about the “danger” she’s in. I worked a hospital floor where we often cared for the most dangerous prisoners from the worst prison in the state. These guys would cut our throats as soon as look at us. Let me tell you about danger and stress. But it was our job and we did it. Also, working ER could be very dangerous. And they snivel and whine about operation rescue demonstrators?
She’s likely afraid of how her patients react. Well, lady that should tell you something about the line of work you’re getting into. If its so great, why are you so concerned about remaining anonymous?
Id run if her name wers ever released! My body my choice not to have you as my doctor !
Any “doctor” who is thinking of doing abortions…watch this. Please watch this. Listen to the sobs and tears and utter grief these women feel. Don’t do that to women. You are not helping them by destroying their children.

You know Denise, when women are supported and loved they overwhelmingly choose life and those pregnancies that started off with tears and sorrow become one of the greatest blessings of the woman’s life. I know because I’ve seen it with my own 2 eyes time and time again. The problem isn’t “problem pregnancies” but the selfishness of people, either the mother herself or the folks in her life.
(Denise) When I was growing up, my mother said, “So-and-so is pregnant. [Her foster mother] wishes she had never taken her in. She’s been such a disappointment.”
Other people said with contempt of other teen girls, “She got pregnant.”
People asked if there was something mentally wrong with me. My mother said, “But of course if she was more like other girls, she might get a boyfriend and get pregnant.”
I read in advice columns of teen girls who had caused problems because they got pregnant. I read a book in which it was said that someone had a problem when she got pregnant.
A friend told conservative, anti-abortion columnist Mona Charen than an unmarried daughter was pregnant. Charen lamented, “Oh, dear.”
I never heard, “So-and-so had an abortion. She’s been such a disappointment” or “If she was more like other girls, she might get a boyfriend and have an abortion.”
The PREGNANCY was the source of disappointment and anguish — regardless of whether aborted or not.
I stayed in my room all the time not just to avoid abortion but to avoid PREGNANCY. Even if I hadn’t had an abortion, I didn’t want to get pregnant with a child that I wasn’t prepared to raise or that I might have to place for adoption. I never heard anyone say, “Oh, it’s no big deal if a girl gets pregnant. She can just place the baby for adoption.”
I feared having an abortion but I feared the pregnancy itself first. If no one ever expressed disappointment over a pregnancy, I could identify the abortion as the problem. Abortion is a sub-set of problems caused by problem pregnancy.
