Mississippi abortion clinic owner: “God wants me to do this job”
“I feel like God wants me to do this job,” said [Mississippi abortion clinic owner Diane] Derzis, who has a raspy smoker’s voice and a penchant for brightly painted fingernails and chunky jewelry.
She started working as an abortion clinic counselor shortly after the first clinic opened in Alabama in the 1970s.
Derzis talks openly about the abortion she had when she was 20, newly married and in college. She said didn’t want children, and knew immediately she wanted to end the pregnancy. Derzis said her mother told her she’d regret it, but she hasn’t. She said she was about 12 weeks along when she had the procedure, and the doctor was gruff and disrespectful.
“I thank God every day I had that abortion,” said Derzis, who later divorced and doesn’t have children. “It was not a great experience, but you know what? I had a safe abortion. And that’s what counts.”

who has a raspy smoker’s voice and a penchant for brightly painted fingernails and chunky jewelry. – oh well, there’s grounds for condemning her to start with! :-)
No lady SATAN is ruling those thoughts in your head. Why was the abortionist rude to you? Was this a legal procedure? You said it was safe. If I had a rude dentist I couldnt tell you that I feel he was stable or safe. You are only helping women do what you did. Kill their children. Just as you are the mother of a dead 20 something year old child.
Oops correction…I thought it said she aborted 20 years ago…either way you are the mother of a dead baby.
If you asked me, such a statement is psychotic, no different than a serial killer running around wiping out people and telling others he’s helping his victims meet Jesus.
Imagine a woman, who having been raped, encouraged other women to undergo rape.
Further, imagine that same woman making money off the raping of other women. If she believes every woman should be raped because “it’s God’s work” and makes money from that, then not only is every rape justifiable, but also profitable, and regulated by the government for “safety”.
This woman is a rapist’s (statutory and otherwise) best friend, because for all practical purposes, she has made abortion an act of worship.
God, please free Diane Derzis from her captivity, open her eyes and replace her heart with one that is obedient to your command to truly love you and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Please release her from the prison of darkness.
The father of lies is ALL about the killing. Child sacrifice.
Heather,
She is a mother. She was a mother at conception and she still is a mother. Her precious baby is in heaven and waits for her.
Praying she repents and God leads her home one day to her child.
Yes Reality, nothing bothers prolifers more than clunky jewelry, if she stopped wearing it we might not think as badly of her career in tearing off the arms and legs of defenseless, innocent human beings.
Bad hair will drive people to do bad things.
wow… just wow.
We are forbidden to judge anyone. But when someone such as Dervis wears her dead and hardened heart on her sleeve like this, the temptation is overwhelming.
This is the enemy. We are commanded to love her and pray for her, and hope for her repentance and salvation. Put her on the list, next to Cece and Wendy.
Hi Chris,
She’s no more psychotic than the Japanese doctors, professors, and scientists who ran horrific “medical” experiments on Chinese citizens and American POWs in Japanese occupied China during WW2. The Nazi concentration camp “doctors” looked like rank amateurs by comparison.
These monsters shared one factor in common. They saw no evil in what they did. Their victims were subhuman and the horrendous experiments were to “better” mankind. Sound familiar?
Before we point a pious finger, it should be mentioned that the United States helped these Japanese monsters escape justice, in exchange for their information. They used live human subjects, which our scientists and government found more valuable than animal models. These monsters were to return to lives of respectability in their native Japan and die natural deaths.
You can see the full account of this on Youtube.
This reminds of that Midge we discussed a while ago who “prayed” for more abortions. This usage of God that we see pro-aborts engage in is not something new. They have been using this tactic for sometime. Is it working though, nope. People see through this desperation as people are smarter than pro-aborts realize.
I am going to take the advise and not read “reality’s” “comments.” :)
Please tell me where it states we are forbidden to judge anyone.

You are a wise man, Thomas R.

Pray for her; she’s in incredible danger, and she’s almost completely blind to the fact.
One side note: we Christians are forbidden to judge *persons*, in the sense of judging their culpability before God and the absolute state of their soul (i.e. no one can say with certainty that “person x is going to hell, if they die now”, and we are forbidden to make such judgments), but we ARE allowed… nay, we are commanded… to judge ACTIONS (i.e. whether something is morally wrong, or not). This deluded woman is practising a horrific evil, and she’s seeking to empower others to follow suit; that is certain. That evil is what we are to hate, while seeking to pray that she be freed from the jaws of the enemy.
That helps me see such people in a different light, actually: the image of such a person smilingly letting themselves be taken into the jaws of the enemy, and earnestly spreading their ideas while the enemy’s razor-sharp jaws sink deep and draw copious blood… and while faithful Christians beg her to stop, to leave the enemy, to let Jesus free her. She’s a prisoner… and she needs our help far more than do the 99 who have not strayed.

Ah Good Sir Paladin!!
I agree. :)
I shall pray for her today. That Jesus sets her free.
Yes Carla im aware but until she repents she is a servant of Satan.
Thanks JDC – you were wise much longer before I arrived at this conclusion though. I am way behind the curve on this one. :)
She aborted just as I did.
Just pointing out that neither one of us is the mother of a dead baby.
Lord have mercy! What a hardened heart. :(
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
Proverbs 16:25
Her mother is right, she will regret her abortion.
If not in this life, certainly in the next.
I judge people all the time. I’m a MOTHER.
Absolutely, Carla. God gave us intellect and wisdom to make judgment decisions.
We don’t condemn–that is for God and God alone.
Prayers for her to remove the darkness and hardness of heart.
Hugs to ya, Carla!
The act of murder is unlawfully taking a human beings life, an embryo and fetus are developing human beings, and as such it is legalized murder to have an abortion. Females are biologically designed to birth life. However, the United States has also given pregnant women the sole choice to legally take that life. Therefore, the United States have given pregnant women power that is over and beyond what is given to the rest of society. From conception, humans develop continuously inside as well as outside of the womb. Once a child is born he or she is recognized as a person, and becomes legally protected from harm. Although, that does not mean harm will never befall on the child, but it does mean that the aggressor would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. However, as the law states now the developing human in utero is not a person and is deemed acceptable to either carry to term or to terminate. Stages of development should not be the deciding factor of taking a life.
If she didnt want her baby perhaps someone else would have.
Why is adoption so rarely considered?
What a complete DITZ.
It’s a good thing she never was pregnant after that.
She wouldn’t have appreciated them.
Why is there choice when a woman who bears children gets to see her children defend the USA – defending, and perhaps dying for people who have aborted their own children?
Profoundly unjust.
This is so heartbreaking to me. :(
“I had a safe abortion. And that’s what counts.” Maybe she had a safe abortion, but that is not necessarily what she’s given her customers. Let’s not forget that this woman did not operate a top notch abortion chain. Her facilities failed inspections after being cited for multiple deficiencies. She vows to keep her shop open even when it means running afoul of the law. Which god is she paying homage to? The almighty dollar would be my guess.
I could care less what she wears. You could dress like Cindy Crawford but if your heart is in the wrong place then we will pray for your conversion. Until then we know which master you serve. Tell me if this woman (heaven forbid) were killed in a car accident on her way home from work where would she spend eternity.
I do pray she repents before she dies.
She will be accountable for all that she has done.
We all will.
