That article was... wrong. There are no words to describe how messed up that doctor is. He talks about his "kill count" like it's something worth bragging about. His patient acts as though an abortion was just a routine medical procedure, like getting a mole removed. Pathetic.
Quote:Harrison glances at an ultrasound screen frozen with an image of the fetus taken moments before. Against the fuzzy black-and-white screen, he sees the curve of a head, the bend of an elbow, the ball of a fist.
How could he be okay with that? How could anyone
possibly be okay with that? What kind of sadistic social upbringing could allow a person to look at a living baby one minute, then suck them through a vacuum the next? WTF?
Quote:"You may feel some cramping while we suction everything out," Harrison tells the patient. A moment later, he says: "You're going to hear a sucking sound."
How anybody could say that without becoming violently ill is beyond me. Even reading it turns my stomach.
Quote:When he's done, Harrison performs another ultrasound. The screen this time is blank but for the contours of the uterus. "We've gotten everything out of there," he says.
If that doesn't bring the issue home, nothing will. It's there one moment, gone the next. It's right there in black and white. How could you go to work knowing that one of your job duties would be to look around some stranger's womb for floating pieces of human flesh? That is wrong on
so many different levels.
Quote:She is not yet sure, she says, how she is doing emotionally.
I wonder if Dr. Harrison was kind enough to mention the emotional trauma that she's going to be facing for the rest of her life? I wonder if he told her about the clinical depression she's almost guaranteed to face? I bet not.
Quote:"There's things wrong with abortion," she says. "But I want to have a good life."
That's the entire matter right there. She wants a good life, and she's willing to sacrifice her child to get it. She screwed up, and now her unborn child has paid for it by being poisoned and sucked out of the uterus by a vacuum. Every single day of her "good life" is going to be overshadowed by the decision she made.
Pathetic. She was so worried about avoiding the embarrassment of telling her parents and having to put off college that she murdered her child instead. What does that say about her priorities? Good life, indeed.
20,000 abortions? That's the entire population of Three Rivers nearly twice over. You can
have your good life.
I'd keep going, but this crap is just too upsetting to read.
