5 eye-opening statements from late-term abortionists

As pro-lifers know, abortion is always an act of violence. It kills an innocent child and leaves a mother, father, and others tormented by grief and guilt. Most abortionists and abortion defenders would argue that this is untrue.

However, from time to time, late-term abortionists, those who kill the most viable of unborn humans, let some truth slip through their lips when they speak about abortion. It’s shocking, eye-opening, and sickening all at once. But we have to listen, because it’s the only way to show the world exactly what abortion is from those who make a living off it.

“It is hard to describe how it feels to pull out parts of a baby, to see arms, and bits of leg, and finally the head. […] Given the nature of this experience, it greatly concerns me how lightly some of these decisions are made.” –Dr. Vincent Argent, British abortionist in an interview with The Telegraph

“The fetuses are alive at the time of delivery. [There is a heartbeat] very frequently.” –Dr. LeRoy Carhart, late-term abortionist discussing babies born alive after an abortion

“We would attack the lower part of the lower extremity first, remove, you know, possibly a foot, then the lower leg at the knee and then finally we get to the hip.” –Dr. Martin Haskell, abortionist, in sworn testimony given in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin

“It’s like putting meat in a Crock-Pot, OK? It doesn’t get – it doesn’t get broke – it gets softer.” –Dr. LeRoy Carhart, late-term abortionist, when asked about the process of delivering a stillborn baby three days after injecting it with poison

“You look at the ultrasounds and there’s a fetus with a heartbeat and then after the procedure, there’s the fetus, usually in pieces, in a dish. It was alive one moment and it’s not the next.” –Camille Peri, “Birth Doctor, Mother, Abortionist,” Salon Magazine

Each of these statements speaks to the brutality of abortion and, for the most part, a lack of compassion or concern about just how horrific abortion procedures are. It’s hard to turn a blind eye to the realities of abortion, when the very people who perform them describe them with such inhumane honesty.
