Dialation and Evacuation abortion amounts to being "drawn and quartered"
Thanks to Father Frank Pavone for this clip showing the Dialation and Evacuation abortion procedure (D&E). Pavone says "If we're going to talk about abortion in this country, let's make sure we know what we're talking about, and let's work to bring it to an end."
This is just a sampling of the dark underworld that happens in the name of "health care for women" at Planned Parenthood. When you watch this, remember that this is done without any anesthesia (for the baby) - and that pre-born babies feel pain at eight weeks. If you can watch this and still support abortion as a form a birth control, your heart is hard and your conscience is seared. Perhaps you need to see all this more graphically. If any of this breaks your heart, repent for being callous to the plight of the unborn and join the efforts in South Dakota to stop abortion from being used as a form of birth control. If this hits home because you had a D&E abortion, contact me and I'll connect you with others who have found forgiveness and healing. Your baby's death isn't in vain if you let God use your testimony to end this in America.
A comment on a "clergyman" illustrating and weighing in on a "medical" procedure… if we separate religion from medicine, we separate ethics from medicine. If you want to know what that looks like tour the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC and get briefed on Nazi Medicine. Who are we kidding, there is nothing "medical" about a D&E procedure on a healthy living baby. It's as barbaric when people were drawn and quartered in Medieval Days.

Steve: Your blog today reminded me of an article I read last week about the Nazi's euthanasia program, a portion noted here. I believe that the "war of words" we are about to embark on with the pro-death camp here in South Dakota will sound eerily familiar to anyone who has previously read this article from the US Holocaust Museum http://www.ushmm.org/education/resource/handic/handicapped.php
The last paragraph is the most chilling - and seems to be relevant to what is occurring in the US with ACOG, the American College of Ob/GYN - ironically those trained to deliver babies and take care of women are on the front lines of killing babies and harming women.
"EUTHANASIA" KILLINGS
Forced sterilization in Germany was the forerunner of the systematic killing of the mentally ill and the handicapped. In October 1939, Hitler himself initiated a decree which empowered physicians to grant a "mercy death" to "patients considered incurable according to the best available human judgment of their state of health." The intent of the socalled "euthanasia" program, however, was not to relieve the suffering of the chronically ill. The Nazi regime used the term as a euphemism: its aim was to exterminate the mentally ill and the handicapped, thus "cleansing" the "Aryan" race of persons considered genetically defective and a financial burden to society.
The idea of killing the incurably ill was posed well before 1939. In the 1920s, debate on this issue centered on a book coauthored by Alfred Hoche, a noted psychiatrist, and Karl Binding, a prominent scholar of criminal law. They argued that economic savings justified the killing of "useless lives" ("idiots" and "congenitally crippled"). Economic deprivation during World War I provided the context for this idea. During the war, patients in asylums had ranked low on the list for rationing of food and medical supplies, and as a result, many died from starvation or disease. More generally, the war undermined the value attached to individual life and, combined with Germany's humiliating defeat, led many nationalists to consider ways to regenerate the nation as a whole at the expense of individual rights.
In 1935 Hitler stated privately that "in the event of war, [he] would take up the question of euthanasia and enforce it" because "such a problem would be more easily solved" during wartime. War would provide both a cover for killing and a pretext–hospital beds and medical personnel would be freed up for the war effort. The upheaval of war and the diminished value of human life during wartime would also, Hitler believed, mute expected opposition. To make the connection to the war explicit, Hitler's decree was backdated to September 1, 1939, the day Germany invaded Poland.
Fearful of public reaction, the Nazi regime never proposed a formal "euthanasia" law. Unlike the forced sterilizations, the killing of patients in mental asylums and other institutions was carried out in secrecy. The code name was "Operation T4," a reference to Tiergartenstrasse 4, the address of the Berlin Chancellery offices where the program was headquartered.
Physicians, the most highly Nazified professional group in Germany, were key to the success of "T-4," since they organized and carried out nearly, all aspects of the operation.

how dare you! there are valid reasons such procedures are used. Do you truly think the mother of a failed pregnancy given time for the evacuation to occur and it does not appreciates such videos as this

Linda - thank you for helping me make my point. This is SO horrid even to consider on a no longer living baby. Imagine the horror to think that babies aborted this way are dismembered alive, without anesthesia. And they feel pain at 8 weeks.
Keeping this in the dark won't stop it. It must be seen by the world. That's how come I dare to put this kind of thing up for all to see.

Hi Tomorrow I am having this procedure done because My baby was found to have died during a routine office visit. You are making it seem this is a horrid thing and aren't even considering the fact that there are reasons and good reasons this procedure is done. I would rather have my baby still alive in my body but God had a different plan for me and does having this procedure make me a bad person? I think not.
Steve @ 5:21 pm
Jodi - I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage but this post is about how this procedure is done on LIVING children.
