Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

Interesting article on two doctors from South Korea who performed abortions and admit not only what it does to the babies but that “Abortion was an easy way to make money.” Something we have been trying to bring forth for years. There is big money in abortion.

SEOUL — Displaying images of fetuses on her computer screen, Dr.
Choi Anna described what happens to them during an abortion. For years,
she said, she washed her hands in contrition after each one she
performed.

Her colleague, Dr. Shim Sang-duk, said that,
until it halted the practice in September, their Ion Women’s Clinic in
Seoul did 30 abortions a month, twice the number of babies delivered
there. Nearly all were illegal.

“We sold our soul for money,” said Dr. Choi. “Abortion was an easy way to make money.”

In
a country where abortion is both widespread and, with few exceptions,
against the law, Dr. Choi and Dr. Shim are hoping to force South
Korea’s first serious public discussion of the ethics of the procedure.
In November, they and dozens of other obstetricians held a news
conference to ask “forgiveness” for having performed illegal abortions.

The
group they formed, Gynob, has called on other doctors to declare
whether they have performed illegal abortions. In December they set up
another organization, Pro-Life Doctors, which tries to discourage women
from having abortions and runs a hot line to report clinics that
perform them illegally. This month, they plan to begin reporting
practitioners of such abortions to the police.

While Gynob’s
primary tactic has been to highlight the hypocrisy of having a law that
is almost never enforced, the group’s goal is not to resolve this by
liberalizing the law but to end abortions altogether.
