Washington,
DC (LifeNews.com) — Today is National Day of Appreciation of
Abortion Providers, the annual celebration by pro-abortion activists
of abortion practitioners. Groups like Planned Parenthood and the
ACLU sent their members messages today honoring abortion practitioners
but they ignored how they have killed and injured women.

ACLU
officials released a statement saying one quote from an unnamed abortion
practitioner "sums it all up."

"We
are just trying to do what Dr. Tiller would want us to do: help women,"
the abortion "doctor" said.

"Without
their courage, commitment, and skill, the legal right to abortion
in this country would be meaningless. So in addition to thanking abortion
providers today, we should thank them every day," the ACLU said.

But
the statement ignores a plethora of problematic abortionists who not
only kill unborn children in abortions but kill and injure women as
well.

Just
this year, several had made the news because of their illegal or unethical
activities.

Last
month, Pennsylvania abortion practitioner Kermit
Gosnell was investigated for killing a woman in a botched abortion
last November. Massive amounts of drugs found in the victim's system
led authorities to suspect Gosnell was illegally prescribing pain-killers.

Local
officials found dozens of apparently late-term unborn children who
were killed in abortions as long as 30 years ago when they investigated
his center.

Gosnell
has a long history
of killing and injuring women

In
February, Alberto
Hodari temporarily closed his abortion center in Livonia, Michigan.

He
is the abortion business owner who has been disciplined by the state,
faces multiple lawsuits, and has killed at least three women in botched
abortions. Hodari is
facing yet another lawsuit related to a woman who suffered a botched
abortion at one of his Detroit-area abortion centers. It sues Hodari
for negligence and incompetence.

Caitlin
Bruce, a 20-year-old woman, says Hodari and a staffer held her down
and completed an abortion on her even though she changed her mind
while on the table and voiced her objections.

Also
last month, Florida abortion practitioner James
Pendergraft faced more problems with the state medical board. more here: http://www.lifenews.com/nat6101.html
