Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

So, I came upon this post on the DVD, "After Tiller," this morning about late term abortionist George Tiller.

I don't condone the murder of Tiller or any violence, but I find it hard to understand how anyone could think he was a hero. Why? Because he was willing to kill late term unborn children? There is nothing heroic about that.

The post I read describes it this way, "A powerful and inspirational documentary filmed with a calm focus through beautiful and reflective moments. Directed and produced by Martha Shane and Lana Wilson." It also includes quotes from other late term abortionists, like Carhart and Hern.

I actually was brought to tears reading this because what I know of Tiller is anything but "beautiful and reflective."  I have seen Tiller's work. I have worked with couples who were sent to him because of an adverse prenatal diagnosis, and have seen pictures he took of them with their babies dressed up, after he had killed them, as if all was well.

I have heard the despair and agony of parents who, when they thawed out after giving in to the pressure to abort because their child was less than what society considers perfect, were devasated that they had given in.

I won't watch this film, I do not need to. I have seen the truth of what Tiller did firsthand, but I can bet they did not interview patients whose lives he destroyed in this film, so I will put a few quotes from them here:

"I have no doubt that those two doctors who sent me to Kansas felt they were doing what was best.  Only now I know it was the exact opposite.  The devil often masks things to appear right when it really is just a distortion.  While I was in Kansas I came in contact with evil.  Everything about the clinic was deceptive.  The pictures they take and the way they try so hard to make what you’re doing seem like your losing your baby naturally.  But there is nothing natural or normal going on behind those walls.  I allowed (and paid!) someone to kill my baby in my womb, the safest place a person can find herself." D

"On November 15 of 2001, I aborted my daughter because we were told she had severe mental and physical deformities and was not going to have good “quality of life”- whatever that means.  My baby was full term when she was killed. After the abortion, she was actually given to us to see and hold. She was just a baby, not the monster they said she would be. A baby we wanted and loved immeasurably.  However, this love was twisted by evil, and we were convinced by doctors and others we trusted that the best thing to do for her was to terminate her life.  Even as I write that, it seems at odds with common sense.  We needed to end her life so she wouldn’t have a bad life? It makes absolutely no sense to me right now, but at the time we were compromised and easily led astray. What a waste."

"There are only a handful of doctors willing to perform abortions that late in pregnancy.  In addition, from a legal standpoint, there is supposed to be a valid reason for aborting a baby at 36 weeks, and fetal anomaly isn’t one of them. The catch phrase for an abortion this late in pregnancy is “health of the mother.” What most people do not realize is that this includes mental health, so if a mom says she is depressed or stressed, she is free to abort.  Thinking back, I never felt my health, mental or physical, was in jeopardy.  Moreover, I would venture to say that my mental health was essentially threatened after the abortion. Talk about irony!"

I'd bet the movie also does not mention the women who have died at the hands of these abortionists.

They may think these doctors are heroes because they are seen to choose to risk their lives in order to kill other lives while making lots of money, but they are no heroes in my book or in the lives of many who have gone to them. As they continue to try to make the abornormal normal, may we continue to speak the truth of what they do so that legally we can put an end to the horror of late term abortion.
