Abortionist Admits Abortions Kill Babies: “We are the Executioners”

Pro-choice author Magda Denes, Ph.D., interviewed abortionists and clinic workers for her book In Necessity and Sorrow, Life and Death Inside an Abortion Hospital. Surprisingly, many of the abortionists she interviewed admitted that they were terminating life. Some even used the term “murder.”

Killing One Baby, Delivering Another

One abortionist made it very clear that he knew he was killing. He speaks first about how strange it was to be delivering babies and helping them survive while at the same time killing preborn babies of the same age elsewhere through abortion:

You have to become a bit schizophrenic. In one room you encourage the patient that the slight irregularity of the fetal heart is not important – that she is going to have a fine, healthy baby.

Then in the next room you assure another woman on whom you just did a saline abortion, that it’s good that the heart is already irregular… She has nothing to worry about, she is not going to have a live baby.

Working Up to Late-Term Abortions

The abortionist then describes how doing late-term abortions was easier for him because he started doing earlier abortions and “worked his way up” to the later ones.

Because he was used to killing younger children, he was able to desensitize himself, which helped him progress to killing older children. These older babies actively reacted to his attempts to kill them.

At the beginning we were doing abortions on smaller fetuses… And the kicking and heartbeat did not manifest itself as much.

I think if I had started with 24 weekers right off the bat, I would’ve had a much greater conflict in my own mind if this was the same as murder or not.

But since we started off slowly with 15-16 weekers, the fetus just never got consideration. Then gradually, the whole range of cases started to become larger.

All of a sudden, one noticed that at the time of the saline infusion, there was a lot of activity in the uterus. It wasn’t fluid currents. It was obviously the fetus being distressed by swallowing the salt solution and kicking violently through the death trauma.

You can either face it or turn around and say it’s uterine contractions. That, however, would be repressing, since as a doctor you obviously know that it is not.

Hiding the Truth from Pregnant People

He is speaking about saline abortions, an abortion method that was frequently used in the 1970s and ’80s but is no longer used now due in part to the large numbers of babies who were born alive, including Melissa Ohden.

In this type of abortion, the abortionist injects a toxic saline solution into the mother’s womb, which slowly poisons and kills the child. It can take hours for the baby to die.

The abortionist says he never tells the person having the abortion that their babies are struggling for their lives:

Now whether you admit this to the patient is another matter. Her distress by unwanted pregnancy is to be the primary consideration, ahead of any possible consideration for the fetus.

“We are the Executioners”

Then he makes the big admission:

We just have to face it. Somebody has to do it. Unfortunately, we are the executioners in this instance.

This abortionist compares himself to a person who kills convicted criminals. He casts himself as an executioner to justify his actions.

In making the comparison, the abortionist is saying that yes, he is killing, but the killing is acceptable. In our society, we don’t view those who execute criminals as murderers.  It is, we say, justifiable killing. But it is definitely killing. And, this abortionist admits, so is abortion.

In this case, the death penalty has given an abortion doctor an excuse, a rationalization that makes it easier for him to end preborn human lives.
