Professional Abortion Providers for Obama-Biden

Abortion Rights 101 - a Primer for Politicians and Everyone Else

As an abortion provider (MD) I performed an early first trimester abortion on a college senior some years ago. She had been seen a number of times among protestors at my clinic, and prior to her procedure she had told a clinic counselor that she was the president of her campus "pro-life" organization. Think about that. That must mean that she was one of their most committed and hardest agitators against legal and safe professional abortion care for several years, but when she got pregnant herself, she was in the clinic having an abortion within a week of her positive pregnancy test.

After I completed her abortion, I matter-of-factly asked her what she was now going to do about her affiliation with that anti-choice club. Startled, she gasped, sat abruptly upright on the operating table, and with horrified expression blurted out in a tremulous voice, . . .

Mercy Abortions: The truth about late abortion

Fewer than 2200/year or 0.2% of the 1.3 million abortions performed yearly are past 24 weeks. But, the anti-abortion propagandists have successfully maligned procedures at this stage of pregnancy by calling them "Partial Birth Abortions" (not a medical term, but a political one). Even pro-choice Democrats don't understand the reality of late abortion.

I call abortions past 24 weeks Mercy Abortions...and I'll tell you why.

For 14 years, I worked at Midtown Hospital in Atlanta, a woman's hospital specializing in late abortion. The hospital opened in 1977 because at that time, Georgia law mandated that an abortion past 12 weeks had to be performed in a hospital. Abortion had just been made legal in 1973 and it became the first procedure to be widely performed on an outpatient basis.

40 Million Votes

To reiterate. They are women who've had abortions. Who and where are the women who've had abortions? I'm one. Look around you. There is definitely a woman within earshot of you right now that's had an abortion. But, you say, there's no "slutty" looking women around me now. I'm at work. Or, I'm in church. Or, I'm at the gym.

We're there though. You can't avoid us. And to you politicians and candidates paying attention out there. Women who've had abortions are on your staff. They are relatives. They are friends, relatives, co-workers, volunteers, Republicans, Democrats, etc. Women who've had abortions are everywhere.

Yup. 40 million votes. They're laying on the table. Who wants them? And who are these 40 million votes?

Women who've had abortions, that's who.

These numbers could mean victory for Obama-Biden in the upcoming Presidential election. And these 40 million women already voted pro-choice. They voted with their feet by walking into a clinic.

40 million votes.

The estimates of the Evangelical Christians that supposedly won the 2004 election for George Bush are only 20 million.
