The following are known as 'death camps' instruments'.



"Cannula

This is simply a hollow plastic tube that is attached to a suction machine by a flexible hose. In early-term abortions it is used to kill and dismember the baby, and then suck it out of the mother's uterus. In later abortions where other techniques are used to kill and dismember the baby, the cannula/suction machine is used to vacuum out the uterus and make certain that no parts of the baby are left behind."



"Curette

This is a metal rod with a handle on one end and a sharp loop on the other. It is used to scrape along the wall of the mother's uterus and dislodge her child."



"Forceps

This is a metal instrument that resembles a pair of scissors but functions like a pair of pliers. They come in several different styles but regardless of design they are used to grasp, pull apart, and/or remove the baby.

Forceps are especially useful in collapsing the skull and making it easier to pull the skull through the mother's cervix."



"Syringe with Spinal Needle

This is a large capacity syringe with a long needle attached. In some abortion procedures it is used to drain off amniotic fluid from the mother's uterus and replace it with either a saline or urea solution. However, its more common use is for injecting chemical agents (digoxin, potassium chloride, etc.) into the heart of the baby.

In both instances, these chemicals serve two purposes. First, their use greatly reduces the chance that the baby might be born alive. And second, these chemicals soften the child's corpse and make it easier to rip apart and/or remove."

Visual Learning and the Culture of Life

By Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate, Priests for Life

and niece of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

A picture is worth a thousand words.”


Our learning experiences in life shape our understanding and our methods of communicating with and relating to others in our world. As a post-abortive mother, who has spent over 20 years as an educator, with many of those years as a teacher, I find it natural to consider learning styles when seeking more effective ways to share the pro-life message. Learning styles are an integral part of working to share the “culture of life” in every community. Because I am an African-American woman, I am especially interested in reaching the people of my communities.

It has been said that African-Americans have a particular learning style that causes them to be global learners in that they want to see the big picture and not necessarily all the small details. They also tend to be better writers than speakers because they excel in non-verbal communication. In addition, they tend to use approximations frequently and focus better on a person rather than an inanimate object (Wilson, 2004). One of the characteristics of our African-American culture is an emphasis on visual learning. We are particularly impacted by visual imagery.

For many years, I have been an outspoken advocate for the unborn child, because in a culture of abortion, the child is like a slave. The new civil rights movement of our time is the pro-life movement, and as I seek to preserve the dream of my uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and of my father, Rev. A.D. King (Martin’s brother), I ask the question, “How can the dream survive if we murder the children?” I grew up seeing these two great men fight for the equal rights of their people. . . .

Breaking: Supreme Court Rules on Partial Birth Abortion

The 5-4 ruling said the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act that Congress passed and President Bush signed into law in 2003 does not violate a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.

... the procedure is set into motion. I feel someone grabbing at my legs with forceps. It is not time for me to enter this world. I can her their voices. I can just make out my mother's voice. I scream in my world, I am not ready. Nevertheless, I am pulled into the birth canal. I am delivered down to my head. What has happened? Why did they stop? Something is piercing the base of my skull. The pain is too much for me to bare. I scream and move to avoid the piercing, however; I am held in place. The person holding me is puncturing my skull, and opening the hole by opening the scissors. The scissors are removed. By this time I am losing blood and consciousness, I can barely feel the insertion of the suction catheter. As my brains are sucked out my last thoughts are .... more

REsPECTFULLY - Horrific pictures of aborted babies:

Maine Statehouse is considering today to increase funds for Abortions. Please say a prayer that the ones presenting this increase will become confused in their presentations. Please pray to save our babies.

Witness To Truth Posters show aborted babies. Today, along with several others I will be holding posters showing what has been legalized in the United States of America separating God from our human values. Please pray for our protection.

"What is an MVA and WHY should I care?

This is the device used by abortionists for manual vacuum aspiration. Fully extended with the cannula attached, the entire apparatus measures roughly 25 inches in length. The abortion industry is pushing this monstrous device because of its relative portability and ease of operation, which enables minimally trained clinicians in impoverished areas to perform abortions by the hundreds...

You see, Planned Parenthood commissioned the invention of an “ improved” version of a hideous abortion device called the “manual vacuum aspirator” (MVA). MVAs tear and suck babies out of the womb, but MVAs are operated manually. And to make it worse, MVAs are portable, so it’s easier to kill more babies!

But the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) “approved” Planned Parenthood’s “improved” death device without the usually-required years of studies. " link

Where is the outrage? Since 1973, R vs. W, 25% of America's black population has been wiped out by abortion. 80% of planned parent hood facilities are located in minority neighborhoods. Eugenics and abortion is accomplishing what the klan could only dream about.

It's not Klu Klux Klan lynchings but Margaret Sanger's Planed Parenthood and legalized abortion that have produced a black genocide in America.
In America today, almost as many African-American children
are aborted as are born.

A black baby is three times more likely to be
murdered in the womb than a white baby.

Twice as many African-Americans have died from abortion than have died from AIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer, and heart disease combined.

Every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion than have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history.

Planned Parenthood operates the nation's largest chain of abortion clinics and almost 80 percent of its facilities are located in minority neighborhoods.

About 13 percent of American women are black, but they submit to over 35 percent of the abortions.

Yes an abortion is an ugly procedure, there is no doubt about that. I have a question though, have you ever known someone who has actually had an abortion? Have you ever been with someone who has made that decision and stayed with them as they go to planned parenthood? I don't think you have.

If you do, plan to spend at least half your day because that's how long it's going to take you. All around you in the waiting room is literature telling you that there are other ways to deal with an unwanted pregnancy. When you're taken into a private room the first person to talk to you isn't a doctor, it's a counselor who restates everything that's in the pamphlets in the waiting room. Telling the mother that there are other things that one can do with an unwanted pregnancy, adoption being the primary. After hours of waiting in a sterile environment, then and only then is a physician brought in who repeats, again, that there are other things that can be done with an unwanted pregnancy.

You seem to frame planned parenthood as some kind of abortion fetus factory.

Yes abortions are ugly, that's why it's not called happy-dream-time. Maybe if you could take your head out of this right wing garbage that every abortion is done to spite god, you'd see that there are people who have to live with these kinds decisions for the rest of their lives.

And don't give me any of this clap trap that, 'oh they shouldn't have had sex in the first place,' that's a whole other argument that doesn't belong here.

It kills by the most painful methods it can dream up. The suctioning of little boys and girls body parts, the burning of little boys and girls with saline solution, or jabbing the base of little boys and girls in the base of the skull when they are just seconds away from complete delivery and than crushing their skulls to complete the delivery are actions that leaves one breathless. PAID BY YOU AND I WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Planned baron hood's methods make nazi Germany look like girl scouts. (BTW the feministra red brigade has done a huge destructive number on our girl scouts).


You giving a pass to this:

quote:
..During a two year investigation, Life Dynamics legally recorded over 800 calls to Planned Parenthood and NAF facilities in which the caller portrayed a 13-year-old who was pregnant by a 22-year-old and wanted an abortion in order to hide this relationship from her parents and the authorities. While many clinic workers can be heard on the tapes telling the caller that this situation was unlawful and that they were legally mandated to report it to the state, 91% of these facilities still agreed to illegally conceal it. So it's no wonder that abortion clinics are refusing to cooperate with law enforcement efforts to investigate child abuse. In Kansas, abortion clinic representatives have even gone so far as to state in published reports that they will not comply with the state's mandatory reporting laws...


"A LIFE DYNAMICS SPECIAL REPORT
Child Predators By Mark Crutcher

EXPOSING THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PLANNED PARENTHOOD,

THE NATIONAL ABORTION FEDERATION AND MEN WHO
SEXUALLY ABUSE UNDERAGE GIRLS link

CONSEQUENCES & CAUSES

When underage girls become sexually involved with adult men they are exposed to a devastating array of physical and emotional injuries. These illicit relationships set them up to be life-long victims who tend to view their self-worth solely in terms of sex.7

When compared to girls who are sexually active with boys near their own age, these girls are more likely to:

# have multiple sex partners8
# drop out of school9
# engage in dangerous sexual behaviors10
# become pregnant11
# run away from home
# be lured into prostitution12
# abuse drugs or alcohol13
# end up on welfare14
# be estranged from friends and family15
# be in physically abusive relationships16
# become divorced17

Other data shows that among sexually active girls between 11 and 13, those who are having sexual relationships with men more than five years older than themselves are significantly more likely to attempt suicide.18

Another consequence is that underage girls involved with adult men suffer from sexually transmitted diseases at a far higher rate than girls having sex with boys close to their own age. In fact, studies now show that the highest rate of sexually transmitted diseases in America is found among females ages 15 to 19, and that the overwhelming majority of these girls contracted these diseases from adult males.

You must be a man -

Teen girls are begging for men to come to their defense. Why won't they? I am not embarrassed to ask men to take their rightful place to defend women and children. That is their God given mandate. Don't you hear their cries???

We all need to get back to the fact that there are things to blush about and be ashamed of. We've ALL fallen short of the glory of God. That does not mean we are to lower the moral standards so that no one feels bad about wrong behavior. How low will anyone be willing to go to get to that point?

We have standards to LIVE UP to; and for our own happiness, protection and well being they are achievable standards given to us by the One who created us. These standards protect the dignity our our human nature. Why are you so eager beaver to accept less than human dignified behavior??

Yes, I have accompanied someone to planned parenthood. It was devastating. She was emotionally scared, not by what they did to her, but that she had to make this decision. She was more affected that her poor choices brought her there than tha
