Former
Abortionist: ‘We Have Shifted Our Priorities from Basic Human Rights to Women’s
Rights’
by Dr. Susan Berry 1 Nov 2017
A former
abortionist turned pro-life advocate told a House subcommittee that American
young women have been conditioned to believe nothing should interfere with
their right to control their reproductive organs.
During a hearing Wednesday
of the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil
Justice for what has become known as the “fetal heartbeat bill,” Dr. Kathi
Aultman, associate scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, told members of
Congress, “We have shifted our priorities from basic human rights to women’s rights and
have taught our young women that nothing should interfere with her right to do
what they want with their bodies especially when it comes to pregnancy.”
Aultman – who had an abortion herself and has performed
both first and second trimester abortions – said when she entered medical
school she, too, believed access to abortion was a women’s rights issue. During
special training in second trimester abortions, Aultman said she learned how to
crush the fetus and remove the pieces of its body.
“I realize it is hard to imagine someone being able to do
that and be so detached but because of my training and conditioning a human
fetus seemed no different from the chick embryos I dissected in college,” she
explained. “I could view them with strictly scientific interest devoid of any
of the emotions with which I would normally view a baby. I wasn’t heartless, I
just had been trained to compartmentalize these things.”
Aultman said, ultimately, she came to terms with the fact
that, in performing abortions, she had become a “mass murderer,” because in
every abortion, one of the live persons is killed.
The OB/GYN further
explained that she came to encounter in her practice women who had been
successful after deciding to have an unplanned baby – even more so than women
who had abortions.
“That wasn’t what I was expecting,” Aultman testified. “I
don’t believe women can remain unscathed after killing their child. At some
point, usually after childbirth or the inability to get pregnant, the
realization of what they did hits them.”
She said the narrative that women cannot achieve success
in life if they do not have unrestricted access to abortion on demand has
convinced young women that an “unwanted pregnancy is the worst thing that can
happen to them and that their right to reproductive freedom is more important
than their baby’s right to life.”
Rep. Steve King (R-IA), chairman of the subcommittee, introduced H.R.
490, the Heartbeat Protection Act of 2017, which would restore legal protection
to unborn babies once their heartbeat is detected.
“The core tenet is this: If a heartbeat can be detected,
the baby is protected,” King says about the measure.
In a column at Breitbart News, King writes that in the
Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson “articulated fundamental truths”
for the founding of the nation, including “rights to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness.”
King says, however, that “judicial activism” has upended
the nation’s “self-evident truths,” particularly in the area of abortion:
To this end, I have introduced H.R. 490, the Heartbeat
Protection Act. H.R. 490 cuts through the obscuring haze of illogical judicial
rhetoric and returns the right to life to the primacy our Founding Fathers
intended. Under this legislation, abortionists who end the life of an unborn
child whose heart is beating will be subject to imprisonment and/or a
significant financial penalty. As a matter of law, the bill will ensure that if
a heartbeat can be detected, the baby is protected.
King says 170 members of Congress have signed onto the
Heartbeat Protection Act.
“Congress should follow the lead of Thomas Jefferson and
take this opportunity to declare its own independence from a deadly edict
issued by judicial tyrants in Roe v. Wade,” the congressman writes.
“Congress can do so by passing the Heartbeat Protection Act immediately and
sending it to President Trump for his signature.”
2017 Women's March
The Women's March[11][12][13][a] was a
worldwide protest on January 21, 2017, to advocate legislation and policies
regarding human
rights and other issues, including women's rights,
immigration reform, healthcare reform, reproductive rights, the natural environment, LGBTQ rights,
racial equality, freedom of religion,[17] and workers' rights.
Most of the rallies were aimed at Donald Trump,
immediately following his inauguration as President of the United States, largely due to
statements that he had made and positions that he had taken which were regarded
by many as anti-women or
otherwise offensive.[11][18] It was
the largest single-day protest in U.S. history.
