Heart Hitting Comments Women Made After Watching 1st Degree Morgentaler

Wow! Amazing job!! I wish I found out about this sooner
to give you more votes!! I also had a similar experience
Vicky had except it was in a hospital not a clinic. On
the day of the abortion I too changed my mind and tried
to express my choice but was not listened to and just
pushed through the abortion. I woke up out of the
anesthetic screaming "I just want to be a mom." Henry's
tagline "Every woman a willing mother and every child a
wanted child" was his mission statement to pioneer the
pro-choice movement. When it came down to it both Vicky,
myself and other women became willing mother's and our
children were wanted, but the doctor's/nurses and medical
system did not allow for that choice. Seriously John...
way to capture the truth of our experience!!

OmG .......I posted a comment to you on youtube , saying that I cried while this woman described her abortion ..I cried because she was telling MY story exactly. I too was suprised that it was HE that did the procedure I also remember him telling ME that is was not a baby .And I remember when he walked to my right to EXAMINE the contents . I remember him telling me that I was 8 weeks.


I was so angry when listening to Morgentaler say that he provided counc. before hand .In my case I was 17 years old I was alone .No one knew I was so afraid and was crying the counc. told me that I was 'BRAVE" for making this decision on my own and not making those around me worry or feel sad. I remember being horrified that when it was over there was something to examine.....I said 'what do you see ' you told me it is not a baby ! and then I demanded to look for myself......I will never forget

And now as a mother of 4 I cannot help but to feel such a sense of guilt and shame. The reality is that I made a choice to kill what was to be my first born child . I am so so sorry everyday for what I did that day. There are times when I look at my kids and the memories come back and I am filled with self disgust . I really wonder how there can be no laws that MAKE minors ( under 18 ) have parental consent OR have at least 1 counc.session from a 3rd party.

There really is no way to dull the sickening feeling with which I am left.

A girl who spoke out at the Memorial that was held at the
Supreme Court to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the
Moregentaler decision also had a similar story as Vicky
and CinLyn. She too changed her mind after having
entered the hospital but prior to the abortion's
commencement. She too tried to let the staff know but
was ignored and put under anyways. I have her contact
info and got her on video too. Seems that too often a
woman's choice is only respected if it's the one that
will be most profitable to the clinic and staff.
