ABORTION: This isn't just a women's issue

I was appalled to see the Planned Parenthood issue of selling aborted fetuses body parts. As if abortion itself is not is not bad enough.

When I was in paramedic training, we spent time in several hospital departments, surgery being one of them. I had the sickening experience of witnessing an abortion. To see the little body parts being suctioned into the recovering container was overwhelming to me.

During my paramedic service I saw every way people can kill each other and themselves and trauma of every sort. Abortion is the worst I have seen.

Since Roe v. Wade in 1972, there have been more than 56 million abortions in this country. We still anguish over what the Nazis did to 6 million Jews.

Read what happens in a partial birth abortion; it will make you nauseated. These are human beings we are legally killing.

What has happened to this country? This is not a women’s health issue; it is irresponsible behavior. This is not a form of birth control. Just because they are not out of the womb doesn’t make it right to end this life.
