Pro-Abortion Doctor Was “Horrified” After Seeing Aborted Baby’s Hand, Becomes Pro-Life
Some doctors may not know their stance on abortion, believing it to be a sterile procedure that rids a woman of her pregnancy. Some may not realize the gravity of the situation until they witness the abortions themselves.
Take Dr. Roxana Chapman, for example. An article by Live Action features Dr. Chapman’s story and her journey to the pro-life movement.
Chapman was an OB/GYN practicing in England before abortion was legal. She had no personal experience with abortion, and pro-abortion propaganda swayed her toward the mindset of supporting abortion.
In a book Chapman published, “Abortion: The Patient’s and the Doctor’s Dilemma,” she explained her experience (or lack thereof) with preborn children during medical school:
“We had, of course, studied embryology at medical school, but pictures in a textbook meant little when compared with the real-life drama of working in a dissecting room in the anatomy department, and I really had little idea of the incidence of criminal abortion, nor of the appearance of an early fetus.”
Like many people who are pro-abortion, she initially thought that barring a woman’s right to an abortion “would trample on the individual’s personal rights of freedom.”
“In those days, I thought that women only had terminations in cases of rape, incest, chronic and serious health conditions, or if made to have abortions by vicious and uncaring husbands. I thought the decision was a private matter between the woman and her doctor and the doctor always knew best…. I believed in a woman’s right to choose, and to have reproductive freedom.”
In the years since abortion was legalized in England, however, only 0.005 percent of abortions were performed to save the life of the mother or to prevent serious permanent injury to the physical or mental health of the mother, according to the report.
Despite this misinformation, Chapman only recognized what an abortion did when she was asked to examine a woman who had just had a D&C procedure. Used to treat various problems such as miscarriages, fibroids, polyps and uterine cancer, the procedure involves scraping the lining of a woman’s uterus and removing the tissue. When a woman is pregnant, however, a D&C aborts the unborn child.
“I carried out an internal examination and was shocked, indeed horrified, to feel a tiny baby’s hand in the vagina. ‘You were pregnant!’ I screamed. ‘No, I wasn’t,’ she replied. Her denial, and the duplicity of the doctor who admitted her for a ‘D&C’ stunned me. The scales fell from my eyes and I realized, for the first time, that abortion consisted of the dismembering of a living human being, and was not, as the media was pleased to say, the scraping out of a few cells and some blood.”
When Chapman saw the child’s hand, she said her life was changed forever. She became pro-life, refusing to perform abortions even when threatened with the loss of her job. She went on to write “Abortion: The Patient’s and the Doctor’s Dilemma” in 2007 and continues to work with women and discuss life-affirming options that do not involve aborting their own child.

Abortion Clinic That Killed This Woman in Botched Legal Abortion Injures at Least 20 More Women
|
When Diamond Williams died in 2016 from complications to an abortion she received at the Carolina Center for Women, (now known as A Women’s Choice of Charlotte), she certainly was not the first to have endured a medical emergency as a result of a botched abortion at that facility — and she also wasn’t the last.
Operation Rescue has obtained twenty Incident Reports from the Charlotte Fire Department related to 911 calls placed from the abortion facility, located at 421 N. Wendover Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. Even though the reports lack much detail, it is obvious that medical emergencies occur at A Women’s Choice of Charlotte on a regular basis. Fifteen of the emergency calls requested EMS services. They indicate that emergency medical services or other kinds of assistance were rendered. One of the reports indicated that there was a medical incident in the parking lot, but it was specified that it was not related to a vehicle accident. Five of the Incident Reports indicated that units were dispatched to the abortion business, but the request for assistance was cancelled en route. This appeared to related to a medical problem that a patient was experiencing at the abortion facility, but was somehow brought under control before the ambulance could arrive. While it is unknown how many of these incidents involved abortion-related medical issues, it is a good bet the most of them were. “It is fairly rare for a 911 call from an abortion facility to be related to something other than an abortion problem, although it does happen from time to time,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “With this many incidents, there odds are that the vast majority were related to abortion emergencies.” And such calls for emergency assistance at this particular abortion facility appear to be on the rise. For example, there was only one incident recorded in each of the years 2003, 2006, 2007, and 2009. In 2011-2012, the number of 911 calls jumped to three per year. The number of 911 calls increased to five in 2017, with three women actually receiving emergency medical care. The 2016 ambulance call for Diamond Williams is not reflected in the Incident Reports because it was placed by her family from their home. “We have to wonder how many other women have been hospitalized due to botched abortions that took place at A Women’s Choice of Charlotte that weren’t transported directly from the abortion facility,” said Newman. “It is clear that this facility had harmed women and continues to harm women who receive abortions there.” One abortionist known to work at A Women’s Choice of Charlotte is Jodell K. Allen, who has also been employed by Planned Parenthood in several states. Whether she was involved in William’s fatal abortion or any of the medical emergencies described in the Incident Reports is unknown. |
Universities Block Filming of New Movie Telling the Truth About Roe v. Wade
The producer of a new film that tells the truth about Roe v. Wade said universities are blocking their efforts to shoot footage on their campuses.
The film, which aims to tell the true story of the lies and manipulations used to push legalized abortion in America, is a project of actor/producer Nick Loeb and Cathy Allyn. Earlier this month, Loeb told the Hollywood Reporter they began shooting in June around New Orleans, including at Tulane University, as well as in Washington, D.C.
However, this week, Loeb told the College Fix that they came up against liberal biases when they tried to film at Tulane and Louisiana State University.
“When institutions, especially that are funded by the government, silence people, I think that’s atrocious,” Loeb said. “I don’t think … the government should be funding institutions that silence the people that they spend money on.”
Here’s more from the report:
Louisiana State University refused to let Loeb shoot on campus after reading the script, while his alma mater Tulane University blocked a second day of shooting after the community learned about it, he told The College Fix in a phone interview.
Their rejection of his production is indicative of greater speech issues surrounding discussion of abortion on college campuses, Loeb said, calling abortion “the most-lied about cause in our country today.”
The universities told The Fix they did not make decisions about the film based on its content.
LSU, however, did not object to the proposed filming date before it saw the script, according to an email chain provided by a university spokesperson. Tulane, which never asked for a script, started inventing excuses to block the second day of shooting, according to Loeb.
A spokesperson for Tulane told the news outlet: “A second day of shooting did not take place because the spaces requested for the shoot were already in use. This often happens when films request to shoot on campus.”
However, Loeb said he believes an article about the film in the college newspaper was what really brought about the change.
The film stars Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight, Robert Davi and Stacey Dash, as well as Greer Grammer, the daughter of pro-life actor Kelsey Grammer. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., also is an executive producer and has a cameo in the film.
Loeb told the Hollywood Reporter they are negotiating a distribution deal, and they hope to release the film in January.
The film will follow key advocates in the abortion fight in the 1970s, including former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson and Betty Friedan on the pro-abortion side and Dr. Mildred Jefferson, the first African American woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School, on the pro-life side.
“Bernard and Betty, along with the team at Planned Parenthood, search the country to find a pregnant girl they can use to sue the government for her right to have an abortion,” according to a description on the film website.
They find the “perfect pawn” in Norma McCorvey, the Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade. McCorvey later became pro-life and fought to overturn the infamous ruling that bears her name. She and others attested to her being mistreated and used by abortion activists to achieve their deadly agenda.
The film will examine the lies and manipulative tactics of abortion activists, people like McCorvey and Nathanson who later had a change of heart, and dedicated pro-life advocates like Jefferson who fought valiantly to defend the right to life for babies in the womb.
The film also will address the racism intertwined in the abortion industry through Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger and others, and Jefferson’s fight for unborn babies as well as people of color.

Planned Parenthood Kills More Blacks in 2 Weeks Than the KKK Killed in a Century
What is it about truth that sends people scrambling to their “safe” (dishonest) spaces? Online, in schools, in entertainment, in news media, there is such a visceral aversion to the truth. Even among fellow Christians, who claim that the truth sets us free, the resistance to inarguable facts is often met with misapplied defenses of grace and non-judgement.
One of my latest memes, to focus on #WorldPopulationDay, set off a firestorm among those who think that invoking history to illuminate its repeated present is “offensive”, “disgusting”, and “hurtful”.
While writing this article, we were censored by Deities of Diversity. Apparently, Instagram deleted our post, threatening to restrict or disable our account if we violate their guidelines again. But…we didn’t violate any guidelines. The explanation they included in the warning were about threatening violence. Of course the meme wasn’t threatening violence–it denounced racial violence, no matter the era. But Titans of Tolerance have no interest in the truth. They can delete our posts, and even our account, but they can’t delete the truth. And of course, there was no due process, no appeal process, no one to reach to correct this injustice. There was no option other than to click OK and the purge was complete. #Liberalism.
The meme juxtaposes the vile, racist and elitist worldview of those in white coats who unapologetically set out to control the population with the same racism that drove the murderous acts of a bunch of cowards in white sheets.
The online graphic reads: “We kill more black lives in 2 weeks than the KKK lynched in a century…Planned Parenthood: Eugenics. No Matter What.” The URL in the meme provides the context of how abortion has become the leading killer in the black community. And finally, an image of a noose appears above those words as an instrument of racial violence (which killed an estimated 3,446 African-Americans). Today, an estimated 247 black lives are killed every day by Planned Parenthood with forceps, chemicals and other devices.
Thousands liked and loved the meme on social media. It was even posted on Instagram by Bill Johnson—pastor of California megachurch, Bethel Church. I wish more pastors would stand firm in truth and love like he does. If churches actually talked openly about crucial social issues, we’d could better address the brokenness (that only God can heal) in our present.
Some were more offended by the image of a noose than the fact that those made in the image of God have been slaughtered by the millions.
Soooo…the meme is the problem, not the genocide. And yes, I used the word genocide. Fannie Lou Hamer did, too. Oh, and so did pre-pro-abortion Rev. Jesse Jackson.
What do you call it when more black babies are killed by abortion than are born alive? This is the grim reality in NYC where Planned Parenthood was spawned.
So, instead of exhibiting outrage over the shedding of innocent blood, protestors were outraged by relevant history being invoked (that’s regularly exploited by liberals who falsely compare today’s America with pre-Civil Rights America)
Supposedly, because I’m black, I’m allowed to say things people with lighter pigmentation can’t. For the love, we’re all just one human race (Acts 17:26). Since when is speaking truth relegated to one’s pigmentation?
There’s no justice without truth. Period.
Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, boasted about keynoting a Ku Klux Klan meeting on in her autobiography (pp. 366-367). And no, not everyone was a racist in 1938, nor was every political figure open to speaking to a terrorist organization like the KKK. But Sanger found it amusing to address a secret meeting with KKK members and bragged about getting a dozen offers to speak to similar groups.
Sanger’s Planned Parenthood and Birth Control Review boards were filled with eugenicists who proudly paraded their vile racism and elitism. One of those was Lothrop Stoddard, a eugenicist, klansman, Planned Parenthood Board member and a prolific writer whose words inspired the NAZIS. His 1921 book, The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy (as if you need any further explanation than the title), was a blueprint for racial hygiene theory employed with grotesque and incomprehensible effect during the Holocaust. Stoddard wrote (pg. 162): “The white race divides into three main sub-species the Nordics, the Alpines, and the Mediterraneans. All three are good stocks, ranking in genetic worth well above the various colored races. However, there seems to be no question that the Nordic is far and away the most valuable type; standing, indeed, at the head of the whole human genus. As Madison Grant well expresses it, the Nordic is ‘The Great Race.’” Madison Grant was the co-founder of the deeply racist American Eugenics Society (AES), and his book Passing of the Great Race was considered by Hitler to be his most valuable book.
Sanger was a member of the AES and was its most public figure. She led the crusade to, in her own words, “prevent the birth of defectives”.
Eugen Fischer, the NAZI scientist who conducted heinous experiments in 1906-1908 in Germany’s Shark Island holocaust to try to prove that blacks were inferior to whites, was an esteemed colleague of Sanger’s. She included him on her advisory council in her 1927 World Population Conference. Fischer’s work, Principles of Human Heredity and Race Hygiene, heavily influenced Hitler’s vile manifesto, Mein Kampf (My Struggle).
So, not only is an image of a noose appropriate when talking about the millions killed by Planned Parenthood, but a swastika would be, too.
If people want to be offended by anything, be offended by a worldview that denies that we’re all created equal and justifies the slaughter of the weakest among us.
Be offended that women are told by a billion-dollar abortion industry that they’re not stronger than their circumstances (Phil 4:13).
Be offended that religious leaders (here, here and here) are blessing abortion mills as “holy ground” and “sacred work”.
Be offended that the NAACP, begun to stop racial violence, staunchly supports the violence of abortion (and even sued us for calling them out).
Be offended that men can do nothing to stop their unborn child from being killed.
Be offended that half a billion of our tax-dollars annually support Planned Parenthood and its promotion of reckless sexual behavior (e.g., their vile new “Freedom to F*ck” campaign).
Be offended that pregnancy help centers (which care for mother, father and child—born and unborn) are maligned by pro-abortion activists and MSM instead of being fully and financially supported by churches across the country.
But don’t be offended because you simply don’t know what you don’t know.

Actor Nick Loeb Now Shooting New Roe v. Wade Movie: The Story of What Really Happened
Filming of the new movie “Roe v. Wade” is under way this summer.
The movie, which will tell the true story of the lies and manipulations used to push legalized abortion in America, is a project of actor/producer Nick Loeb and Cathy Allyn.
Loeb told the Hollywood Reporter they began shooting June 15 in and around New Orleans, including at Tulane University, as well as in Washington, D.C.
“… no one has really told the whole truth about Roe v. Wade in a film,” Loeb said. “When I delved into this, I discovered conspiracy theories, fake news, made-up statistics and a whole lot of people involved who switched their positions from pro-choice to pro-life, including Norma [McCorvey, the “Jane Roe” of Roe v. Wade].”
The film stars Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight, Robert Davi and Stacey Dash, as well as Greer Grammer, the daughter of pro-life actor Kelsey Grammer. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., also is an executive producer and has a cameo in the film.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the pro-abortion political bent in Hollywood, the production team has faced more than its share of hostility, and some people have walked off the set.
According to the report:
As Nick Loeb walked to his car with a production assistant during a day of shooting his upcoming feature film, Roe v. Wade, outside Tulane University last week, a woman wearing a headset approached and asked: “Are you the director?”
“When I told her I was, she told me to go f— myself,” Loeb recalls. “Then she threw her headset on the ground and walked off. I found out later she was our electrician.”
Anecdotes such as this have become fairly common since Loeb and his production partner, Cathy Allyn, began shooting their pro-life feature film June 15 in and around New Orleans.
But the actor told LifeNews things are moving forward.
“The actors and crew have been top notch with tremendous experience. I am so proud of how hard they are all working despite all the obstacles,” Loeb told LifeNews.Earlier this year, Loeb said Facebook also censored their efforts to spread the word about the film.
“Hollywood only wants you to hear their version of the story – in fact, there are 3 movies currently in development that take a pro-abortion stance,” the film producers said. “But you shouldn’t be surprised. Hollywood has always had an agenda to influence Americans to accept abortion, even if they have to re-write history to do it.”
Loeb told the news outlet that they are negotiating a distribution deal, and they hope to release the film in January.
The film will follow key advocates in the abortion fight in the 1970s, including former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson and Betty Friedan on the pro-abortion side and Dr. Mildred Jefferson, the first African American woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School, on the pro-life side.
“Bernard and Betty, along with the team at Planned Parenthood, search the country to find a pregnant girl they can use to sue the government for her right to have an abortion,” according to a description on the film website.
They find the “perfect pawn” in Norma McCorvey, the Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade. McCorvey later became pro-life and fought to overturn the infamous ruling that bears her name. She and others attested to her being mistreated and used by abortion activists to achieve their deadly agenda.
The film will examine the lies and manipulative tactics of abortion activists, people like McCorvey and Nathanson who later had a change of heart, and dedicated pro-life advocates like Jefferson who fought valiantly to defend the right to life for babies in the womb.

The film will follow key advocates in the abortion fight in the 1970s, including former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson and Betty Friedan on the pro-abortion side and Dr. Mildred Jefferson, the first African American woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School, on the pro-life side.
“Bernard and Betty, along with the team at Planned Parenthood, search the country to find a pregnant girl they can use to sue the government for her right to have an abortion,” according to a description on the film website.
They find the “perfect pawn” in Norma McCorvey, the Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade. McCorvey later became pro-life and fought to overturn the infamous ruling that bears her name. She and others attested to her being mistreated and used by abortion activists to achieve their deadly agenda.
The film will examine the lies and manipulative tactics of abortion activists, people like McCorvey and Nathanson who later had a change of heart, and dedicated pro-life advocates like Jefferson who fought valiantly to defend the right to life for babies in the womb.
The film also will address the racism intertwined in the abortion industry through Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger and others, and Jefferson’s fight for unborn babies as well as people of color.

Another Victory! Second Waste Disposal Company Quits Carhart’s Late-Term Abortion Business June 23, 2018
Bethesda, Maryland — Operation Rescue has received a letter from Biomedical Recovery Systems owner John Kappler that shows he has terminated his business dealings with late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart and his AbortionClinics.org (ACO), an abortion facility in Bethesda, Maryland, that conducts abortions throughout all nine months of pregnancy.
This is the second medical waste disposal company to terminate business dealings with Carhart and ACO in the past two weeks as the result of phone calls and e-mails made by Operation Rescue supporters asking that the businesses halt their dealings with the notorious late-term abortion facility.
On June 5, 2018, Biomedical Waste Services stopped picking up the remains of babies aborted at ACO – some over 30 weeks gestation. ACO then contracted with Biomedical Recovery Systems, which made only one pick up at the abortion facility before quitting.
The letter from Kappler to Chelsea Souder, administrator for ACO, dated June 23, 2018, states, “This letter serves as notice that effective immediately I am terminating our service with your organization.”
“We very much appreciate Mr. Kappler’s decision to do the right thing,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “We understand that he spoke to several of our supporters who were able to explain what actually takes place at Carhart’s abortion business in terms of the deaths of late term babies as well as the documented deaths and serious injuries to their mothers. These conversations helped Mr. Kappler make his decision to end his dealings with ACO.”
An excerpt of a conversation between Kappler and Operation Rescue’s Cheryl Sullenger, in which comments were made by Kappler in an unguarded moment, will be taken offline and the original article will be edited to remove those comments.
“We understand that in the heat of the moment, people can say things that they really don’t mean. We are not here to punish people who do the right thing,” said Newman.
Operation Rescue wishes to thank everyone who called or e-mailed on this successful campaign.
“Once again, this victory belongs to you,” said Newman. “We are very grateful.”

All But Three Democrats Voted to Allow Unlimited Abortions Up to Birth
Just three Democrats in the U.S. Senate supported a bill on Monday that would prohibit abortions after 20 weeks when unborn babies are capable of feeling pain.
The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which has strong public support from Republicans and Democrats alike, narrowly failed to pass the U.S. Senate on Monday in a 51-46 vote. The bill needed 60 votes to overcome Democrats’ filibuster.
The bill would save as many as 18,000 unborn babies form abortions every year in the U.S.
U.S. Sens. Bob Casey Jr. of Pennsylvania, Joe Donnelly of Indiana and Joe Manchin of West Virginia were the only Democrats who supported the legislation.
They alone listened to the majority of their constituents by supporting the moderate abortion ban. Polls consistently show strong public support for a 20-week abortion ban, including a majority of Democrats and women.
Democrats’ votes on the legislation could make a difference at the voting booth this fall. Casey, Donnelly and Manchin are up for re-election, as are several Democrats who voted against the late-term abortion ban.
The Democratic Party is becoming increasingly radical and out of touch with voters on the abortion issue. Some party leaders, backed by the abortion industry, are pushing for full support of abortion on demand up to birth from elected officials. The party’s top donor even said he will not donate to Democrat candidates who are pro-life.
Yet, Democrats like Casey, Donnelly and Manchin are the ones supporting legislation that is in line with the average Democrat on abortion.
In contrast, Democrat U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Jon Tester of
According to a recent Gallup poll, just 29 percent of Americans want unlimited abortion up to birth. Fact checkers also have confirmed that the U.S. is one of only seven countries in the world that allows elective abortions after 20 weeks, something the Pain-Capable bill would have changed.
Democrats for Life estimates more than 23 million Democrats in the U.S. are pro-life. In 2016, Pew Research found that 28 percent of Democrats say abortion should be illegal in most or all cases. Marist/KofC polling also found that 23 percent of Democrats consider themselves pro-life and 40 percent say abortion is morally wrong.
After the vote Monday, the pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List announced plans to target pro-abortion Democrats by exposing their “extreme” abortion support through online ads and websites, the Washington Examiner reports.
“As the polling … makes clear, their votes against this compassionate, consensus legislation put these senators dramatically out of step with their constituents and the pro-life American majority,” SBA List said in a statement.
The U.S. House already approved the legislation, but Democrats in the Senate used a filibuster, requiring it to get 60 votes to move forward, to stop the bill. In the House, the vote for the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act broke down on mostly partisan lines with Republicans supporting the ban on late-term abortions and most Democrats opposing it. The House approved the bill on a 237-189 vote.
President Donald Trump condemned late-term abortions and supported the bill during his March for Life address in January.
Sixteen states have enacted similar laws that ban abortions after 20 weeks. These include Ohio, Texas, Nebraska, Idaho, Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Kentucky and Kansas.
