Abortion Misinformation

Return to Catholic Life Section | The Gift of Life

It's amazing how on one hand the 'pro-choice' side says it fights for the right to 'choose', but on the other hand it only presents one 'choice' to a woman: the death of her baby. Rare is the abortionist that will tell a woman that she may place her baby for adoption. Rarer still is the abortionist that will directly admit to a woman that her 'choice' is to continue her pregnancy or to let him violently kill her baby. No, instead he will probably refer to an "interruption of pregnancy" and speak of a "blob of tissue" or "product of conception" - anything to dehumanize the baby and cloud the issue. He will probably not provide the woman with complete and specific information on fetal development or the gruesome abortion procedure. He will probably lie, provide misinformation, or at least do nothing so that a woman will realize what she's really 'choosing' is the murder of her child. It has been stated, probably accurately, that most abortions are uninformed. 

The misinformation from the 'pro-choice' side is intentional. If an abortionist described the tiny arms he's ripped off, the skulls he's crushed, or the tiny bodies he's burned, a pregnant woman would probably run away screaming. So they don't mention it. But he does know that the so-called "blob of tissue" is a human baby. He's taken them in his hand as he's knifed them, he's seen their bodies come through the suction machine, he's ripped off their arms, he's seen the burned bodies expelled by the mother as result of his saline injection. He's had to inventory body parts to be sure none remain in the mother. He's heard the unborn's heartbeat and may have even unintentionally taken babies out alive. And finally - when he wants to sell the tiny body he's removed from its mother for a profit - he calls it a "human fetus". It's all about money. 

Remember that if a woman is not kept in the dark, it might affect the abortionist's paycheck - his living depends upon her misinformation. Therefore, there are a number of things that you will probably never hear about from him. For example:

• That there are many health risks associated with abortion. Click here for more information

• That the abortion itself may be dangerous. Click here for more information

• That the fetus inside you is a human baby. Click here for more information

• That there are other options. Click here information on adoption

• That others will help you with an 'unplanned pregnancy'. Click here for more information

• That they know that life begins from conception. Click here for more information

More things you probably won't see or hear include:

• Details regarding the methods used to kill children. Click here for more information

• Photographs of the abortion procedure.

• A picture of an aborted baby.

• Picture/images of your unborn, living baby.

• Pictures of fetal development, showing the small child complete with head and arms and fingers and toes.

• The sound of your baby's heartbeat.

• What they intend to do with the body of your baby. Click here for more information

• That abortion kills your baby. Click here for more information

• And, that your baby actually is a baby. Click here for more information

Sometimes a woman may be pressured into thinking she has no other choice. Usually they won't allow her to be informed of what is really inside her or what the ramifications of abortion are. They may withhold information or "pretend ignorance about scientific certainties" (e.g. that life begins at conception). In some cases, women are downright lied to. They probably have the technology within arm's reach that would show you that the child within your womb is a real, living baby, but instead of showing it to you, they may turn it away. They don't want you to see that your child is not just a 'blob'. They don't want you to know about the almost certain link between abortion and serious health risks (there is still almost total silence about the abortion/breast cancer link - the data was originally withheld for years).

When filled with lies and misinformation, how can a woman make a good 'choice'? Why is it they say they are 'pro-choice'? How can they pretend to care about the woman while withholding the dangers of her 'choice' from her?

Then again, the campaign of misinformation is not too surprising. "Since abortionists kill for a living how can we trust them to provide accurate information about what they do?"

But at some point the woman herself will realize that she's been misinformed or lied to - or that she's simply lied to herself. By then it may be too late. She has killed her baby.
