Interesting, But truly Sad.
WorldNetDaily published an e-mail interview today on Dr. William Harrison, an OB-GYN who claims to have performed abortions on more than 20,000 unborn children.
In the interview, Dr. Harrison claims to be doing "God's work" when he terminates a pregnancy:
"Embryos and fetuses spontaneously aborted - most, but not all of those 'canceled' by 'God' - are... luckless human souls (referring to an ancient poem describing the plight of mankind). But a few spontaneous abortions occur in desired pregnancies with no discernable abnormalities. For those girls and women and their families whose circumstances would make their babies 'luckless human souls,' I 'cancel' them before they become babies."
Harrison forwarded a letter he'd written to a newspaper editor on the issue of abortion. In it, he specifically addressed the question of whether pro-abortion campaigners ever "lament... the loss of the unborn:"
"Anyone who has delivered as many babies as I have, and has seen hundreds of living and dead embryos and fetuses being spontaneously aborted as have I, knows exactly what we are doing when we provide an elective abortion for our patient. We are ending the life of an embryo or a fetus. Not the life of a person, but certainly a creature that might have become a person under other circumstances."
When reading the article, I visualized this physician to be a guy who could justify about anything, and to be on the far fringe of the OB/GYN field. To my surprise, the article stated that Dr. Harrison was actually Hillary Clinton's physician at one time - leading me to believe that his practice isn't as obscure as I thought.
It shows how politicized and culturally-accepted this practice has become. It reinforces my resolve to know if my candidate, from president on down, values the life of a "creature, that might become a person under other circumstances."
