Bernard Nathanson / From "King of abortion" a pro-life doctor
By VerĂ³nica Toller.
A story that deserves to be. Nathanson revealed the recipe used to make abortion: making the media, falsifying statistics, to discredit the Catholic Church ignore the scientific evidence.
killed 75 thousand people, but was never arrested. On the contrary, the law allowed him, encouraged him and the parents of those killed was paid for it. "I had boats, aircraft, farms, women ... but it was all based on a lie," he wrote years later, he realized the extent of what he had done. "I am directly responsible for 75 000 deaths due to the lie that the person in the womb is not worth anything," he said. It was Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the "king of abortion, the doctor who did the legalization of abortion in America.
six days ago, died at age 84, already become one of the largest pro-life leaders of the world. Hers is a story of death and back to light, a proof that change is possible and a direct witness and courageous about which methods and manipulations to implant the abortion law. A model that after the American experience is being repeated in other countries where abortion is sought to be free, including our country. "As a scientist I do not think, I know and I know that human life begins at conception," he wrote in 1992. What did happen? It's a story worth knowing. Bernard Nathanson
killed 75 thousand people. And in death expected to have opened the gates of Heaven, and surely will have had, but not for having killed so many, but have acknowledged, have repented, have asked forgiveness and have started the opposite way of defending life and complaints against the industry of death. Why did I not been arrested? Simple. Because the deaths he caused (Nathanson acknowledged that oversaw more than 10 thousand, hand shape with about 5 thousand and in the clinic that he ran there were further 60 000) were and are in their country, America, very legal. We are talking about abortion. Abortion
number one: "I ran my own son," wrote
Nathanson was born into a Jewish family. His father was a well known gynecologist. He sent it to the McGill University Medical College in Montreal. "I My first experience with abortion in the School-wrote years later. My girlfriend got pregnant, and it seemed impossible to get married. My father gave me money for the abortion, illegal, which was complicated. She almost died. I took care, and social indignation filled me against abortion illegal. Years later, my other girlfriend got pregnant. She did not want an abortion but I persuaded her. I wanted the best abortion, and that was me: I did and so I ran my own son, coldly, without emotion, another surgical procedure to me, "he said.
In his autobiography "The hand of God," wrote on this episode: "I do not have feelings, beyond the feeling of accomplishment, pride in the experience." The mentality of the abortionist, he says, is "cold, without conscience, without remorse, perverting their medical skills, defiling his moral weight. It is seductive, with its quiet clinic, your professionalism in the act that comes closest to self-slaughter. "
in 1968 operably linked to Larry Lader, another supporter of abortion. Next to him created the League of National Action for the Right to Abortion. "We had success in two years managed to destroy the New York law that criminalized abortion since 1829-said Nathanson. But legal abortion was not enough: it should be "cheap, safe and humane" he said. The law was passed in New York in 1970 with the signing of then Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller.
Nathanson was appointed director of the newly Center Sexual and Reproductive Health in Manhattan, the "largest abortion clinic in the western world" as he called it. The censorship, however, received several medical circles, he did resign in 1972 and filed as head of obstetrics at St. Luke's Hospital, where he also was performing abortions.
Change: the light that came from the hand of science When
understood that abortion was a crime? At the start of the new technology of ultrasound scans. "At that time we knew nothing of the fetus, we had no way to measure it, nor see, nor to confirm his humanity. Our interest is focused on women, not the baby, but when I left the clinic and was director of obstetrics at St. Luke Hospital in New York, something changed, "he said.
With the new technology "for the first time were able to study human beings in the womb and discovered that it was not different from us, ate, slept, drank fluids, dreaming, he sucked his thumb, Like a newborn child. The truth was that this was a human being with dignity given by God, that should not be destroyed or damaged, "said Nathanson. After 4 years of studying the fetus became pro-life doctor, "questioned the abortion with lectures and made two movies. In an abortion could be seen a real, a boy of 12 weeks sucked to death. He saw how she sucked his arms and legs, broke the chest, was very strong. Pro-abortionists say it was a hoax. I've always encouraged them that if they think so, make them their own real-abortion film, with its own images. Never have, because they know very well what would be. "
The way back home
Though to a Jewish school, his father made fun of religious teachings he received. "So I became an atheist Jew," he wrote. After the process of recognition of the reality of abortion, he fell into a deep malaise, a dark alley. For 7 years, spoke with a Catholic priest, Father C. John McCloskey, the Opus Dei. In 1994, he said he wanted to convert to the Catholic faith.
"In the early 80's I had money, property, warehouses, three failed marriages, a son upset and 75,000 victims -Narrated. He denied that there was another life, but knew he had. Depressed, thought of suicide. Then I met a priest "pro-life." He was my guide, my Virgil in Hell. I became convinced of the truth, the big lie that no longer dominated my life. Now my work "pro" out of the heart and soul, not just the brain. "
One of the things that struck him most was, he told a "rescue operation" a manifestation of pro-life Catholics against an abortion clinic. They sang and prayed. They had so much peace and dignity that he was pierced by Nathanson respect and wanted to be like them.
"Often there is the issue of abortion as a freedom of choice of women. But a person can not choose the taking of life to another. It is not possible to speak of the right to choose, because this is the commandment "Thou shalt not kill," he wrote.
was baptized in December 1996 by Cardinal John O'Connor in a private memorial service attended by some friends and family, St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. He also received Confirmation and First Communion of the cardinal. About it, then said: "I found the cure to what was happening, fresh water in me, and soft voices and an indescribable feeling peace. He had found a safe place. "
"He was a prophet for life," Father McCloskey said in an interview published by the National Catholic Register. "He saw the whole culture of death is coming, and knew that abortion is just the tip of the iceberg."
"abortion is now so unimaginably huge monster that sounds ridiculous, thinking back to his cage. However, that is our charge. A Herculean task. I am among those who helped usher in an era of barbarism, "said Nathanson.
How to manipulate to get an abortion law
In 1992, Nathanson wrote a public letter testifying to what he had done and how, with other friends and colleagues, managed to bend wills and approve abortion. Revealing all this, and write the books he published and make the films he made, earned him criticism from his former friends and personal persecution. Nathanson must be courageous yet humble enough to do and say what did and said.
This is your open letter of 1992:
"I am directly responsible for 75,000 abortions, which pushes me to address the public possessing credibility on the subject.
I was one of the founders of the National Association for Repeal Abortion laws in the United States in 1968. Then an accurate survey would have established the fact that most Americans were against permissive abortion laws. However, after five years we get the Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973. How did we do? It is important to know the tactics we use, because small differences were repeated with success in the Western world.
Our first major achievement was to provide ourselves with the media, they were convinced that favored a pro-abortion cause and knowing that advanced liberalism accurate survey would be defeated, to rig the polls invented and published in the media, according to them 60% of Americans favored the introduction of permissive abortion laws.
was the tactic of exalting their own falsehood and so we get sufficient support, based on false numbers on illegal abortions occurred annually in USA. This figure was 100,000 (hundred thousand) or so, but they repeatedly gave the media was 1,000,000 (one million). And a lie repeated enough, the public makes it true.
The number of women dying from illegal abortions every year between 200 and 250, but the figure continually repeated the media was 10,000 (ten thousand), and in spite of their falsity was accepted by many Americans convinced of the need to change the laws on abortion.
Another myth that we offered to the public, is that changing the laws only mean that the abortions performed illegally, would become legal. But the truth is that today, abortion is the primary means of birth control in the USA. And the annual number of abortions has increased by 1500 percent, 15 times more. fundamental
The second tactic was to play the card of anti-Catholicism.
systematic vilification of the Catholic Church, calling his reactionary social ideas, and attach to their nests the role of "evil" ruler of the permissive abortion opponents. We constantly emphasize. Means reiterated that opposition to abortion came from this system, not the Catholic people, and once again, fake polls "proved" and again that most Catholics wanted the reform of abortion laws.
And the drums of the media persuaded the American people that any opposition to abortion was rooted in the Catholic hierarchy and pro-abortion Catholics were smart and progressive. The fact that non-Catholic Christian groups, and even atheists, to declare themselves pro-life, was always muted. fundamental
The third tactic was to denigrate or ignore any scientific evidence that life begins at conception.
I am often asked what made me change. How I went from being a prominent abortionist to pro-life advocate? In 1973 I became Director of Obstetrics in a large hospital in the city of New York, and had to start a perinatal research unit, was the beginning of a new technology we now use every day to study the fetus in the womb. A typical pro-abortion argument is to argue the impossibility of defining when it starts the principle of life, affirming that this is a theological or philosophical, not scientific. fetology
But the evidence shows that life begins at conception and requires all the protection we enjoy any of us.
You might ask: So, why some doctors who know the fetology, discredit practicing abortions?
question of arithmetic: $ 300 each, one million five hundred fifty thousand (1,550,000) abortions in the United States, involving an industry that produces $ 500 million annually. Of these, most are in the pockets of doctors who perform abortion.
is a clear fact that voluntary abortion is a deliberate destruction of human life. It is an act of deadly violence. Must recognize that an unplanned pregnancy raises serious and difficult problems. But go to fix it a deliberate act of destruction is to prune the capacity of human resources and, in the social order, to subordinate the public good utilitarian response.
As a scientist I do not think, I know and I know that human life begins at conception. And although I am not a particular religion, I believe with all my heart that there is a deity who commands us to end forever this infinitely sad and shameful crime against humanity. "
