Trust Women:documentary to attract new docs to late term abortions


 Catherine Epstein writes a blog  lauding two women financing and making a documentary making heroes out of late term abortionists in the hopes of motivating other doctors to devote their practices to late term abortions. They point out that the two late term abortionists, Carhart and Hern are 68 and 72 respectively and although there are other doctors who are not so public performing late term abortion that in their mind, they need more docs to enter this profession.

"...creating dozens of homemade buttons that read "Trust Women," the working title of their documentary. The film tells the story of two doctors who perform late-term abortions, and the buttons are gifts for contributors. Only a third of the way through shooting, Shane and Wilson say they need all the financial help they can get. "We're also sending condom bouquets," Shane explained, pointing to an arrangement in a vase across the table--several condoms wrapped together with pipe cleaner stems. Wilson nodded. "Maybe we can sell them as limited edition artworks."

Some of the reasons they state to justify late term abortion is that the baby will not live long after birth...wow.....so why not kill the baby now and save you the heartache of growing more attached to the baby and then having the baby die. That one  really gets me. No one wants the pain of losing a child so kill it early rather than put money into a dying child. This shows how selfish we are. A friend from church had such a pregnancy and they recommended abortion but she refused. Yes, her baby lived just three mos. but every day was a treasure and a blessing. Note they stress the pain part as justification, forgetting conveniently that we can deal with pain without killing the patient.
Fetuses are sometimes given devastating diagnoses, such as a one-year life expectancy in excruciating pain, creating an emotional and financial strain on the parents and other children in the family.
