Abortionist Willie Parker<\/p><\/div>\n

Abortionist Willie Parker has released a new book and appears to be making the publicity rounds. Recently, he gave an interview to Trevor Noah on Comedy Central<\/a> in which he compared himself to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and to Abraham Lincoln. Prior to that interview, he compared himself to Jesus Christ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Clearly, Parker thinks highly of himself, believing there is biblical justification for what he does to human beings. (Interestingly, incarcerated abortionist Kermit Gosnell, in prison for “snipping” the necks of babies born alive during abortions, feels the same way about himself<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

But in Parker’s most recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he said it is pro-lifers who are out of touch with reality,\u00a0claiming, according to The Blaze<\/a>, “that the pro-life movement offers a ‘narrative that is patently false’ about abortion.” Parker told the magazine that in his book, “he details what happens in an abortion procedure.”<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, if Parker’s\u00a0description is anything like Planned Parenthood’s<\/a>\u00a0attempts at describing the procedure (in other words, total avoidance of any reference to the\u00a0human child destroyed), then it’s not detailed enough.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps Parker wants the public to believe\u00a0that pro-lifers have always been pro-life — but this just isn’t the case. Many people have been converted to the pro-life view; some\u00a0were even once workers in the abortion industry, and\u00a0have been eyewitnesses to abortion procedures.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0late Dr. Bernard Nathanson, a former abortionist and the founder of NARAL, admitted to once pushing<\/a> a “patently false” narrative about women dying in droves from illegal abortion<\/a> in order to encourage legalization of the procedure in the United States. Nathanson later converted to the pro-life position. What about his story, Dr. Parker?<\/p>\n

What about the “narrative” of Abby Johnson, a Planned Parenthood center director who witnessed an abortion on ultrasound<\/a> and was converted to the pro-life position? Is her story “patently false”?<\/p>\n

What about the “narrative” of nurse Brenda Pratt-Shafer? She witnessed D&E abortions<\/a>, describing the dismembered body parts of the preborn children aborted while she was in the room? Is her story “patently false”?<\/p>\n

What about the “narrative” of Dr. Anthony Levatino, an obstetrician-gynecologist who committed more than 1,200 abortions before he became pro-life? Is his story “patently false,” Dr. Parker?<\/p>\n
