I said &#8216;please let me up. Let me off this table, out of this room. I don&#8217;t want this anymore.'&#8221; she told CBN. &#8220;I said, &#8216;&#8230; Just let me go. You can keep the money.&#8217; And they shouted for more people and I had four people holding me down. One \u2013 a nurse \u2013 and a staff member on each arm. The doctor aborted my child. I&#8217;m screaming&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Catherine experienced violence visited upon her own body, and her baby, as do all babies who are aborted, experienced violence and death:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5THDmys8z30\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They didn&#8217;t care about me,&#8221; she told CBN. &#8220;They didn&#8217;t respect my opinion&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One reason why Catherine, with Americans United for Life, fights so very hard for pro-life laws to be passed &#8212; like informed consent laws &#8212; is because she herself was denied the opportunity to see her own ultrasound on the day of her abortion: &#8220;&#8230; I asked [to see my ultrasound] and I was refused. They said no. And that&#8217;s always haunted me. I&#8217;ve always wanted and wished, again, that I could go back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This type of information denial is common in the abortion industry. As seen in an undercover video from Live Action, <a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/abortioncorporation\">Planned Parenthood<\/a>, which <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-seeks-block-indiana-ultrasound-requirement\/\">fights informed consent laws<\/a> and most other laws restricting abortion, will not even do ultrasounds for women who intend to continue their pregnancies. Planned Parenthood will only do ultrasounds <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-we-will-only-give-you-an-ultrasound-if-you-want-an-abortion\/\">on women who want to abort<\/a>, for the purpose of estimating the gestational age.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_WXjoqbStEM\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Sadly, Catherine&#8217;s story is not unusual. Many women say they have been coerced (either <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/shocking-report-finds-that-marie-stopes-clinics-coercing-women-into-abortion-throwing-babies-into-trash-cans-and-more\/\">by the abortion facility<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/coerced-into-abortion-planned-parenthood-by-baby-father-wish-i-could-undo-it\/\">by others<\/a>) or outright forced to abort their babies. This is the opposite of women&#8217;s empowerment, and Planned Parenthood knows it. One former Planned Parenthood manager told Live Action News that the abortion profiteer <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-manager-grief-journals\/\">puts grief journals in the post-op recovery rooms<\/a> for women to write their thoughts and feelings in after they abort their babies &#8212; and yet, publicly, the abortion corporation claims that women are empowered by their abortions, set free to go on with their lives without a second thought.<\/p>\n<p>But Catherine&#8217;s experience, like the experiences of many others, left her in mourning. &#8220;It took me a long time to recover\u2026 physically, and then mentally, emotionally, spiritually. It was devastating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read Catherine&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.cbn.com\/cbnnews\/us\/2018\/january\/i-had-four-people-holding-me-down-woman-recounts-horror-of-forced-abortion\">full story<\/a> at CBN News.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Americans United for Life president Catherine Glenn Foster was 19 years old, she had an abortion.
