Ghazaleh Moayedi is an abortionist practicing in Hawaii. She participates in telemed abortions<\/a>, and while she’s also an OB\/GYN, it seems that her work as an abortionist is what she’s most passionate about — judging by her media presence, anyway, which revolves almost exclusively around abortion. The most recent example? An op-ed Ghazaleh Moayedi wrote for Glamour magazine — which routinely promotes abortion<\/a> —\u00a0which was chockful of disturbing quotes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Prevent spreading the disease.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moayedi opens her op-ed by explaining that she’s currently pregnant, in her third trimester. A colleague asked her if she would continue providing abortions<\/a> after having her baby, and she assured them that she wasn’t going to stop. \u201cI just thought it might be hard to do abortions once you have a baby yourself,” Moayedi quoted her colleague as saying. Moayedi explained that she became pregnant with her first child during her second year of OB\/GYN residency, and people reacted with cruelty. “I immediately came under scrutiny from my superiors,” she said. “There were ‘jokes’ about forcing other residents to be on birth control to prevent spreading the disease.” Pregnancy was viewed as a disease<\/em> by OB residents? This hardly seems like a healthy attitude toward human life.<\/p>\n

Far from realizing the horrors of abortion after having carried a baby herself, Ghazaleh Moayedi claims it only made her more<\/em> committed to abortion.\u00a0“I am often asked whether providing abortion care is hard as a mother — as if abortion somehow exists in a realm outside of motherhood,” she wrote. “But motherhood is not an accidental or natural job; motherhood is a job done with intention. Holding my baby\u2019s tiny hands in my own not only strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate abortion care but also exposed how I needed to commit to supporting mothers in all aspects of my care.”<\/p>\n

But what about the “tiny hands” that cannot defend themselves? Why are those real, human lives being ignored?<\/p>\n
