And at the end I just remember feeling very nauseated. [&#8230;] That is nothing to be proud of,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortionist-horror-abortion-pictures\/\">Former abortionist: Horror of abortion is \u2018exactly what the pictures show\u2019<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CkSAi6uW1ds\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But when she herself experienced the loss of her first baby, she came face-to-face with how pro-abortion views directly impact how miscarriages are viewed. Although she expected to return to normal, she found herself unable to shake the trauma of her preborn baby\u2019s death. This led her to realize the contradiction in her heart. \u201cIf life didn\u2019t begin until a baby could sustain itself outside of the womb, why was I in so much pain? So my pro-choice stance started to crack.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Buzzetti said that she began to see her practice with a new set of eyes: \u201cI began seeing the brokenness that these terminations were causing, and it has just made me realize that, as obstetricians, we need to stop being complacent and allowing these babies to be disregarded.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen we completed our medical training we took an oath to do no harm, and in what I\u2019ve seen there are two of our patients that are suffering when we allow elective terminations.
