In fact, much that happens would horrify the public if the truth were to be told.<\/p>\n<p>Despite decades of secrecy and cover-ups, pro-life groups and individuals have done painstaking work documenting the secrets of Big Abortion. This article will discuss a few of those secrets.<\/p>\n<p><b>The bottom of the barrel<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I begin with my own experience seeing what&#8217;s behind the veil of legalized abortion.<\/p>\n<p>In the late 1980s, I uncovered some of the industry&#8217;s most hideous and disgusting secrets, many of which are tragically still taking place today \u2014 abortion facilities failing to sanitize instruments, abortion tables left covered in blood, rooms infested with rats or cockroaches, the employment of unlicensed and unskilled abortionists and staff, a lack of sufficient life-saving equipment \u2014 the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n<p>I spent thousands of dollars obtaining and reviewing medical board disciplinary reports of abortion providers across the United States. The documents I uncovered in those years would make anyone&#8217;s skin crawl. They included cases of abortionists committing <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/florida-abortionists-predatory-histories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sexual abuse and rape<\/a>, allegations that abortion staff photographed abortion clients while they were under anesthesia, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/child-porn-sexual-assault-abortionists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">child sexual abuse<\/a> committed by abortionists, theft, drug abuse, malpractice resulting in injuries and death to abortion clients&#8230; and even cold-blooded murder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Killing women<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 1996, I attended the funeral of abortion client Carolina Gutierrez, who received a life-threatening infection after her legal abortion, which led to the amputation of multiple parts of her body. But the infection eventually won, and Carolina and her preborn child both lost their lives. Tragically, she was not the first or last woman to believe the lie that legalizing abortion made it safe.<\/p>\n<p>I will never forget watching Carolina&#8217;s surviving children climb on top of her casket at her graveside. Her name will never be mentioned by Big Abortion, and her death remains secretly behind the veil of legalized abortion.<\/p>\n<p>I took the photo below at her funeral, with the permission of her family.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_179133\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179133\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-179133 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Carolia-Gutierrez-woman-killed-from-legal-abortion.jpg\" alt=\"Image; Woman killed from legal abortion\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Carolia-Gutierrez-woman-killed-from-legal-abortion.jpg 450w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Carolia-Gutierrez-woman-killed-from-legal-abortion-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Carolia-Gutierrez-woman-killed-from-legal-abortion-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-179133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo of Carolina Gutierrez at funeral (Carole Novielli, with permission of Carolina&#8217;s family)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dirty (Not-So-Little) Secrets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the 1980s, pro-life activist Lynn Mills began what now amounts to decades of research behind the veil of legalized abortion in Michigan. She has combed through thousands of public documents, filed freedom of information requests (FOIAs), attended meetings around medical licensure, and filed multiple cases with the State of Michigan&#8217;s medical licensing agencies to protect women.<\/p>\n<p>Mills said the county records department became a treasure trove to locate &#8220;all the dirty little secrets&#8221; behind the abortion industry in her state. That information included evidence of &#8220;poor mangled women,&#8221; which Mills said &#8220;eventually leads to the death certificates, the closed hospitals, and what they do in secret behind doors \u2014 with or without gloves on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is where you get to the corporate papers, the corporate filings. This is what&#8230; gets you the names behind the scenes, the web of deception, the people pulling the strings behind the doors, the people who don\u2019t want to be seen, all the interwoven tangles of lies and deceit,&#8221; Mills told Live Action News.<\/p>\n<p>Mills also assisted Tim Murphy \u2014 who worked for the Pro-life Action League at that time \u2014 in identifying women killed by abortion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Many of those deaths became part of the tombstones that Tim Murphy and the Pro-Life Action League created and placed outside the National Abortion Federation convention in Chicago in 1992,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Mills was inspired to do this work by Joseph Scheidler, founder of the <a href=\"https:\/\/prolifeaction.org\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pro-life Action League (PLAL)<\/a>,\u00a0who passed away in <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/godfather-pro-life-movement-joe-scheidler-death\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2021<\/a>.

In 1985, Scheidler published &#8220;Closed: 99 Ways to Stop Abortion,&#8221; a controversial book which included multiple ways to &#8220;gather evidence&#8221; against abortionists.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We kept running into people who worked in the clinics and were disgusted with what they saw,&#8221; Scheidler wrote.<\/p>\n<p>One abortion facility worker described to Scheidler how the facility where she worked was committing later abortions.
