A new profile of abortionist Warren Hern in the Los Angeles Times<\/a> delved into what motivates him to commit abortions extremely late in pregnancy, as he is one of a small percentage of abortionists in the country willing to do so. In the profile, Hern said he loves ending the lives of preborn human beings, discusses the effects that late abortions have had on doctors, and remembers George Tiller’s legacy.<\/p>\n

George Tiller and pro-life violence<\/h3>\n

In 2009, Tiller \u2014 also known for committing late abortions \u2014 was murdered at his church by Scott Roeder, in an inexcusable act of violence. Since then, the late Tiller has been lauded by the abortion industry, and Hern described him in a similar vein. \u201cGeorge was a wonderful guy, a normal person \u2014 as distinguished from me \u2014 kind and forgiving and a Christian and all that stuff,\u201d he said \u201cWe were great friends, and I miss him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not acknowledged is Tiller’s background<\/a>; he committed illegal abortions, was responsible for patient deaths, covered up the rape of children, and provided poor patient care. One woman, “Patient A,” said she was the last to undergo an abortion when she visited Tiller’s facility. Though she was told she wouldn\u2019t remember anything, she did \u2014 including what Tiller did to her child.<\/p>\n

She said of the other abortion clients, \u201cThey all literally looked like zombies just lying there. It was creepy. I was not allowed to have my husband come back to see me or comfort me. Finally it was my turn. I was taken in and given a drug to almost knock me out. It\u2019s one where they say you don\u2019t remember things, but I do\u2026 I can remember him [Tiller] half delivering my baby, jabbing the scissors into his head and killing him, then just kind of throwing him to the side and finishing up.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Patient A” seems to be describing a D&X (or “partial-birth”) abortion, which is a federally illegal procedure.<\/p>\n

Most of the babies killed by Tiller were in the second- and third- trimesters, and were healthy<\/em>. He killed so many babies that he had his own full-sized crematorium to burn their bodies.<\/p>\n

Hern claimed in the profile that the overturning of Roe v. Wade<\/em> in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization<\/em> Supreme Court decision has made abortionists even more at risk of violence, and puts women at risk. \u201cThe criminalization of abortion under Republicans and Trump is a catastrophe for women,\u201d he said. \u201cIt has become a collective psychosis. Why should a doctor who helps women have to work in secret behind bulletproof windows?\u201d<\/p>\n

What was not acknowledged in the article is that the vast majority of violence since Dobbs<\/em> has been perpetrated by abortion activists<\/a> against the pro-life movement, not by pro-lifers… and since Roe<\/em>, not one woman has died due to pro-life laws<\/a> put in place across the country.<\/p>\n

The effect of abortion<\/h3>\n

The article tried to make out that Hern’s prolific career committing late abortions is largely because these preborn children were diagnosed with fatal anomalies, or because the woman’s own life is at risk. This is false, and has been disproven time and time again, though pro-abortion media outlets continue to push this narrative.<\/p>\n

A 1988 Guttmacher study<\/a> found that just two percent (2%) of women who had abortions did so because of a health problem with the baby. More than 20 years later, a 2013 study<\/a> (also published by the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute) said, \u201c[D]ata suggest that most women seeking later terminations are not doing so for reasons of fetal anomaly or life endangerment.\u201d Pro-abortion researcher Diana Greene Foster stated, according to a report from the Congressional Research Service<\/a>, that abortions for fetal abnormalities \u201cmake up a small minority of later abortion.\u201d And a 2010 paper<\/a> from Julia Steinberg, of the pro-abortion Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, said, \u201cResearch suggests that the overwhelming majority of women having later abortions do so for reasons other than fetal anomaly (Drey et al., 2006; Finer et al., 2005, 2006; Foster et al., 2008).\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea that most later abortions are committed out of necessity, as opposed to the same reasons earlier abortions are committed, is likely to make these abortions seem more acceptable to not only the American public, but to the people involved in the abortions as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur whole entire evolutionary experience is to take care of small helpless creatures, including human babies,\u201d Hern said. \u201cThat\u2019s the core biocultural problem with this.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then claimed that an abortionist-in-training once had to leave while Hern ended the life of a preborn child at 34 weeks<\/strong>. \u201cThis was rather disconcerting to her, and I told her there was nothing wrong with feeling that way,” he said.<\/p>\n

Hern has previously discussed<\/a> personally experiencing nightmares after committing abortions, and has said that his employees often struggled with what they witnessed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work has caused some of his employees \u2018serious emotional reactions that produced physiological symptoms, sleep disturbances, effects on interpersonal relationships and moral anguish,\u2019 Hern reported in a medical journal,\u201d the Los Angeles Times reported in a previous article. \u201cSome said they dreamed that they vomited fetuses.\u201d<\/p>\n
