As the title indicates, it presents abortion in the most positive light possible, sugarcoating the decision and praising women who have abortions. One especially eye-opening quote comes from a clinic worker who says (emphasis mine):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In Spain every single abortion is done under local [anesthesia]. It\u2019s walk in, walk out. They come in at 4 clock, by 5 o\u2019clock they have had the operation, the consultation, and are back home. And I was so impressed by it. I said, it\u2019s not possible!\u00a0<strong>I wouldn\u2019t mind having 3 or 4 abortions like that rather than go to the dentist once every 5 years.<\/strong>\u00a0They\u2019ve mastered the technique, improved it, no fuss.\u201d (page 86)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>To many pro-lifers, this quote is shocking. This clinic worker, who sees the torn apart bodies of aborted babies daily, actually says that enduring multiple abortions is better than a trip to the dentist. Not only does her viewpoint show a complete disregard for the baby, but it does not respect the reality that many women face.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.silentnomoreawareness.org\/index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Groups like Silent No More <\/a>have compiled the testimonies of\u00a0many, many\u00a0women who were devastated by their abortions. Support groups and healing retreats for post-abortion women take place all over the country. Thousands of women attend these events or are members of post-abortion advocacy groups. Obviously, to many women, abortion is <em>not<\/em> easier than going to the dentist.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning of the book, the pro-abortion author of <em>Abortion: A Positive Decision<\/em> concedes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>No matter that legal abortion is as safe a procedure as having your tonsils out or a penicillin injection or wisdom tooth extracted. It is far more than a safe medical procedure because of the complicated decision-making that is involved, and the fact that it has to do with sex and life and death. (pages 3-4)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, Launneborg\u2019s claim that abortion is extremely safe\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/clinicquotes.com\/category\/womens-health\/abortion-malpractice\/\" target=\"_blank\">can be refuted,<\/a>\u00a0but for now I will focus on her second statement. Abortion, she says, has to do with \u201clife and death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t help but wonder. Whose life? Whose death? Obviously, the woman does not die in the abortion <a href=\"http:\/\/liveaction.org\/inhuman\/jennifer-morbellis-story\" target=\"_blank\">(in most cases).<\/a> So it must be the fetus, the baby, who dies. How can Launneborg acknowledge that someone dies in every abortion and still call it a \u201cpositive decision\u201d? She is not the only pro-choice author or activist who has stated that abortion is killing.\u00a0 There are<a href=\"http:\/\/clinicquotes.com\/category\/quotes\/pro-choice-quotes\/pro-choicers-admit-its-murder\/\" target=\"_blank\"> 41 quotes on my website<\/a> where pro-choice activists admit this.<a href=\"http:\/\/clinicquotes.com\/category\/quotes\/pro-choice-quotes\/pro-choicers-admit-its-murder\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Both Launnborg and the unnamed clinic worker have hardened their hearts toward the aborted babies to the point where they have a complete lack of respect for human life. The good news is that most people have not closed off their emotions when it comes to abortion. Many thousands of men and women come to pro-life sites every day and learn the truth about abortion, what it does to women and their unborn babies. Many will be horrified by the clinic worker\u2019s words.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Patricia Launneborg, <em>Abortion: a Positive Decision<\/em> (New York: Bergin &amp; Garvey, 1992)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patricia Launneborg&#8217;s book Abortion: a Positive Decision is a difficult book for a pro-lifer to read.
