The same is true for pro-choice OB\/GYNs. And as John Bruchalski, a former abortionist, explains it, if you\u2019re a pro-choice OB\/GYN, than you\u2019re going to want to learn to do abortions and you\u2019re going to offer abortion to your patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI bought the lie,\u201d said Bruchalski in a speech he gave at a conference for the Pro-Life Action League. \u201cAbortion and contraception were good for women. [\u2026] I held the forceps. I twisted. [\u2026] That cannula that you use is only about eight\u00a0or nine\u00a0inches long. That\u2019s how close I am when I\u2019m taking the life of that child. And it goes through the cannula, through my fingers, through my arm, into my heart. And my heart becomes a little bit more hardened every time. I know because I\u2019ve been there. I\u2019ve done that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>After years performing abortions, Bruchalski says it was intercessory prayer that was the key to his conversion. While visiting a religious site in Mexico City, he heard a voice asking, \u201cWhy are you hurting me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite hearing this voice, Bruchalski returned home and continued to perform abortions, including one that went wrong.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-66224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Screen-Shot-2015-07-10-at-8.19.17-AM.png\" alt=\"Dr. John Bruchalski\" width=\"182\" height=\"237\" \/>\u201cHere I was doing an abortion. I didn\u2019t take a good history. The lady\u2019s water broke. I quickly said, \u2018Ya know, we\u2019re just gonna deliver your baby. The baby\u2019s not gonna make it.\u2019 So I delivered this child,\u201d Bruchalski explained. \u201c[\u2026] this baby was a pound and two ounces. They had to hit the button to bring the neonatology team in to help revive the baby. In walks Doctor Palmer, looks at me square in the eyes and says, \u2018Stop giving me tumors. You\u2019re better than this.\u2019 Aborted a baby, the baby was too big, too old. It was breathing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soon after this incident, Bruchalski accompanied his mother on a pilgrimage to another religious site. It was there, he says, that his whole world fell apart. He knew he needed to stop participating in abortion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo at one point in my life everything converged,\u201d he explained. \u201cData, medical studies that I was reading. Saying wait a second they\u2019re not telling me the truth here. Abortion &#8211; breast cancer; abortion &#8211; prematurity. What? And then people talking to me. The conversation of conversion. Doctor Debbie saying, \u2018Stop giving me tumors.\u2019 Relations, data, and spirituality and a relationship with God all came together at once in God\u2019s mercy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He left the abortion industry and founded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tepeyacfamilycenter.com\/\">Tepeyac Family Center<\/a>, a pro-life, OB\/GYN healthcare practice, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.divinemercycare.org\/\">Divine Mercy Care<\/a>, a non-profit healthcare organization. Both work with pregnancy resource centers to help women who are dealing with unexpected pregnancies.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Bruchalski recently toured 42 medical schools giving a presentation called \u201cHow \u2018Pro-Choice\u2019 Are We?\u201d He found that most medical students were eager to listen to him.<\/p>\n<p>Bruchalski urges pro-lifers to continue to stand outside of abortion clinics. He believes that we need to work together to make abortion \u201cunwantable.\u201d He says we must \u201chelp each other, pray for one another, sacrifice for one another. [\u2026] Conversions happen not on our timing. We just have to be instruments of God\u2019s love and mercy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To watch Bruchalski\u2019s entire speech, visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/prolifeaction.org\/hotline\/2015\/bruchalski\/#more-39682\">Pro-Life Action League website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all want to do our jobs to the best of our ability.
