There is violence in abortion, especially in second trimester procedures\u2026 Of course, acknowledging the violence of abortion risks admitting that the stereotypes that anti-abortion forces hold of us are true \u2013 that we are butchers, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n

Leaked undercover video footage from the Center for Medical Progress, received this week by GotNews.com and put online by a hacker, shows an undercover CMP representative\u00a0speaking with a Michigan Planned Parenthood abortion doctor about harvesting baby body parts for research.\u00a0This abortionist, Lisa Harris, once described doing a late-term abortion while pregnant, has\u00a0admitted that abortion procedures are violent (and that abortion victims really do<\/em> look like pro-lifers’ photos), and has said that re-assembling fetal body parts often elicits “feelings of awe” in abortionists.<\/p>\n

Harris,\u00a0described <\/a>by the pro-abortion blog RH Reality Check as a Assistant Professor in the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Women\u2019s Studies at University of Michigan. Harris is also\u00a0co-medical director of Planned Parenthood of Mid and South Michigan, and the Director of University of Michigan\u2019s Fellowship in Family Planning<\/a>. She is also a member of the board of directors for the Reproductive Health Technologies Partnership.<\/p>\n

In a 2008 paper<\/a> entitled, “Second Trimester Abortion Provision: Breaking the Silence and Changing the weeks Discourse,<\/a>” Harris describes performing an abortion on a preborn baby at 18 weeks while she herself was 18 weeks pregnant.\u00a0Harris writes:<\/p>\n

\n

I went about doing the procedure as usual.\u00a0I used electrical suction to remove the amniotic fluid, picked up my forceps and began to remove the fetus in parts, as I always did. I felt lucky that this one was already in the breech position – it would make grasping small parts (legs and arms) a little easier….<\/p>\n

With my first pass of the forceps, I grasped an extremity and began to pull it down. I could see a small foot hanging from the teeth of my forceps. With a quick tug, I separated the leg. Precisely at that moment, I felt a kick – a fluttery “thump, thump” in my own uterus. It was one of the first times I felt fetal movement. There was a leg and foot in my forceps, and a “thump, thump” in my abdomen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the same paper, Harris later writes about a 23 week abortion she performed and how she had to re-assemble the parts of the baby:<\/p>\n

\n

As a third-year resident I spent many days in our hospital abortion clinic. The last patient I saw one day was 23 weeks pregnant. I performed an uncomplicated D&E procedure. Dutifully, I went through the task of reassembling the fetal parts in the metal tray. It is an odd ritual that abortion providers perform \u2013 required as a clinical safety measure to ensure that nothing is left behind in the uterus to cause a complication \u2013 but it also permits us in an odd way to pay respect to the fetus<\/strong> (feelings of awe are not uncommon<\/strong> when looking at miniature fingers and fingernails, heart, intestines, kidneys, adrenal glands), even as we simultaneously have complete disregard for it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

After she dismembered this\u00a023-week preborn baby, she “rushed upstairs to take overnight call on labour and delivery.”<\/p>\n

Harris’s words conjure up pictures of a mad serial killer who can repeatedly kill without feelings of empathy for her victims. But in the leaked CMP video, you would get a completely different sense – the sense that Harris is\u00a0a decent person who simply cares for the health of women. That is, if you didn’t listen to\u00a0her own words about what Harris does to these children:<\/p>\n
