Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s already dead.\u2019\u200a\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Can you imagine anything more horrific than being forced to &#8220;catch&#8221; a dead baby&#8217;s head? A baby who only minutes before was alive in its mother&#8217;s womb?<\/p>\n<p>Pro-abort writers and bloggers are hysterically (I don&#8217;t use the word lightly) attempting to attack these women&#8217;s motives.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s just a sample of mockery by Erin Ryan of the feminist blog <a href=\"http:\/\/jezebel.com\/roe-v-world\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Jezebel<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;From the way the complaint describes it, you&#8217;d think they were being ordered to line babies up and shoot them with a crossbow in front of their children.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I won&#8217;t even repeat some of the other things I&#8217;ve seen written about these pro-life nurses.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->I think the need by pro-abort writers to hysterically blow this story out of proportion is telling: they have to exaggerate because the actual reality of what these nurses have been asked to do is truly horrifying. No one is talking about shooting babies with crossbows, we <em>are<\/em> talking about crushing a baby&#8217;s skull while the baby is still inside his or her mother and severing it from its tiny body. Pro-lifers demand that all sides simply face the gruesome facts.<\/p>\n<p>For a movement that claims to be for &#8220;choice&#8221;, pro-aborts absolutely cannot admit that pro-life nurses have a choice not to assist at abortions. But the more important choice facing advocates of abortion is whether or not they will agree to discuss and confront the reality of abortion.<\/p>\n<p>So, stow the crossbows and contemplate the heads of the poor victims of abortion instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we&#8217;ve reported, a dozen pro-life nurses in New Jersey are fighting for their right to follow their conscience and not be forced to assist at abortions.
