Once a Pro-Lifer, She'll Soon Perform Abortions

Med student details what changed her mind

By Katherine Thompson| Posted Jun 7, 09 1:30 PM CDT|

(Newser) – Rozalyn Farmer Love grew up Catholic, taught that abortions are categorically wrong. But the third-year medical student delved into women's health, meeting women in agonizing situations along the way, and realized that although "ending an unwanted pregnancy is a tragedy," it's far worse to deny "safe, competent care" to women, she writes in the Washington Post.

"The choices I saw women struggling with were forcing me to question my old convictions," Love explains. She was shocked to learn that pro-life groups' description of partial-birth abortion is "misleading and graphically politicized," and even more dismayed that her peers "were puzzled that a pro-choice group was talking about wanting to reduce abortions."

Decades ago, entire wings of the hospital were filled with women dying from infections caused by botched abortions. It's clear that women who don't want to be pregnant won't be deterred by limited access to clinics. - Rozalyn Farmer Love

I sat in hospital rooms with young women who would look at me and say, "I can't be pregnant. I just couldn't carry his baby." I could feel their desperation. - Rozalyn Farmer Love

If only more people who "knew" all about abortion bothered to educate themselves they would see that much of the rhetoric used to whip up the masses into a frenzy is exaggerated bullshit. Reply

I am so happy that they found a person in college that is going to perfom abortions. I feel that if the mother's life is in danger then aborition is a viable option. the issue that is have is when it is used as a form of birth control. As much as everyone on these boards likes to tout abortion as the will of the people, it is not the will of the majority. Like I said, I guess I am more pro-life then choice, but if Roe v. Wade is followed and used when the mother's life is in danger then abortions are not so bad, but if it is used as form of birht control as indicated by realized that although "ending an unwanted pregnancy is a tragedy," it's far worse to deny "safe, competent care" to women, she writes in the Washington Post. then they are wrong.

This woman was never a Catholic in the mind of her church. She's a reed in the wind that blows in any direction "a backslider". The Church doesn't want her back if she becomes a baby killer....... As for this article its about favoring the pro-choice movement......... It should read......... See, many Catholic's believe abortion is Ok. So, all of you Pro-lifers need to jump on board with with us pro-choicers, because Catholic's are moving away from there church on this issue.......Ask these women who had aborted. Would you abort again? I wonder how many woman would never abort again. I'm betting a lot of women would not abort again, under any circumstances....... In the end: Aborting is taking a life? ........think about it........ Reply

rightthing. Thanks for taking the time to write better this time. You seem to have graduated from elementary school and moved staright into high school. ................... However, how can you speak for the Catholic Church? You tip your hat in the first sentence. After that, you express the ideas of a simpleton -- caricaturing those whom you don't agree with you as "reeds in the wind." It appears Rozalyn Farmer Love did not go to a party, get high with a bunch of hippies, then say she doesn't want to fight abortion anymore (like a reed in the wind). No she went to med-school and studied and deepened her understanding of the issue (like a big ship slowly changing course). Maybe you could take a lesson from her willingness to try to understand others -- instead of just dismissing them and saying they never really were Catholics or Republicans anyway. You're just trapping yourself in a failing philosophy with these excuses. ................. So we know have RINO's and CINO's (thanks to rightthing). What's next? AINO's -- Americans In Name Only?

I too am staunchly prolife but Jesus will always take any of His prodigal sons and daughters back.We are all struggling sinners I pray that some day this confused Catholic lass will realise abortion is a serious sin and seek forgiveness for her participation in this practice and reconcile with the Church.God is unfailingly merciful He knows some women were frightened and confused Pregnancy with the body chemistry changing combined with a lack of support from others can make it difficult for some women to think calmly and clearly. I would urge anyone who has had an abortion or has aided someone else to have one to contact Rachel's Vineyard for compassionate support to help them recover from this sadly irrevocable decision.

Your turn - the article states "She was shocked to learn that pro-life groups' description of partial-birth abortion is "misleading and graphically politicized," and even more dismayed that her peers "were puzzled that a pro-choice group was talking about wanting to reduce abortions." - have you done ANY research on why a woman might have to get a late term abortion?

Slow down, rightthing, you're clicking those keys faster than you're thinking. And you can "condone" abortion, but you can't "agree with abortion." That shows how you stereotype pro-choice supporters as actually being pro-abortion. They are not. ................. And about your "inside" knowledge on the Catholic Church, the info the rest of us are not privy to, consider this: "...Sixty-five percent of non-practicing Catholics identified themselves as "pro-choice" on abortion, compared to 36% of practicing Catholics..." http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2008-10-14-catholics-gays-abortion_N.htm A simple search of catholics percentage abortion n google turns up much more. Perhaps you should check some of your claims before turning your nose up at others next time. It seems you are simply wrong on some of your basic beliefs.

That is the depths of your understanding of this article, Mrs. K?

But when there is a med-school conversion of an anti-abortionist to being pro-choice, you can only think of money and subsidies? ................

Every woman I know who has had an abortion is relieved and glad she had it. Because Roe v. Wade became law and permitted abortions to be done in the care of a competent doctor, none of my friends and family who have had them, have suffered peritinitis or the near-fatal infection my grandmother contracted when she went to a back alley abortionist in the 40's. I hope there will be many other doctors like this young woman. Reply

prowlerzee, 'pro-life' women have abortions at the same rate as pro-choice women. The difference is that they pretend it never happened or tell themselves that their situation is different. Even Palin is pro-choice for her own family. She chose to keep Trig and Bristol chose to keep her baby.

As a Catholic I find it very sad to read this article The Church's teaching on abortion is crystal clear .I find this issue very difficult to fathom Each one of us began as a tiny collection of cells in a womb and we have been allowed to live yet we calmly discuss whether or not it is compassionate to deprive others of this right? What gives this generation or epoch in history the right to kill the babe in the womb? Abortion is never a choice It is always a death sentence for the babe and a life sentence for the mother because it goes against every natural womanly instinct which is to nuture and protect the young.I just don't understand it.
