Emily reflects on the LATimes article about protests at Tiller’s mill that I blogged below

I have worked with some of Dr Tillers patients. None of the abortions I know of were performed “for the physical health of the mother” . I guess he feels like killing your baby before birth saves your mental health (which by the way can mean anything and does mean you can abort for any reason.) These women would be the first to tell you that. I have even seen the pictures he has taken of the aborted babies with their parents in his attempt to make it all seem compassionate and ok. Of course, it is not. In some cases, the baby would have died within a certain time after birth…as if that justifies killing it ahead of time! These, women, who were distraught because of things they were told during their pregnancy, trusted the doctors and gave in to the procedure even when something inside of them knew it was not right. Don’t we all do that at times…trust who we think is acting in our best interest. Of course, they later found this to be far from true.
