The following comes from a November 18 Rewire article by Diana Friedman:
A patient asked me during her abortion procedure how I felt about the election outcome. The word “sad” just slipped past my lips. We must organize now to fight like hell for the next four years to protect women’s basic rights.
I woke up last Wednesday, November 9, like many Americans, with feelings of emptiness and dread in my stomach, my eyelids crusted from tears and a night of restless sleep.
After about an hour of self-indulgent scrolling through social media posts and news articles, I moved forward. I had a shift scheduled at the abortion clinic where I work as a physician. And I knew that my patients, the clinic administration, reproductive rights advocates, and Hillary Clinton would want me to get out of bed and go, and to do what I had set out to do.
The subject of the election came up with a few of my patients. One young couple asked what a Trump presidency would mean for the right to an abortion. I had to admit that I didn’t know, but that, at least today, her right to end a pregnancy was still intact.
Another patient asked me during her abortion procedure how I felt about the election outcome. Without pausing to reflect on whether it was inappropriate to answer this question honestly, the word “sad” just slipped past my lips. An awkward silence followed, and I asked how she felt. She stated that she didn’t really care, as she didn’t like either candidate and didn’t feel like there was a difference between them.
I shuddered with the realization that many women and men of this country do not understand the extent to which reproductive freedom will likely be under attack in the new administration. I thought about how often I have heard Trump promising actions that might overturn Roe v. Wade or affect access to the very procedure I was performing, even possibly jailing patients like her and providers like me if abortion is made illegal.
My thoughts drifted to my 2-year-old daughter, whom I assumed would spend her early childhood years under the leadership of our nation’s first female president. Instead, she will almost certainly grow up in a culture where the president degrades women, where politicians try to control our lives and bodies. That morning before work, when I walked into her room, she beamed up at me, still hot from her sweaty toddler sleep. I immediately teared up at her sheer innocence, her innate desire to express and receive kindness.
All day, in between patients, I glanced at social media and opinion pieces that made two distinct points about the path forward. The first spoke of coming together, of healing our nation from this vociferous election that has divided us so dramatically, of finding compromise with our fellow Americans.
This message does not resonate with me. I am confident in this moment that I share no ideological common ground with Donald Trump and those of his supporters who wish to severely restrict reproductive rights in a presidency ruled by misogyny.
Hillary, selfishly left every single one of her “women’s rights” supporters, sobbing and hanging in the lurch on election night. These supporters blindly sacrificed for Hillary’s evil agenda and Hillary’s true colors were exposed even more. Instead, of waking up. this abortionist still prefers to remain in a “sad” dark stupor and this abortionist’s chosen remedy for her “sadness?” Get up and go to work to please Hillary and kill more babies. This abortion provider is not “sad” just because Hillary wasn’t elected. This abortion provider is “sad” because her own deadened conscience is being pricked again.

Misery, loves company and if Hillary would have become the President, then they all could validate one another’s misery and lies. Yes, If Hillary, had become the President, then this abortionist would easily continue her delusional thinking that she is actually helping women. Yes, look at the incredible disconnect in this abortionist’s thinking! It’s absolutely astounding. First, this abortionist refers to her own innocent two year old daughter’s innate desire to express and receive kindness. Then, she robotically talks about getting right back to work so she can please Hillary by ripping apart someone else’s defenseless unborn baby girl. All, done under the lie of labeling murder a “reproductive right.”
continued…
It never once crosses this abortionist’s mind that the innocent, defenseless baby that is being aborted also had an innate desire to “express and receive kindness”. This is what happens when the truth is exchanged for lies like “pro-choice” or “reproductive rights.” One day, this abortionist’s daughter might grow up and “sadly” ask her mother, “How were you ever able to kill so many innocent, defenseless babies who also had an innate desire to express and receive kindness?”
Well said Catherine. The killing of an unborn baby child is now called a reproductive right. May God have mercy on the soul of this particular woman who thinks an abortion is a reproductive right. That unborn baby child you are killing is a human life from conception to a natural death. The election of President Elect Donald Trump may be the last opportunity for America to stop all abortions of unborn baby children and put pro-life justices on the Supreme Court of America. The mark of a great nation is how it treats the least of its citizens. Pray America Pray for God is waiting for your answer to ending this genocide against innocent defenseless unborn baby children.
There was a famous story regarding Saint Mother Teresa and Hillary Clinton when then Mother Teresa visited the United States more than 20 years ago. The conversation between Clinton and Mother Teresa went like this. To paraphrase Hillary Clinton said to Mother Teresa when will there be a female President? Mother Teresa replies she’s probably been aborted. Over 60 million unborn baby children have been aborted since Roe versus Wade became law in 1973. Just think of all the terrific potential that has been aborted. Pray America Pray?
This “lady doctor” certainly does not practice medicine by the Oath of Hippocrates! She is a bloody BABY BUTCHER, with a SICK political agenda– extermination of immoral women’s so-called “unwanted babies!” This unprofessional, CRIMINAL BABY BUTCHER ought to have her medical license revoked– she belongs in JAIL!! Hitler had a SICK political agenda, too– extermination of the “unwanted” Jews!
