NARAL Pro-Choice Working to Bring Back Eugenics
Pro-Life Wisconsin
Lisa Subeck, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Wisconsin, had the following letter to the editor in the June 18 edition of the Wisconsin State Journal (read it online here.)
A year and a half has passed since Madison's only provider of abortion care between 19 and 22 weeks of pregnancy retired. Though a plan has been approved to offer abortions at Madison Surgery Center, a gap in reproductive health care remains because the center is not yet providing them.
What happens to a woman diagnosed with cancer who must terminate her pregnancy to receive lifesaving treatment? Or who learns a severe fetal anomaly will leave her baby unable to survive outside the womb? Or to the 14-year-old incest victim, too ashamed to tell anyone she's pregnant until she can no longer hide it?
Women seeking abortions late in the second trimester generally face desperate circumstances and difficult choices. Without this service available here, they must travel to Milwaukee or Chicago for the care they need.
No woman faced with terminating her pregnancy under dire circumstances should have to travel to receive care away from her family, doctors and support system. This is the real story of the gap in abortion care in Madison.
This is nothing more than Hitler’s eugenics gone mainstream. Lest we forget, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger advocated for eugenics against the disabled, Catholics and minorities.
Pro-Life Wisconsin opposes abortion in ALL cases. The circumstances of a person’s conception or physical or mental abilities do not determine one’s worth. In the case of fetal abnormality, when abortion is used to do away with a disability, it is discrimination of the most severe kind. These children are not merely discriminated against for their disability; they are killed because of it. Abortions in these cases raise frightening prospects, for if it is right to kill a disabled person in the womb, could it not then be permissible to kill a disabled infant? A disabled adult? The answer is clearly “no” in those cases; why is there any question when the victim is a child in the womb? Preborn children diagnosed with disabilities deserve to be treated with the same respect as people born with or without a disability. Every person, born or unborn, has the same worth in God’s eyes.
Furthermore, Subeck's claim that "Madison's only provider of abortion care between 19 and 22 weeks of pregnancy retired" is not true. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin admitted in its Fall 2009 newsletter (click here for the PDF) that abortionist Dennis Christiansen was not retiring and would be performing abortions at least four days a month in Milwaukee and Rockford, Ill. Sidewalk counselors at the Madison Planned Parenthood, located on Orin Road, observed Christiansen entering the abortuary this past week.
