The Real Victims Are the Unborn Children She Murdered
Nor is she a "Catholic" as she claims. & once again we see how the once proud New York Times is willing to trade being the "newspaper of record" for being the newspaper promoting the agnda of the "culture of death".
& given how easy the claims of her harrassment can be refuted you would think the NYT would want to avoid another scandal like so many others they have had in recent years with reporters being shown to have make things up.
Of course the claims of victimhood aren't the only lies & falsehhods in the article. For instance the line " SINCE BEFORE THE days of Roe v. Wade, a small number of doctors have quietly provided abortions in their offices (often only for patients with health insurance or who pay out of pocket)." They reality is quite diffferent the the NYT knows it. They ignore the reality of the reason behind the term "back alley abortion". Yes, the doctors were quiet about it, but that was because it was illegal to do what they were doing. & since it was illegal more often than not, insurance wouldn't cover it & the women paid out of pocket. & those back alley abortions at the doctors' offices were where most of the deaths from botched abortions came from as well.
Then there is this: "After Roe, the shadow of the greedy, butchering “abortionist” continued to hover, and many doctors didn’t want to stand in it." The facts are simple, the shadow hovered because as has been proven so many times, that shadow reflected reality. (I've covered that fact so often I won't go into it here.)
Another bit from the article shows the NYT's attempt to attack the Catholic Church as well. It is interesting to see that except for Godfrey & a nurse named Ann the religion of the people involved in the abortion industry isn't mentioned. Ann is a nurse for an abortionist who also claims to be Catholic. "Ann (her middle name) is a Catholic grandmother who celebrates Mass every Sunday. She was adamantly opposed to abortion." The article goes on to tell how she compromised her faith. She may claim to be a good Catholic, but the fact that she is willing to work for an abortionist as well the fact that she praises him for being so good shows me that she sold her soul for a few dollars of pay. & makes her claim she opposes abortion suspect as well.
& of course the article attacks Crisis Pregnancy Centers as well by spreading the lie that they give "out wrong information like tying abortion to breast cancer or infertility or mental illness." The fact that study after study has proven all 3 to be true is conveniently ignored. & the article also misrepresents the 2006 Congressional investigation it refers to as backing up the lies. That investigation was done at the request of Rep Henry Waxman who is a pro-abortion Democrat. In addition, the Dems were the minority party back then. Also, it was done with a political agenda, to undermine Pres. Bush's funding of CPCs. FYI Waxman has gotten money as well as endorsements from Planned Parenthood's PACs. So his pushing this study was done as a quid pro quo for Planned Parenthood. That the CDC & other groups are pro-abort & have ignored/denied the data as well forms the basis for the report claiming what it does.
The NYT article is a prime example of its anti-Catholic, anti-life, pro-"culture of death" agenda that permeated not only the NYT but the Main Stream Media for the most part as well. In the short run, they may sell a few people the lies they are peddling. But in the end, they will find out that they have ended up on the wrong side of history, just like so many others who choose evil over God.

NEW YORK, July 23, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The author of a recent New York Times article on modern abortion providers may have made a strategic misstep in the abortionist that she chose to feature, if her intent was to paint a sympathetic picture of abortion practitioners. The lengthy article shines the spotlight on abortionist Emily Godfrey, who worked for several years at what may be the United States' most bizarre abortion clinic - the Northern Illinois Women's Center (NIWC) in Rockford, Illinois.
While Godfrey attempted to paint a grim picture of a threatening crowd of pro-lifers who allegedly “surrounded” her as she walked to and from the notorious Rockford abortion facility, one of the leaders in the Rockford pro-life movement has countered that the claim is demonstrably baseless. Kevin Rilott has pointed out that pro-lifers are not even allowed on the property of NIWC, let alone able to approach anywhere near the abortionists.
LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) has frequently reported on NIWC's use of vicious, threatening and blasphemous messages, evidently meant to intimidate the pro-life protesters outside. The abortuary was only recently in the news, after a staff member emerged from the building wielding a running chainsaw, with which he attempted to drown out the voices of pro-life counselors.
On another occasion the owner, Wayne Webster, was caught on camera communicating over the clinic’s outdoor PA system with an enraged local pro-abort with a pit-bull in tow, who was confronting the pro-life protesters. After the antagonist, by the name of Keith Sterkeson, had called the pro-lifer who was videotaping the encounter a "ni**er" 19 times, shouted the word "f**k" at him 36 times, and called him a "degenerate" 16 times, Webster warned Sterkeson that he had heard over his police scanner that the police were on their way. He also assured Sterkeson that he was acting no crazier than these “a**holes” (the pro-lifers).
In the recent NYT article, however, abortionist Emily Godfrey complained to the author, Emily Bazelon, about the pressure caused by the presence of the pro-life witnesses when she worked at NIWC.
“I’m a Catholic girl from the suburbs. I’m a yoga student. I like calm and serenity," Godfrey said.
Throughout the time Godfrey was working there, NIWC was undoubtedly anything but "calm and serene." In addition to the two encountes mentioned above, the chilling displays erected in the windows of the building, which continue to grow, include a nun in a coffin, a crucified rubber chicken, and rubber chickens hanging from nooses. Another sign in the window of the facility suggests that the abortionists have conducted "50,000" abortions while Jesus Christ (presumably through the actions of the pro-life counselors) has saved only "50" children; other signs direct personal insults at individual pro-lifers.
Bazelon, describing Godfrey's account of life at NIWC, wrote that, "Protesters surrounded her when she walked into the clinic." "One day, a clinic resident left his lunch in the car and said he’d rather be hungry than go back to get it," wrote Bazelon.
Godfrey left the mill in 2008 to work at the University of Illinois: "By taking jobs on university faculties, the young doctors avoid walking to work through a scrum of screaming demonstrators," Bazelon explained.
However, Rockford pro-life veteran Kevin Rilott said that the crowd of pro-life witnesses that have kept vigil outside the bizarre abortuary for years are peaceful and, since they unable even to enter the clinic parking lot, can do nothing but pray and offer help from a distance to women entering the clinic.
"As any of you know who have prayed at Rockford's abortion mill, the Christians who stand on the sidewalks at this mill literally can not get within 200 feet of a person who is walking into the building," wrote Rilott on his blog.
"Abortionist Godfrey parked in the back of the mill lot so pro-lifers could hardly even see her, let alone 'surround her,'" he added.
Rilott also took issue with Godfrey's account of her disappointment at the number of living children she delivered to poor women in Chicago – an experience that she says prompted her to pursue a career killing the unborn.
"Bringing so many unwanted children into the world, or children who wouldn’t be readily provided for because their mothers were on drugs or who were taken away at birth — well, that just solidified my feeling that I wanted to provide abortions,” Godfrey told Bazelon. She said she had tried, but failed, to stem the problem by giving poor women IUDs just after delivery - and was only thwarted by Medicaid's refusal to cover the second procedure.
"Considering that she was working in Rockford at an abortion mill that hung rubber chickens by nooses that offended African Americans," said Rilott, "this seems like another statement from a eugenics-minded person whose answer to African Americans living in poverty was not to eliminate the poverty, but to eliminate the African Americans."
