"Abortion has always been viewed as kind of a subterranean thing. [Children] don't walk around saying, 'My father is an abortionist.’
... it's boring, it's repetitious, it's not particularly technically or intellectually demanding and it's not very well paid."

-Garson Romalis, abortionist, Vancouver Sun: October 20, 1997

"That's how the anti's are going to win. They are not going to win in the legislatures unless they get lucky. They are going to win by attrition, because fewer and fewer doctors will perform abortions."

-Herbert Hodes, abortionist, Glamour: September 1991

While in Washington, DC this past January, I was given a copy of a new document produced by the ever-creative head of Life Dynamics, Inc, Mark Crutcher. "Access: the key to pro-life victory" is a marvel to behold.  A marvel because Crutcher has done what most pro-life groups have neglected to do - actually write down a strategy on how to win the abortion battle.
Some Background:

Last October under a veil of secrecy, the pro-abortion movement in British Columbia sponsored a "Medical Symposium" for UBC medical students - pleading with attendees that their hopes and dreams of a medical career would be best fulfilled by working as an abortionist. 

It was the predictable bleep of a terminally ill patient gasping for a few, final breaths. Garson Romalis' revelation on how fun it can be to kill children (those with high IQ's need not apply) was fascinating. Fascinating because he never mentioned it in the symposium, but in the safety of an interview with the Vancouver Sun.

But despite Romalis being a PR failure in his attempt to recruit innocent young minds for his grisly trade, it was a sign to those of us in the movement that the abortion industry itself has given us the keys to victory.

The Canadian Abortion Right Action League along with good old Henry Morgentaler announced just a few weeks ago a special "fund" that will be used to see to ensure medical students are taught the intellectual stimulation of taking human life through abortion.

Medical Students for Choice has even set up shop at the University of British Columbia ... so terrified is the dying patient of drowning in their own success.

 The National Abortion Federation, the trade association of both American and Canadian abortionists, also laments the "graying of the abortion provider." The fact that all the abortionists are getting on in years ... and no young whipper-snapper is eager to take their place, strikes terror in an industry that has little regard for the innocence of life before birth.

Now, the typical response from the abortion industry is that all these youngsters are afraid of getting shot so they just don't want to get involved. Crutcher's publication shoots holes in that nonsense.

The reality is that since the beginning of time, there has been a stigma attached to being an abortionist. Not all the symposiums in the world can change that. Not all the teachings funds, makeup, directives, orders, jail sentences, bubble zones, etc. will ever change that fact. As Australian abortionist David Grundmann stated at a NAF seminar in 1993:  "...abortion is still a very fringe-type practice. There aren't a lot of people who want to get into abortion provision ... And the ones that we do have applying to us for training often have very dodgy histories and backgrounds. And if you dig deep enough, you'll find a death or two or a malpractice suit or a de-registration somewhere along the line."

Crutcher's book is packed full of secret quotes, provided by the abortion industry themselves, on how terrible it is to get good help, and how the industry seems to attract the slime of society. Like some old-time comedian, they then lament that "I get no respect.”

He then maps out a strategy to use this information in a quest to dry up the pool of abortionists. Life Dynamics provides all the tools you need to dry up this pool. From video tapes, postcards, malpractice data, to strategies on applying this information in your own community.

Based on what Canadian abortionists are saying and their real fear of becoming extinct, it's a strategy we need to look more closely at implementing.

A few well placed, very public malpractice lawsuits -  and I suspect that even more abortionists will make the wise "choice" - and retire.

But even more, the underworld of the abortionist is not pretty. As a closet historian, I know this to be true ... society itself has said some pretty nasty things about physicians who perform abortions ... but what is truly amazing today, is the fact that the medical community still thinks of the abortionist as "dirty.” As one medical student stated in Ohio: "They do abortions, they don't do real medicine."

It's time for us to spread that message around.
