Why Making Abortion Legal Made It More Dangerous

http://www.PriestsforLife.org Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, continues his series on preaching on abortion. In this video, Fr. Pavone explains that he often includes in his homily an example of why making abortion legal did not make it safe.

Fr. Pavone's reasoning for doing this is because "the other side that advocates abortion tries to make our people think that although it might be morally wrong, although it might even be the taking of the life of a child, nevertheless, it has to be kept legal because otherwise back ally abortionists will do all kinds of illegal things."

Fr. Pavone points out that "the only thing that changed when abortion was legalized, was that the back alley abortionists took their names off the back door and put them on the front." Fr. Pavone follows this up with a concrete example of Joy Davis, who administered six "safe and legal" abortion clinics in the United States. Fr. Frank helped her come into the Catholic Church after she rejected abortion. But in the clinics, she used to present herself as a doctor to her clients, even though she had never spent a single day in medical school. Moreover, she admitted that the clinics did not sterilize the instruments they used, because they just wanted to do as many abortion as possible in the shortest time possible.

"Legal does not mean safe," explains Fr. Pavone, "Let's make that clear to our people so they can stand with both the child and the child's parents."

i'm having an abortion because i dont want to bring a baby into a world where people like you exists. telling lies does not justify the means

[dickieho]

ppl like u are fucking the world.... go make up more stories about fake doctors just like how u live your life based off a fake supernatural fairy tail

Not all clinics are assembly line operations. There are doctors that do general OB GYN work and may do first trimester abortions on request of their existing patients. The reason that many clinics became assembly line operations is because of greed.

@Gowardh I am anti-abortion too, but you can't say things like that. calling other people a monster because they disagree does not help your cause or help that person convert to your cause. When you call someone a monster, that is called verbal bullying

[Gowardh]

@dbzman1985 Uh you blood thirsty fool you don't know anything. You are a man too, but you are man that is advocating the murder of 4000 human beings aday, that would have had a future, you are sick. Oh my bad your not a man, your a monster, a baby eating monster...

[Gowardh]

Man God bless you man some people are blood thirty and don't have any more conscious I don't see how anyone can justify the systematic murder of 4,000 unborn people a day. I mean you don't have an good in you, if you can do this. I pray that all of you say, I receive Jesus in my heart, and I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins, and arose from the dead, fill me with the Holy Spirit.

Sure, no generalization here. Your religion=/= The Constitution. Sorry.

The Catholic Church advocates virtual cannibalism with their host/wine = flesh/blood ritual, and wants you to focus on an instrument of torture as a 'guide' to spirituality. Indeed, they institutionalized the terrorizing of children. Nothing this man said was accurate either. So, really, what was the point of this video? What was the point.

What she was doing - performing a medical procedure under the pretense of having a license, but without actually having that license - is illegal. 

It's equivalent to how it would be illegal for me to buy prescriptions on the black market, sell them, and call myself a pharmacist. Even though the drugs are legal, the way I'm selling them is not, and it's not proper pharmacy.

In the same way, what this woman was doing is not the same as the safe abortions practiced in hospitals and clinics.
