Yesterday I put a photo on this site showing former Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop. In it he stated that in his thirty-six years of practice he had never witnessed a medical case where an abortion was mandatory to save the life of the mother. Then I started thinking about coat hangers. Liberals, for years, have claimed that the coat hanger was a necessary item for pregnant women who couldn't receive a legal abortion. Not being a woman I cringed at the thought of sticking a sharpened end of wire into my vagina to kill a child and damage my innards. Ouch! Do you know how this "lie" started? Well, you can attribute it to one man, Dr. Bernard Nathanson. The good doctor came up with the idea for the coat hanger propaganda. He was a New York doctor who worked with the Mother of the Feminist Movement, Betty Friedan, to bring about the passage of Roe v. Wade. Oh, he had help. Who can ever forget the Lion of the Senate, Theodore "Teddy" Kennedy speaking about abortion on the floor of the Senate? He was waving a coat hanger and bemoaning the fact that there had to be so many back alley abortions. This is the same Teddy Kennedy who murdered more people with his car than I have with my 12 gauge shot gun.
Dr. Nathanson, with the development of the sonogram in 1970, changed his tune about abortion. He had a conversion and created a movie that was anti-abort called "Silent Scream" detailing its heartless evils. He spent the rest of his life working as a Pro-Life advocate before he died in 2011.
There are two truths about abortion that need to be remembered today: abortion is not necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman. Pro-Abort folks, if they were honest, would say it's to save their convenient lifestyle. And finally, there has never been a documented case of any women using a coat hanger to perform an abortion-----ever!
