That’s the “procedure” in which Carhart seizes the unborn child while still in her mother’s womb and pulls her writhing body into the birth canal, all but her head. Then, Carhart stabs her in the back of the skull with scissors, thrusts in a catheter, and sucks out her brains. He finally pulls the unborn child’s lifeless completely body out of the birth canal and dispatches her, probably to an onsite crematorium.
Tiller was once described by an ex-bookkeeper as he came down the stairs of his abortion center. He carried a large cardboard box. Coming to a locked door across the hall from the bookkeeper, he balanced the box on one knee while he fished in his pocket for his keys. As the door creaked open, the bookkeeper said she could see the oven door of his crematorium before he quickly closed and locked the door to this particular chamber of horrors.
Warren Hern was not at that Cedar Crest dinner. But he’s another late-term abortionist. Here’s how he describes what he does: “The sensations of dismemberment flow through the forceps like an electric current.” Hern told the New York Times he was working late one day in his facility. He called a friend, a fellow abortionist, to ask a question. Where are you, the friend asked? In my office, Hern replied. “Still killing babies this late on a New Year’s Eve,” the friend inquired. Hern complained that “there is a horror at what I do,” even among fellow abortionists. And he added that his friend’s question “went through me like a knife.”
Well, that pain was not quite as sharp as Warren Hern’s own knife. Or LeRoy Carhart’s. Or the knives and forks at Governor Sebelius’ cannibal picnic at Cedar Crest.
Think of Secretary Sebelius’ dinner partners when you think how much power Harry Reid’s bill will give her. These are the people who put She Who Must be Obeyed in power. These are the kind of people with whom she dined and felt no horror.
We must defeat Harry Reid’s bill.
