Carolyn Payne grew up in a good Christian home with
loving parents and opportunities to make the most of her life.
Instead, she decided to become an abortion doctor.
Payne, an Ob/Gyn resident (pictured above), wrote a
shockingly bold column for the women’s website XO Jane about how her faith and
upbringing influenced her to abort unborn babies for a living. Through her
experiences, Payne flaunted her career goal and what she perceived as the
importance of training programs for abortion doctors in the U.S.
“I love providing abortion care to women, and I am proud
to do so,” Payne wrote, adding that she and many of her colleagues are “not
afraid, embarrassed or ashamed to say so.”
Payne explained: Who wants to be an abortion provider?
I do. And I don’t have a nose-ring or a tattoo. I’m a 5’
blonde from Ohio and my last boyfriend was a pastor. In fact my Midwest, Christian
upbringing is largely responsible for my belief that providing abortion
services is one of the most meaningful ways I feel I can contribute to making
the world a more fair and equal place for women.
… I never experienced unplanned pregnancy because I was
fortunate enough to have parents who understood the normalcy of teenage
sexuality, and provided me education and opportunities to prevent undesired
pregnancy and disease. I could have sex, just like a man could, and go on with
my life, with minimal fear of life-changing consequences (i.e. unwanted
pregnancy).
I realize this is a privilege in our society and that is
unjust. All women who desire contraception should have it; it’s necessary for
women to be able to achieve their goals. Not because women are sluts, but
because women are humans, and humans do have sex.
Payne clearly is very proud of her abortion work. In one
revolting admission, she openly admitted that aborting an unborn baby for the
first time made her and other abortion doctors-in-training “feel good” — though
Payne never mentioned unborn babies in her column. She wrote:
To us, abortion training was something we advocated for
in medical school, and actively sought out in our residency training programs.
To us, abortion training was exciting, because it meant we were developing the
skills necessary to provide women with safe reproductive healthcare. To many of
us, the decision to receive training in abortion wasn’t “agonizing” at all as a
recent corresponding piece in Yahoo! Health described. Rather, providing our
first MVA [manual vacuum aspiration abortion] was a “feel good procedure,”
because we had successfully performed an intervention that changed a woman’s
life for the better!
No where did Payne mention what happens to the unborn
child in an MVA abortion – how the unborn baby’s body is crushed and sliced and
then suctioned out of the mother’s womb. Then the baby’s body parts are
typically put into a bowl to make sure they are all there. This gruesome
killing procedure was “exciting” to Payne.
But her shocking admissions did not end there. Payne
argued that abortion makes life more “fair” for women who did not have the
education or resources to prevent their pregnancies or simply thought a baby
would get in the way of their education or career. She also claimed that abortions
are “fair” to children:
And most importantly, I think it is fair to children,
that they are born into a world where they are wanted, and loved, and cared
for, and have the resources they need to thrive. I think abortion is a social
good and a tremendous way in which physicians can contribute to a more socially
just world.
Payne concluded with thoughts about possibly becoming
pregnant in the future. Abortion is already in her mind if her “pregnancy” does
not turn out as expected (no mention of her unborn child)– “I hope that my
doctor will put my life and health first.”
That means I hope my doctor is trained to terminate
pregnancies. I hope they get that training in medical school, residency,
fellowship, and beyond. I also hope they feel good about it, because it is a
good thing. Saving women’s lives, and enabling women to have both the public
and private life she desires is a very good thing.
Payne’s musings are a disquieting look at how abortion
doctors justify their horrific treatment – by completely ignoring the humanity
of the unborn child.
