The undercover video is chilling. Lila Rose from the pro-life organization Live Action is at a Planned Parenthood location in Austin TX, pretending to be a pregnant woman inquiring about the possibility of aborting her unborn baby if it turns out to be a girl.
Here's part of the response from the Planned Parenthood counselor: “I see that you’re saying that you want to terminate if it’s a girl, so are you just wanting to continue the pregnancy in the meantime? The abortion covers you up until 23 weeks, and usually at 5 months is usually (sic) when they detect, you know, whether or not it’s a boy or a girl.”
The counselor's tone is in the same helpful and friendly customer service manner you'd hear from a banker, a real estate agent or optometrist. Please visit www.liveaction.org to view undercover videos at Planned Parenthood locations.

| Fetus at 20 weeks (5 months) |
January 22nd marks 40 years since the U. S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 that decriminalized abortion. From 1973 to 2011, over 54 million abortions took place in the United States. That comes to an average of one abortion every 26 seconds. Think about that.
Shortly after the shooting massacre at the primary school in Newtown CT, President Obama fought back tears as he read his official response at a news conference. I don't doubt the President's emotions on that occasion, but where were his tears in 2001 to 2003 when as an Illinois state senator he thrice opposed the Born Alive Infants Protection Act?
The purpose of the act was to require doctors and medical staff to provide medical care to infants born alive after an attempted abortion. During legislative hearings in the Illinois state senate a nurse testified that at the hospital where she worked, babies born alive after attempted abortions were left to die on a shelf in a utility room.
Here is part of the testimony of Jill L. Stanek, RN, before the Illinois Senate Health & Human Services Committee on March 12 2003 (the name of the hospital is ironic, don't you think?):
When I worked at the hospital, in the event that a baby was aborted alive, he or she was not given any medical care but was rather given what the hospital calls "comfort care." "Comfort care" is defined as keeping the baby warm in a blanket until the baby dies, although until recently even this was not always done. Until recently if staff or parents did not have time or inclination to hold the dying aborted baby, the baby was taken to the Soiled Utility Room and left there alone to die.
It is not uncommon for live aborted babies to linger for an hour or two or even longer. One of these babies once lived for almost an entire eight-hour shift. In the year 2001, of the 13 babies I am aware of who were aborted at Christ Hospital, at least four lived between 1-1/2 to 3 hours, two boys and two girls.
One night, a nursing co-worker was taking an aborted Down's syndrome baby who was born alive to our Soiled Utility Room because his parents did not want to hold him, and she did not have time to hold him. I could not bear the thought of this suffering child dying alone in a Soiled Utility Room, so I cradled and rocked him for the 45 minutes that he lived. He was 21 to 22 weeks old, weighed about ½ pound, and was about 10 inches long. He was too weak to move very much, expending any energy he had trying to breathe. Toward the end he was so quiet that I couldn't tell if he was still alive unless I held him up to the light to see if his heart was still beating through his chest wall. After he was pronounced dead, we folded his little arms across his chest, wrapped him in a tiny shroud, and carried him to the hospital morgue where all of our dead patients are taken.
Senator Obama argued that if the aborted infant born alive was recognized as a person with the right to live, than logically all fetuses would have to be recognized as such. Therefore the Born Alive Infants Protection Act would in effect ban abortions and so he opposed it on (supposed) consitutional grounds. He didn't shed one tear.
According to surveys by The Alan Guttmacher Institute, which is pro-choice and affiliated with Planned Parenthood, 74% of women who have abortions say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or other responsibilities.
Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta said this: "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you can live as you wish."

A Prayer for Abortion Victims
Prayer for all victims of abortion. May those involved in abortions be reconciled to God and may the innocent dead be saved.
Holy Mother of God and of the
Church, our Lady of Guadalupe, you were chosen by the Father for the Son through
the Holy Spirit.
You are the Woman clothed with the sun who
labors to give birth to Christ while Satan, the Red Dragon, waits to voraciously
devour your child.
So too did Herod seek to destroy your Son,
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and massacred many innocent children in the
process.
So today does abortion kill many innocent unborn children and
exploit many mothers in its attack upon human life and upon the Church, the
Body of Christ.
Mother of the Innocents, we praise God in
you for His gifts to you of your Immaculate Conception, your freedom from actual
sin; your fullness of grace, your Motherhood of God and the Church, your
Perpetual Virginity and your Assumption in body and soul into heaven.
O Help of Christians, we beg you to protect
all mothers of the unborn and the children within their wombs. We plead with you
for your help to end the holocaust of abortion. Melt hearts so that life may be
revered!
Holy Mother, we pray to your Sorrowful and
Immaculate Heart for all mothers and all unborn children that they may have life
here on earth and by the most Precious Blood shed by your Son that they may have
eternal life with Him in heaven. We also pray to your Sorrowful and Immaculate
Heart for all abortionists and all abortion supporters that they may be
converted and accept your Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Defend
all of your children in the battle against Satan and all of the evil spirits in
this present darkness.
We desire that the innocent unborn children
who die without Baptism should be baptized and saved. We ask that you obtain
this grace for them and repentance, reconciliation and pardon from God for their
parents and their killers.
Let there be revealed, once more, in the
history of the world the infinite power of merciful love. May it put an end to
evil. May it transform consciences. May your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart
reveal for all the light of hope. May Christ the King reign over us, our
families, cities, states, nations and the whole of humanity.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary,
hear our pleas and accept this cry from our hearts!
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Protectress of the
Unborn, Pray for us!
So today does abortion kill many innocent unborn children and exploit many mothers in its attack upon human life and upon the Church, the Body of Christ.
