Here's an amazing story of Stojan Adasevic who used to perform 20-30 abortions per day for many years. His life changed when he was haunted by a recurring dream of children running in terror from him. More amazing is that a monk who identified himself as Thomas Aquinas appeared in this dream to tell him these children were the babies he had killed. He reports that he had never heard of a Thomas Aquinas.

Here's a video of part of his testimony.

That's an amazing story!

What a great grace that he was given these dreams! Would that other abortion providers and politicians would have similar ones.

Dr. Bernard Nathanson was an abortion doctor in NYC who operated the world's largest abortion clinic and became a heavy hitter for abortion rights. Poor guy was responsible for 75,000 abortions until ultra-sound images changes his heart and mind.

Nathanson is director of Silent Scream and author of Aborting America. We honor his incredible courage and hard work for the pro-life movement.

-------------------
The unborn child’s recoiling at the abortionist’s instrument was...visible in the film. “Ultrasound imaging has allowed us to see this,” Nathanson said. “And so for the first time, we are going to watch a child being torn apart, dismembered, disarticulated, crushed and destroyed by the unfeeling, steel instruments of the abortionist.”

As the abortionist’s tool punctures the amniotic sac and reaches the child, he added, “we can see the silent scream of a child threatened eminently with extinction.”

For anyone watching the film, the evidence of the unborn child’s humanity would seem overwhelming, and the evil of abortion unmistakable.

The article portrays him as a bit like Paul on the road to Damascus, persecutor turned life-long advocate for pro-life. I like this comment about his moral courage:

---------------------------------
Nathanson came to his pro-life convictions more than a decade before he came to a religious faith. Jewish by background, he grew up a self-proclaimed atheist. He stopped doing abortions in the late 1970s. It was only afterward, seeking to understand his former life, that he began to read the “literature of sin,” he said. After several years of counseling by a priest, he was baptized a Catholic in December 1996.

...we should applaud a man who had the moral courage to admit that he was wrong on such a life-and-death matter. It cannot have been easy for such a high-profile advocate of abortion rights to re-think – and then publically renounce – that about which he had felt so strongly.

Having turned from that which was evil, Nathanson also moved to face his guilt. Unlike much of his life, that was done privately, and with the help of spiritual counsel. But that must also have taken great courage.

Dr. Nathanson died recently. May he rest in Christ's Eternal Peace.

Here's a clip of The Silent Scream.

In this video, Nathanson talks about the big money and criminal aspect of abortion as well as the lack of informed consent to women, a profoundly unethical way to practice 'medicine':

Healing can only come through repentance, like these former abortion doctors report.

This is true for women, but also many, many men need to repent for abortion, even if they were never part of the decision. Yet they were part of the problem of an unwanted pregnancy. When I evaluate men for therapy, I often ask if they have any reason to believe that they were responsible for an abortion.

Why? Because I am sure unrepentant sin, even if you don't feel/believe you've sinned, is harmful to your soul and psyche. I see women suffer from problems that result from unrepentant abortions. Of course, it's just one in many factors woven together, but abortion hurts women deeply. It's a lie that will never die. And only Christ Jesus can heal this wound, because He's the only one with authority to forgive sins.
--------------------------
The need for repentance has not been greater since the Supreme Court decision of Roe vs. Wade in 1973.

Not unlike God's chosen people of Israel, we must
humble ourselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from
our wicked ways, if we expect God to hear from heaven,
forgive our sin, and heal our land.

The number one cause of death in America is the needless sacrifice of our children the altar of
convenience called abortion.

Conservative estimates
put the number of deaths at nearly 52 million.

And lest we think this is an issue outside the church
walls, 43 percent of women obtaining abortions
identify themselves as Protestant, and 27 percent
identify themselves as Catholic.

One in four women has at least one abortion
by the age of 45 -- both
non-Christian and Christian alike. Where was the voice
of Truth -- the church?
