Life: Dr. Kathi Aultman's Conversion Story: From Abortion Provider to Pro-Life Advocate from Pro-Life Utah [VIDEO]
Here’s some quotes from the video:
I 'm Dr. Kathi Aultman.
00:03
I am a retired OBGYN, and I used to be an abortionist.
00:09
And I'd like to tell you the story of how I went from being someone who aborted babies
00:15
to someone who now tries to save babies.
00:19
After college I took a year off to make money to go to medical school.
00:25
During that time I met my future husband and I got pregnant.
00:29
And decided that abortion was the best option for me.
00:34
Later I regretted that decision, but at the time, I thought that was the best thing I
00:38
should do.
00:40
When I entered medical school, I truly believed that abortion was a woman's right to choose,
00:49
and I was very adamant about it.
00:51
I wanted to help women.
00:54
During my training, I learned how to do D&C; with suction abortions, and then I sought
01:07
out extra training to be able to do D&E; abortions, or dismemberment abortions.
01:22
After getting my medical license I was able to start moonlighting doing abortions at a
01:28
clinic in a nearby city.
01:30
I got pregnant during the last year of my residency, and during that time, I still continued
01:38
to do abortions.
01:40
And really didn't have any qualms about it.
01:43
I felt that my baby was wanted, their babies were not, I didn't see any problem with that.
01:50
What did change my mind, was when I went back to the clinic after delivering my baby.
01:58
I ran into three patients that changed my life.
02:02
With the first patient, I realized that I had done three of her previous abortions.
02:09
And when I objected, and didn't want to do it, staff told me that I didn't have that
02:14
right.
02:15
That it was her right to choose.
02:17
Even if she wanted to use abortion as her birth control.
02:20
She had the abortion, I talked to her there afterwards.
02:23
She still did not want to use birth control.
02:26
And wanted to use abortion as her backup.
02:28
The second patient came in with a friend.
02:31
And oftentimes the patients did want to see the tissue.
02:36
The friend asked her, "Do you want to see the tissue?"
02:39
And she snapped at her and said, "I don't want to see it, I just want to kill it."
02:45
And I wanted to say, "What did this baby ever do to you?"
02:49
The last patient had four children already, and she and her husband felt that they just
03:00
couldn't afford another child.
03:03
So, she cried throughout the whole time at the clinic.
03:08
It just broke my heart.
03:10
It was at that point that somehow, I made the baby/fetus connection.
03:18
And the fact that the baby was not wanted, was no longer enough for me to do the abortion.
03:25
I never did another abortion.
03:30
The only time I had any qualms other than that, was when I did my neonatal intensive
03:35
care unit rotation.
03:38
And I realized that some of the babies I was trying to save, were the same gestation as
03:45
babies that I had aborted.
03:47
The problem is, that I still believed that a women had the right to choose abortion.
03:53
I still believed in abortion.
03:56
And I still referred patients for an abortion.
04:00
As I began my practice though, I noticed that there were women who kept their unwanted pregnancies,
04:11
even very young girls, and they seemed to do fine.
04:16
And then I was seeing other women who had abortions, who were coming in with psychological
04:23
problems, and being extremely distressed.
04:26
I was also seeing complications of abortion.
04:31
And this didn't jive with the feminist rhetoric that I had so closely embraced.
04:38
So I began to be a little uncomfortable.
04:44
What finally changed me, was a very loving friend gave me an article.
04:51
Said, "Would you consider reading this?
04:53
I know what your position on abortion is, but could you just read this?"
04:57
It was an article that compared abortion to the Holocaust.
05:04
Suddenly I realized that I was no different from the German doctors who did horrible experiments
05:11
on people.
05:12
Or the Nazis who exterminated so many.
05:15
I suddenly understood why they could do what they did.
05:19
Because, I could do what I did.
05:21
I did not see the fetus as a human being.
05:25
Just like the Germans did not see the Jews as human beings.
05:30
When you don't see someone as human, you can do whatever you want to them, and not feel
05:34
bad about it.
05:36
That was the point where I became pro-life.
05:40
And after that, it took a lot of prayer, and a lot of counseling, for me to get past the
05:51
fact that I was basically a mass murderer.
05:54
And to get over the fact that I had aborted my own child, as well as so many others.
06:01
You know, I always love to meet people that I delivered.
06:07
But it's bittersweet, because I know there are so many that I will never meet, because
06:13
I aborted them.
06:16
The thing to remember, is that although we can't see who these little people are, they
06:24
ARE people.
06:25
They're still in the womb, but they are people.
06:30
And we don't know what they are going to be, or who they are going to become.
06:36
But we need to give them a chance.
Life: Detailed Abortion and Planned Parenthood Story from a Mom, Abby Johnson
Abby Johnson, a mom and now former director to a Texas Planned Parenthood Clinic, retells her story through her book, below video interviews, and the Unplanned Movie in Spring 2019. Her story reveals the truth about abortion, Planned Parenthood, motherhood, babies, pregnancy, and sharing the truth to others.
