When abortion doctor Lisa Harris was 18 weeks pregnant, she performed a D&E abortion on an 18-week-old fetus. Harris felt her own child kick precisely at the moment that she severed a leg of the unborn infant:
Instantly, tears were streaming from my eyes—without me—meaning my conscious brain—even being aware of what was going on. I felt as if my response had come entirely from my body, bypassing my usual cognitive processing completely. A message seemed to travel from my hand and my uterus to my tear ducts. It was an overwhelming feeling—a brutally visceral response—heartfelt and unmediated by my training or my feminist pro-choice politics. It was one of the more raw moments in my life.
David Daleiden and Jon Shields include her story in their article, "Mugged by Ultrasound: Why So Many Abortion Workers Have Turned Pro-Life." It's a wrenching article that deserves a few minutes of your time.
