Again and again, real abortion stories prove that Planned Parenthood is no friend to women.

In an with Catherine Szeltner of EWTN’s Pro-Life Weekly, former presidential contender and candidate for vice-president, Carly Fiorina, revealed two personal abortion stories that made an impact on her life. Fiorina explained that her known passion for the pro-life issue comes from “a whole set of experiences” — including going to a Planned Parenthood facility with a friend.

 “It was a callous experience. Honestly, she was never the same again.”

First, perhaps, was an experience I had in my early twenties, right here in Washington, D.C., actually. I had a very good friend who decided she was going to have an abortion. And, despite my talking with her, she was adamant about this. And so we went to a Planned Parenthood clinic.

I observed that she was given no options. There was no conversation about whether or not this was the right thing for her and what her other alternatives might be.

It was a callous experience. And I saw the impact of that abortion on her — not just physically, but emotionally, and especially spiritually. Honestly, she was never the same since.

“His mother had been told to abort him. … She refused.”

I met my husband a couple years later, and when I married him, I learned that his mother had been told to abort him. She had him quite late in her life, she had a great deal of difficulty with her previous pregnancies, and so her doctor told her her life was in danger, and she should abort her unborn child. She refused. She was a brave and faithful woman. She spent a year in the hospital after his birth, but I’ve thought often about how different her life would have been, how different my life would have been had he not been brought into the world.

In addition to telling these abortion stories, Carly Fiorina opened up about learning that she could not have children of her own. This led her to “understand that life is a precious gift.” Fiorina remarked that on top of her personal experience with abortion stories, “science is proving us right.”

Indeed, scientific experts and decades of medical textbooks conclusively agree that every new, unique human being has his or her beginning at the moment of conception. The development of a preborn child in the first trimester — when the majority of abortions are committed in the U.S. — is nothing short of astonishing.
