Former Abortionist Details the Profound Moment God Enabled Her to Finally Forgive Herself

"I'm just thankful every day that we have a Savior, that He does forgive us and that He can take what the locust has destroyed and restore it. I'm so thankful that He's using me to save babies now when once I used to kill them."

Kathi Aultman wanted to be a doctor so she could help women. After receiving her license, she took a side job at a Florida women's clinic to perform abortions.

In an interview with CBN News, Aultman explained:

"It was no question in my mind that a woman should have the right to choose whether she wanted to be pregnant or not, and that was the most important thing. And I didn't consider the fetus in the equation at all."

She went on to become director of a local Planned Parenthood. She said examining the parts of aborted babies fascinated her.

'My Baby Was Wanted. Their Baby Wasn't'

"I was looking at it completely from a scientific standpoint, totally devoid of any emotion," said Aultman. It was amazing and I used to send it, the different parts, down to pathology and in our pathology rotation we would look at the slides and it fascinated me."

She Even Performed Abortions While Pregnant

"I didn't see any problem with that," she commented. "My baby was wanted. Their baby wasn't. It didn't seem to bother the women I was aborting. I saw no contradiction in that, no problem with it.

Aultman said the only time she had qualms about what she was doing was when she worked in the intensive care unit for newborns.

She then found herself trying to save babies who were the same age as those she killed. But she quickly dismissed those thoughts.

Aultman's Thinking Begins to Change

"If she wanted the baby then I did everything I could to give her a happy healthy baby," she said. If she miscarried I would be distraught with her and upset about losing that baby."

After having her first child, the doctor came face to face with three cases that changed her thinking.

One involved a young girl who had three abortions, all performed by Aultman.

"I went to the clinic manager and I said I don't want to do this," Aultman shared. "She's just using abortion as birth control. And they said I didn't have the right to make that decision, that it wasn't a judgment that I should be making and I needed to do the procedure."

During her interview with CBN News, Aultman carefully explained two other scenarios that made her see things differently.

"The next woman came in with a girlfriend and the girlfriend asked, 'do you want to see the tissue?' and she snapped at her and just said, in a really angry voice, 'I don't want to look at it, I just want to kill it!' And I thought, what has this baby ever done to you?" she said.

Justification for Abortion Unravels

She then told of a third woman who had four children. Her husband wanted her to abort their fifth child.

"Her husband didn't feel they could afford another, and she cried the entire time," commented Aultman. "I think the callousness and hostility of the first two compared to the sorrow and the devastation of the third woman—I think that comparison made me understand that just because the child wasn't wanted, that was no longer justification enough for me to do the procedure."

In 1983, after attending a church service and a private meeting with the pastor, Aultman prayed to become a Born-Again Christian. Even so, Aultman says she was still confused, and didn't fully understand who Jesus was.

Former Abortionist Looked at the “Pile of Body Parts” of an Aborted Baby and Never Did an Abortion Again

Levatino described a dismemberment abortion as a “brutal procedure in which a living human being is torn to pieces.”

Former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino shared his powerful conversion story with a Texas judge Monday during a court hearing about a state dismemberment abortion ban.

Levatino aborted hundreds of unborn babies as an ob-gyn in the 1980s, but he had a change of heart after his young daughter died in a tragic accident. Now, he testifies about the horrors of abortion to audiences, legislators and judges across the country.

The Express reports Levatino described the cruelty of dismemberment abortion before U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel on Monday.

Texas is trying to outlaw the barbaric procedure. But earlier this year, the abortion chains Whole Woman’s Health and Planned Parenthood challenged Texas Senate Bill 8, which prohibits dismemberment abortions, a method typically used in the second trimester to kill nearly fully-formed, living unborn babies. It is a barbaric and dangerous procedure in which the unborn baby is ripped apart in the womb and pulled out in pieces while his or her heart is still beating.

In late August, Yeakel temporarily blocked the state from enforcing the law until the case could go to trial. Yeakel also is presiding over the hearing this week.

Levatino told Yeakel that he performed hundreds of dismemberment abortions in the early 1980s. But one day, after aborting an unborn baby this way, he said he became “sick.” He said he thought of his 6-year-old adopted daughter who had died in a vehicle accident not long before. And when he looked at the “pile of body parts” from the baby who he had just dismembered, Levatino said he realized that he was looking at someone’s child.

“That’s what started a cascade, which over the next few months, ended in not doing any more abortions,” Levatino said.

Levatino described a dismemberment abortion as a “brutal procedure in which a living human being is torn to pieces.”

Former Abortionist: "Abortion is Never Medically Necessary to Save the Life of the Mother."

By Sarah Terzo
Live Action News

At the October 19, 2016 presidential debate, Hillary Clinton defended abortion in the third trimester. She claimed that abortions at these late stages are necessary to save the lives of women; therefore, abortion must remain legal. But former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino has testified that abortions never have to be committed to save a woman’s life.

Dr. Levatino committed over 1,200 abortions before his pro-life conversion, which he talks about here. In a video, he illustrates the third trimester induction procedure.

An induction abortion requires slowly dilating a woman’s cervix over the course of several days. Laminaria is then placed inside the woman’s body to absorb fluid and slowly open the woman’s womb, readying her body to expel her baby. An injection of digoxin is then used to kill the child, and the woman goes into labor to deliver her child stillborn.

On May 17, 2012, Dr. Levatino testified before Congress in support of the District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act:

In cases where a pregnancy places a woman in danger of death or grave physical injury, a doctor more often than not doesn’t have 36 hours, much less 72 hours, to resolve the problem. Let me illustrate with a real-life case that I managed while at the Albany Medical Center. A patient arrived one night at 28 weeks gestation with severe pre-eclampsia or toxemia. Her blood pressure on admission was 220/160. A normal blood pressure is approximately 120/80. This patient’s pregnancy was a threat to her life and the life of her unborn child. She could very well be minutes or hours away from a major stroke.

This case was managed successfully by rapidly stabilizing the patient’s blood pressure and “terminating” her pregnancy by Cesarean section. She and her baby did well.

This is a typical case in the world of high-risk obstetrics. In most such cases, any attempt to perform an abortion “to save the mother’s life” would entail undue and dangerous delay in providing appropriate, truly life-saving care. During my time at Albany Medical Center I managed hundreds of such cases by “terminating” pregnancies to save mother’s lives. In all those cases, the number of unborn children that I had to deliberately kill was zero.

Levatino is an expert who has both committed abortions and saved preborn babies in high risk pregnancies, and his testimony shows that abortion advocates are wrong about late-term abortions.
