“The doctor brought the ultrasound in and hooked it up so that he could see the baby. On the ultrasound screen, I could see the heartbeat… The doctor went in with forceps and grabbed the baby’s legs and pulled them down into the birth canal. Then he delivered the baby’s body and the arms — everything but the head. The doctor kept the head right inside the uterus. The baby’s little fingers were clasping and unclasping, and his little feet were kicking. Then the doctor stuck the scissors in the back of his head, and the baby’s arms jerked out, like a startle reaction, like a flinch, like a baby does when he thinks he is going to fall. The doctor opened up the scissors, stuck a high-powered suction tube into the opening, and sucked the baby’s brains out. Now the baby went completely limp. I was really completely unprepared for what I was seeing. I almost threw up as I watched the doctor doing these things. Next, the doctor delivered the baby’s head. He cut the umbilical cord and delivered the placenta. He threw the baby in a pan, along with the placenta and the instruments he had just used. I saw the baby move in the pan. I asked another nurse, and she said it was just reflexes. I have been a nurse for a long time, and I have seen a lot of death — people maimed in auto accidents, gunshot wounds, you name it. I have seen surgical procedures of every sort. But in all my professional years, I had never witnessed anything like this. The woman wanted to see her baby, so they cleaned up the baby and put it in a blanket and handed it to her. She cried the whole time. She kept saying, “I am so sorry, please forgive me.” I was crying, too. I couldn’t take it. That baby boy had the most perfect, angelic face I think I have ever seen in my life… I just couldn’t wait to get out of there. After I left that day, I never went back. I was very much affected by what I saw. For a long time –and sometimes still — I had nightmares about what I saw that day. I wish I hadn’t seen what I saw. But I did see it, and I will never be able to forget it. That baby boy was only inches, seconds, away from being entirely born, when he was killed. What I saw done to that little boy, and to those other babies [that day], should not be allowed in this country.” Partial birth (late term) abortion like the one witnessed above shouldn’t be allowed in any country! Yet incredibly, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has promised Canadians that his new Conservative majority government will ensure that this horrific procedure can continue unabated in Canada. You see, there is no law in Canada—none—to protect the unborn child at any stage of pregnancy—and the Conservative party has admittedly joined with all the other parties in parliament to ensure it remains that way. Additionally, because there are known prolife MPs in his caucus, Stephen Harper has seen to it that those MPs be instructed not to try to introduce a private member’s bill to challenge the status quo. The responsibility for this does not all rest with the politicians; prolife voters (most unknowingly) contribute to this holocaust by ‘mothballing’ good prolife MPs into the ‘domes of silence’ that all existing political parties have in the House of Commons. MPs are told what to say and when to say it.What the auditor general will not uncover is what Harper and the other parties are really hiding to gain political power and, ultimately, this Conservative bloody majority. Incredibly, it’s the innocent babies, paying with their lives in a holocaust of pain. Wake up Canada! There is only one federal political party that will continually and boldly tell Canadians this truth: the Christian Heritage Party. Just imagine how a CHP caucus in parliament could restore sanity to this nation and put an end to the pain being rendered to these babies. CHP MPs will not be told what to say…they know what to say and they’ll have the freedom to say it! CHP Canada needs your support today and you have my promise that, with the resources in place, we’ll fight this barbaric practice to its end! I encourage you now to please forward this to everyone in your address book—an innocent life depends on it. The above testimony was given by Brenda Pratt Shafer.
