AMA Apostates Damn Themselves
In the wake of the aborting of Abortionist Slepian, The American Medical Association furthered its disgraceful solidarity with American childslaughter. The once-prestigious organization issued a press release (2 Nov.) expressing its goal “to protect our colleagues.” By regarding baby killers as colleagues, they associate themselves with the apostates from the healing profession.who have exchanged their pledge to perform healing arts for a lucrative trade in shedding innocent blood.
In 1859, The AMA called the woman’s abortion “the wanton and murderous destruction of her child”; the “unwarrantable destruction of human life” (William Brennan, Medical Holocausts, vol. 1. New York: Norland Publishing International, 1980, p. 331).
The AMA, accordingly, admonished colleagues in 1871 concerning any company with abortionists: “The members of the profession should shrink with horror from all intercourse with them, professionally and otherwise; these men should be marked as Cain was marked; they should be made the outcasts of society; it becomes the duty of every physician in the United States . . . to resort to every honorable and legal means in his power to crush out from among us this pest of society” (Brennan, p. 332).
Now, says the apostate AMA, these murderous pests who formerly ought to have been made outcasts are now to be embraced as “colleagues”!
What has changed; the horror of abortion or the AMA’s mindset?
The old AMA would have honored Messrs. Kopp and Rudolph for their good deeds in “crushing out from among us this pest of society.” But the modern AMA is a different Association. They remind us of an academy of physicians who wandered astray in another nation a few decades ago.
There were 20 physicians tried together right after WWII at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. The opening statement of the prosecution on December 9, 1946 said that they:
range from leaders of German scientific medicine, with excellent international reputations, down to the dregs of the German medical profession. All of them have in common a callous lack of consideration and human regard for, and an unprincipled willingness to abuse their power over the poor, unfortunate, defenseless creatures who have been deprived of their rights by a ruthless and criminal government . . .
Guilt for the oppressions and crimes of the Third Reich is widespread, but it is the guilt of the leaders that is deepest and most culpable . . . They are the men who utterly failed their country and their profession, who showed neither courage nor wisdom nor the vestiges of moral character (Brennan, p. 49))
The scoundrels of the AMA have degraded themselves beyond the doctors of the Nuremberg Trials. Those doctors might have defended themselves by arguing that they operated under the authority of and even at the behest of their government.
AMA doctors were committing criminal abortions long before prosecutors refrained from prosecuting the crime in the wake of Roe v. Wade. Way back in 1960, then-Planned Parenthood Federation of America medical director Dr. Mary S. Calderone wrote about the involvement of respectable physicians in criminal abortions:
90 percent of all illegal abortions are presently being done by physicians. Call them what you will, abortionists or anything else, they are still physicians, trained as such . . . physicians of impeccable standing are referring their patients for these illegal abortions to the colleagues whom they know are willing to perform them” (Brennan, p. 60).
The fact of physician involvement in criminal abortion is further illustrated by a survey of 180 North Carolina obstetricians’ attitudes toward the permissive North Carolina Abortion Act of 1967. “A large majority acknowledged that the new law had little effect on the performance of abortions ‘other than to legalize long-established practices’” (Brennan, p. 60).
The AMA, like their Planned Barrenhood fellow travelers, abused the right of free speech to advance the barbaric abortion industry. The AMA encouraged the Supreme Court to remove the protection of law for children in the womb. But now, after legalization was forced upon the nation by means of judicial tyranny, these same lawbreakers who practiced or collaborated with criminal abortions want to silence those who oppose them and call their deeds murder. Witness the AMA’s demand for Janet Waco Reno to renew efforts to harass abortion opponents via another round of grand juries directed by another task force which begins making plans the week of Veterans Day (AP, 6 Nov.).
We are not surprised by the deeds of these wicked men. Their hypocrisy is clear. They like the freedom to advance childslaughter in the guise of a medical service, but they do not want others to exercise the freedom to lobby for the re-criminalization of abortion along with trials and executions of all accomplices of such crimes against humanity. They want silence from the opposition because they allege that their “colleagues” suffer from fear. (Typical of intolerant leftwingers.)
(Incidentally, Planned Barenthood will argue in the federal law suit in the district court in Oregon against ACLA et al in December that such fears disable abortionists from offering a “constitutionally protected service” to women. Access to this service is endowed with special protection by the new Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrance law under which no one is allowed to “harass,” “intimidate,” or “threaten” anyone exercising the wonderful right to abort.) Those who speak words which scare abortionists violate FACE, so the argument will go.
It is all so obscene. The wicked impose their immoral abortion principles upon the people (not even my means of legislation but by judicial fiat) and then they demand that all opposition shut up: Don’t call abortionists murderers! Such talk, true or not, incites people to treat our colleagues like murderers and to interfere with their “professional health care services.”
We expect worse to come. Resistance to abortion has been both half-hearted and -witted. When the call went out for non-forceful intervention at abortuaries from the mid-eighties, churches, theologians, politicians, and academics failed to respond and the movement was crushed by the same courts (federal) which perverted the republic with the glorious right to abort. And when rescuers turned to covert and (necessarily) forceful means of rescue, mindless denunciations proceeded from the mouths of establishment pro-life groups, churches, the general public, as well as the former street protesters and abortuary blockaders. This cowardice and treachery strengthened the hand of the oppressive powers in Washington so that now they are emboldened to the point that they are ready to proceed with grand jury investigations focusing in on a public web site where opinions are expressed; viz. the opinion and advocacy of the expectation that the re-criminalization of abortion has yet to occur, but at such time (we are optimistic, admittedly) that it should occur.
