Catherine Wheeler was an OB/GYN doctor who aborted babies up to 18 weeks. “They felt it all”, discloses Wheeler, who has since renounced her profession and now speaks out against her former industry. “Abortion is not healthcare.”

“Abortion is not just a word”, writes Catherine Wheeler, denouncing the US state of Colorado’s extreme abortion laws that permit the killing of an unborn baby up to birth, with no restrictions.

“People voting for abortion must know what they are voting for… It’s been described in the literature as having a ‘yuck’ factor – an understatement. As an OB/GYN doctor who performed abortions, I would clarify abortion is actually the intentional and brutal killing of an innocent human being…

“People are shocked to learn how the abortionist kills the baby and then removes him/her from the uterus.”

Looking back 15 years to the last time she performed an abortion, Wheeler’s response is now, “What have I done?

“Science reveals preborn babies can feel pain as early as 12 weeks. I had performed abortions up to about 18 weeks, and they felt it all… How could I have ever done that?”

Wheeler says she “became a doctor to save lives”, but during her training abortion was presented as “a hard choice”, making her believe that she was helping women. “But we never talked about WHAT was being chosen, nor of the baby. Our goal was the health and life of both patients… except with abortion. It makes no sense.”

Only later, after suffering two miscarriages, did Wheeler finally open her heart and her mind, realising that “if my babies were valuable humans to grieve, so were the babies I aborted”.

“Abortion is not healthcare”, Wheeler concludes. “Changing definitions, changing the Hippocratic Oath, and using sanitized ambiguous words does not change the human right to life and protection, especially for the most vulnerable.”

The dreadful truth about abortion is getting out

SPUC’s Michael Robinson, Executive Director (Public Affairs and Legal Services), said: “Dehumanising unborn children is key to the pro-abortion narrative that sells the lie, most of all to women, that abortion does no harm. But as Catherine Wheeler saw, since she participated in it, abortion is a destructive act that kills a baby in the womb, sometimes in horrifically violent ways.

“This is the truth that the abortion industry and its ideologues have sought to cover up. Thanks to former abortionists like Catherine who have seen the light, the truth is getting get out.

“But there is still a long way to go. One of the great challenges, as this and other stories attest to, is the indoctrination of doctors into the abortion industry. As SPUC reported recently, in the case of two ex-abortionists, medical students can find themselves desensitised to abortion early on. Increasingly, medicine is giving up its greatest principle, which is to do no harm.

“As former abortionist Dr Haywood Robinson explains, ‘Medicine has been taken over by the government and corporations. It’s no longer person-focused, it’s very anti-human… against the human species and its normal propagation.’”
