What the Abortion Industry is Saying: “We are losing!”

1. “A little more of this and doctors just won’t do abortions. Would you? (Abortionist Warren Hern, full page ad in Rocky Mountain News, July 23, 2005, referring to Operation Save America’s National Event in Denver, July 2005).
2. “This is a crisis, it’s increasingly impossible for women to get a service (abortion) that’s absolutely legal.” (Melinda Dubois – US News and World Report, 1998)
3. “Hate and harassment clearly inhibit women from access to abortion. It is more difficult now to get an abortion than it was five years ago.” (Gloria Feldt of PPFA, 1997)
