Dallas, TX/November 10, 2009/Operation Rescue --
An abortionist who admits to having committed illegal, back alley abortions prior to Roe v. Wade has announced plans to open a new late-term abortion clinic in Dallas last month. Curtis Boyd, 72, told a pro-abortion Internet site that he was committing illegal abortions on January 22, 1973, when the Roe v. Wade decision was announced.
"This is a case where an illegal back alley abortion hack simply hung the 'open' sign out on the front door and kept on with his grisly business," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "Now, at 72 years old, he wants to do the more dangerous late-term abortions. This is a recipe for disaster if I ever saw one."
Boyd shocked America by confessing to a Dallas television reporter that he believes that abortion is killing.
"Am I killing?" Boyd said. "Yes, I am. I know that."
Boyd is a backslidden ordained Baptist minister who now identifies with the apostate Unitarian Universalist "Church" whose doctrine is antithetical to orthodox Christianity.
"It was ironic that during the recent debate on abortion funding in the proposed health care system that several abortion supporters in the House rose to say that without taxpayer funding of abortion, we would return to the days of back alley abortions. Unfortunately, we never left those days," said Newman.
"Some of the same quacks, including Boyd, that were doing illegal abortions before Roe v. Wade are still operating. Little has changed. Women continue to be maimed and killed in our nation's abortion clinics. Just ask the families of Laura Hope Smith or Christin Gilbert, who were killed recently during so-called legal abortions. The only real solution is to grant the legal protections of personhood to the pre-born and close down the killing centers for good."
As a pro-life activist for three decades, I find myself constantly begging writers to be more complete in their reference to Roe v. Wade, particularly on late term abortions; Doe v. Bolton is critical to understanding the full reality of today’s abortions. Two specific questions should be answered.
WHY do leaders of the pro-abortion establishment make it a point NEVER to mention Doe v. Bolton?
And WHY do many pro-life leaders cooperate with the abortion establishment by ignoring Doe v. Bolton when they refer to Roe v. Wade?
The pro-abortion crowd knows that when the average person understands how Doe changed Roe, they become more educated on the totality of the abortion evil.
To ignore Doe v. Bolton is to cooperate with the abortion establishment's strategy of keeping Doe v. Bolton buried far from the abortion debate. Even the Supreme Court said these twin decisions must be read together.
We know that if Roe is reversed Doe becomes irrelevant, but that has nothing to do with people understanding how Doe expanded the reach of Roe; millions more of our preborn citizens were sentenced to a violent death, even to partial-birth infanticide. Writers for Life
