Disturbing commentary from an abortionist who admits playing God and says "We
who cancel 'luckless human souls' are doing God’s work,"
Harrison concludes.
I beg to differ and would wager than the soul he is really canceling is his own...prayers for a conversion of heart...

Washington,
DC (LifeNews.com) -- An abortion practitioner who says he's done
more than 20,000 abortions and was formerly Hillary Clinton's OBGYN,
has recently admitted that "abortion cancels souls." William
Harrison's frank admission came in a conversation with prominent pro-life
psychologist Warren Throckmorton.
Throckmorton
told LifeNews.com on Tuesday about an email conversation he recently
had with Harrison.
The
conversation started with a discussion of an appeals court ruling
upholding a South Dakota law that allows women to know the risks of
and alternatives to abortion.
It
ultimately resulted in Harrison sending Throckmorton a letter to the
editor he recently submitted to a local newspaper with some frank
language.
In
the letter, Harrison reacts to a question about whether or not he
has any regrets as an abortion practitioner who snuffs out the lives
of unborn children.
"Anyone
who has delivered as many babies as I have, and has seen hundreds
of living and dead embryos and fetuses being spontaneously aborted
as have I, knows exactly what we are doing when we provide an elective
abortion for our patient," Harrison writes.
"We
are ending the life of an embryo or a fetus. Not the life of a person,
but certainly a creature that might have become a person under other
circumstances," he adds.
Harrison
goes further saying babies who die from spontaneous abortions are
"just such luckless human souls" who are “canceled”
by “God."
He
admits he plays God when it comes to abortion -- saying he simply
does what God already practices in cases of miscarriages.
"For
those girls and women and their families whose circumstances would
make their babies 'luckless human souls' I 'cancel' them before they
become babies," he says.
"We
who cancel 'luckless human souls' are doing God’s work,"
Harrison concludes.
Thorckmorton
responded to Harrison's comments graciously and resisted the temptation
to condemn the obviously objectionable remarks.
"I
am still reflecting on his response but I think he and I have different
ideas of what preventing a life/soul is," he writes in response.
"For
him, it appears that prevention ranges from preventing conception
to preventing a birth, whereas, I see the fetus as a human soul, luckless
or not," he adds.
Harrison
was Clinton's personal gynecologist in the 1970s and did the abortions
during his days operating an abortion center in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
