“I am Doctor Bernard Nathanson former director of the largest abortion clinic in the western world and I am the last surviving founding of NARAL, the pro-abortion organization we founded . . . as a goal to export our pro-abortion mentality across the land.”

So said the obstetrician and gynecologist and pro-life activist who died at the age of 84 in late February. He recorded his remarks from his hospital bed in 2008 for  a video in which he went on to recount how the National Abortion Rights Action League had deliberately misled the public with outright lies; lies that are still being told to hide the reality behind millions of slaughtered babies and damaged women.

He was responsible, he said, for 75,000 abortions before he saw, in the late 1970s, an ultrasound of a baby in the womb being aborted and realized that what he had been doing was killing little human beings.

His autobiography, The Hand of God, recounts his training as a doctor at McGill in Montreal and his career in the U.S.A., during which he aborted one of his own children.

He made the video The Silent Scream, which includes an ultrasound image of a baby in the womb reacting to an instrument inserted into the uterus. It proves the humanity of the child in the womb, and yet Dr Nathanson was dismayed that the truth he had displayed was largely ignored.

After his conversion to pro-life and after he became a pro-life activist and advocate for children in the womb, he suffered vilification and being shunned by his own medical profession. In being willing to withstand that and solider on, Dr. Nathanson was an inspiration to all pro-lifers.
