This interview is very hard for me to watch. It brings tears to my eyes. I was at the abortion clinic 18 years ago. Back then, they charged you $350 to have an abortion. I don’t know how much they charge now. I have that in my pocket and was ready to abort my 2-3 months old unborn baby. Made it on time for my appointment for 8:00am, and the front door was locked. Came back into my car to call the clinic to open the door for me. Got out of my car again and a lady named Mary stopped me. She showed me horrific images of how they abort a baby with a long, skinny vacuum. Scared to the core, I left that place and did not turn back. Mary helped me set up appointments for an ultrasound and to see an OB/GYN. Now 18 years later, my daughter is in college studying to be a psychologist and a social worker. I thank God every day for my daughter’s life and for sending someone to stop me.

I am a retired operating room nurse who used to help OBGYNs, back in the 90s, who performed abortions by saying the patient had had a miscarriage. I believed them at first, and then I started questioning and was told the truth. At first, I didn't like it, but I went along with it. God sent me a dream that shook me, and the next day, my dream came true at work. I realized what I was cooperating with, and it was brutal. I won't share because it's too brutal for non medical people to hear. I know what he means by being shattered. I'm still shattered in a way. Even though I've been forgiven. I so don't deserve to be forgiven. Never. Now I'm shook that God loves me and forgives me. People think I'm exaggerating and dont take me seriously, but I can not explain the feeling of being truly forgiven. There just aren't words to describe any of it, but I am so indebted to our Lord Jesus Christ. To God for forgiving a sinner like me. God is so much more than good. Lord Jesus Christ. Son of the living God. Have mercy on me, a sinner.

When I was 14 weeks pregnant with my daughter I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called TTP. They told me to abort my daughter if it was caused by the pregnancy(it was). I said I’d rather die. After my daughter was born I became pregnant with my son. Because of the same issues, he ended up being born via c section at 34 weeks. He was 4lbs 8oz and dropped to 3lbs 15.5oz. I can’t imagine my life without them. They are my world. Children their gestational age are being killed daily and it breaks my heart. To those who have had an abortion, I love you and I empathy with you. Fear is the great persuader. Put your faith in God and He will remove that fear and give you hope.

This is so hard to hear. But I believe this is part of my penance. I had an abortion at 18. It was illegal in Oklahoma, so I had to travel to New Mexico. I’ve regretted it all my life, and when I became Catholic, I had to confess this before First Communion. I know God forgives, but I still struggle with this. I once, in a conversation, said that the people who have most argued for abortion in my experience, have usually had one. My boss, an active Catholic, Eucharistic Minister, got very angry and left my office in a hurry. About 15 minutes later, she came into my office and confessed that she had an abortion in her early years. She apologized for her anger.

"I would rather starve than profit from murdering the unborn." I never figured out how someone could work in healthcare and not know that you can't murder something that hasn't been born lol. At about 53mins Dr. Bruchalski said he "dismembered infants" but that's not what happens during abortion because an infant (scientifically/factually) must be born. If it's not born then it's not (scientifically/factually) an infant. Now if he WERE doing what he said he did, that would be a felony. I also find it funny how pro-life seems very concerned for "life in the womb" but totally unconcerned over the fact that the governments they pay taxes to use those taxes to fund the killling of (actual) children, e.g. 14k+ killed in Palestine since Oct. 7. Guess who pays for those bullets and bombs? Curious how "prolifers" don't appear interested in trying to change that or care that their money's used in that way. It's almost like their position is based entirely on political expediency...

20 weeks isn't viable, meaning it won't survive outside the womb. So is robbing women of their bodily autonomy a good thing?

[@MrKirbanator]

​@@Helios--Absolutely, especially when it involves killing someone else

[@kailaleebabineau3962]

​@@Helios-- 22 weeks is viable, and 20 weeks can feel pain. Is it good to kill this life because a woman can't be inconvenienced for a few more months to give this life a healthy chance with an adoptive family?

[@Helios--]

​@@kailaleebabineau3962 Wrong. Any consciousness that could develop doesn't even occur until after the age of viability. 20 weeks isn't even close. _Very few_ survive at 22 weeks. A 25 week old fetus has about a 60-70% chance of survival, the ones that DO survive often have life long health issues. 28 weeks is generally considered the point at which it can survive outside the womb with little to no long term health problems. Prolife of course knows nothing about this or conveniently refuses to mention it. To state the obvious, the younger the fetus, the _less_ likely it is to survive or thrive outside the womb. Technically and factually, it's not until *_after the production of surfactant_* (after 24 weeks) that the fetus becomes even remotely viable and that process isn't complete until 32 weeks. Anyway most abortions happen before the age of fetal viability (not the one you invented) so your adoption point is irrelevant, and I noticed you dodged my question. You might want to educate yourself before getting publicly embarrassed (again) by someone who knows more than you do.

When my husband and I met, I got pregnant almost immediately. When I went to see a doctor, they told me that the baby is growing inside of one of my tubes, which meant that the baby could not survive. They waited a week to see if the heartbeat would decrease because there was not enough place for the baby to develop further. Then they had to extract him out of me. I say him because I knew it was a boy. I just knew it. I named him Michael. After this, my pain was enormous. Even though this was "justified," it was a loss of my child, who I am grieving now 13 years later.

Although my ectopic grew enough to rupture my tube, and I nearly died from internal bleeding, I still think what if.

At one point he mentions the 2% of physicians who are truly pro-life. This is probably true across the general population. I meet with 2 “devout” catholic men every week. This morning i discussed this physician’s journey, and the gruesome details of his botched murdering of a child. I am close to this DR’s age and almost wept while telling the story. The responses from my friends revolved around libertarianism, freedom to choose, and the result of government banning abortions. My generation is clearly indoctrinated in the soft language of killing babies in the womb

[@mogx2586]

It is horrific and satanic. This Doctor is correct - we've reached a time where language has been captured and I feel we need to take it back. I'll no longer say I had an abortion. I will say I murdered my baby. Take the language back - it is not a "medical procedure" it is a gruesome brutal attack on a baby. May God forgive me.

Metastatic brain cancer and still alive to give testimony to the Truth? Truly God’s Divine Mercy has allowed it. This information will help me when educating my much younger co-workers about abortion. I am 64 and lost my best friend to inflammatory breast cancer when she was in her forties. She had had an abortion in her twenties because she so feared the wrath of her own father ( he was a son of a gun!) although she was still in a solid relationship with the baby’s father. I was living outside the country in the mid-eighties so I never knew about it until I returned. I am not sure why she never married the father. I speculate it was because of her dad not approving. Her father hated me too. I realize now that it was because I was Catholic. Typing this has made me realize that I should pray for her father’s soul, especially today the Feast of All Souls.

and you’ll exit being human one day by falling out of your body to keep right on going. im not catholic, as it does not matter, but i hiked the camino de santiago and on day two while descending the pyrenees, i sat down to change my shoes and died. the most beautiful woman, whom i believe to be mary the mother of christ, healed me with her eyes and returned me to my true royal nature. it was amazing. get this, with true royalty, it’s never about them. they made it all about me. loving me, healing me, teaching me, and telling me great and mighty things i knew not. keep in mind, there is nothing apart from truth there, so when mary showed me my family, we loved as we’d always been meant to here on earth, in total unity as we all knew the same thing, truth. and we laughed from that deep place of joy in the knowing that we were safe no matter what. and when i tried to recall what id ever felt unsafe from, i couldn’t think of a thing and burst out laughing. but i loved wisdom most. i can’t wait for you to see, but don’t be in a hurry because eternity lasts a long long time. buen camino

I was hesitating to watch this. I don’t like to hear details such as this but THIS IS the brutal reality of what society tries to justify. I have tried to convince myself there are special cases like rape, abuse, incest but it’s never sat right with me. Women in those situations need support to be mothers in those tragic circumstances, not to be traumatised further. No matter how I reason it, the logical conclusion is that we need to teach our sons and daughters to be chaste until marriage, instead of society telling them it’s ‘okay’ to have sex before marriage. Easy said and hard to live, I know this myself having been a promiscuous teen but I really do wish I was encouraged to be chaste by my social circle other than just my Mum, who I thought knew nothing and was so behind with the times! What a fool I was. I would loved to have found a REAL Catholic community of friends who really live by Catholic values rather than being Catholic in name only. Being chaste until marriage is the way to tackle this evil. I pray the generation coming up now (my eldest son is 13) learn the value and gift of being chaste and rebel against the saturated sex cesspit constantly on display. My God have mercy on the souls of those who find themselves involved in an abortion and may Our Lady be the most beautiful loving mother to all those babies who endure such a horrific end to life. Thank you PWA and Dr John for sharing your testimony. Forever imprinted in my mind and heart ❤

I was diagnosed recently with PCOS and a blood clotting disorder. My doctors told me I likely won't have kids, if I do it will be high risk... I would do anything to have a baby. The fact there are women in this world that turn away from motherhood and all the blessings it brings... just breaks my heart. But I also feel horrible that these women and girls are in situations where abortion is even considered. It's a vicious cycle we all just need to act with love and gentleness. You never know when kindness is someone's turning point.

As we listen and cry from his experience, let's not forget it takes a lot of courage to come forward with information like this, may God bless the heart of this guy. A friend of mine tried many times to abort her baby, she survived (and she became the love of her life, a pre-teen now). She tells me many times how she feels guilty everytime she looks at her. I don't know how to help so she can forgive herself. It is all over the internet that most women will feel guilty for the rest of their life from aborting their babies, some have haunting experiences and horrible nightmares of their aborted children . Must be difficult. Women, dont kill your babies, doctors, don't kill these innocent helpless babies. If you did this, you can still be forgiveness, seek the Lord, see this guy here, you can tell he knows what he did is no longer a burden. And that's the power of forgiveness.

I remember in 1st or 2nd grade we were asked to watch the movie “THE SILENT SCREAM” the movie is a straight up documentary about what is happening during abortion and the consequences of premarital sex which can result into having a baby. It will really ingrain in your soul. Evan as a young child, you will understand that actions have consequences. I actually felt a sense of gratefulness to my mom for taking care of me when she was pregnant. I felt loved and felt sorry for the kids who ended up being aborted. It is a good preparatory movie for kids who are about to enter puberty and who would like to experiment about sex coz it will result into having a baby, to having a life inside of you, it is a great responsibility to be a mother. It is a brutal movie coz it’s a brutal reality some women chose this path.

[@irishandscottish1829]

As a nurse when I worked bank shifts (where I went to every different ward to cover staff shortages) I was given 2 days in a row on the day surgery ward. I didn’t question this because day surgery is tonsillectomies etc it didn’t even enter my head that it could possibly be abortions… I arrived on shift and that was when the sister told me it was ‘abortion day’ that day and the next day and I was given a quick rundown of the risks I had to tell women before they signed consent forms and what post op obs I had to do and for how long etc and post abortion counselling such as advising to go to GP for free contraception. I was gobsmacked and told the sister that I can’t do the shift as I don’t believe in abortion and that I am catholic and in Scotland my religious beliefs are protected under the equality act. I then called my office/boss saying to cancel me doing the shift the next day and give me somewhere else and that I wasn’t prepared to do that days shift. Sadly the ward sister and my boss tag teamed saying me leaving the shift won’t stop the theatre list because the doctor would still do abortions despite being short staffed and I was bullied into staying on shift however thankfully it was agreed I would only have to do obs on the patients and would have nothing to do with obtaining consent or advising women to get contraception after. I will say that shift was eye opening seeing women in for their 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th plus abortion… it horrified me despite the doctors telling these women that the more abortions they have the greater risks associated to each abortion. Due to my refusal to work the next shift my work unofficially punished me - they refused to give me a shift elsewhere the next day and for weeks after they refused to give me any shifts claiming there were no shifts which I knew was a lie because there is never a day or night that the nhs isn’t short staffed in one ward or another… that caused a hard month and following month financially but I struggled through. I had a long conversation with my parish Priest about this almost two years ago because despite being coerced to stay, not having direct involvement and refusing to work the following shift it started to bother me whether I might still be culpable for those abortions where as before that didn’t really enter my mind before. The priest had to dive deep into the info around it all asking how I was forced to stay, asking if the theatre list would have been cancelled had I just walked off the ward (which I was told it wouldn’t) and what I was actually doing IE did I enter the theatre/did I obtain the consent/did I advice contraception after. I was given absolution and the priest said he doesn’t believe I really had any culpability but he doesn’t know if God may decide if I require penance/temporal punishment for my indirect involvement with those abortions.

I got pregnant just before my 17th birthday. My boyfriend was the love of my life and we ended up staying together and by 20, I was married. He was a year older. But back to my pregnancy. I was shocked at first, but wanted that baby even though I was still a JR in high school. That baby would've been born in December of 1988. Unfortunately, I was not given the choice to choose life. My mother never talked with me about anything, and my Dad was an absent, raging alcoholic even though they were still married. My mom made the appointment for the abortion and I didn't go to school one day, I was driven to a Woman's Clinic, told nothing other that I had to get an abortion. I was maybe 6-8 weeks along. I went in by myself and came out crying. It literally felt like my insides had been sucked out, and they were! I wanted my baby so badly and so did my boyfriend. I'm still traumatized by that forced abortion. Thank God my boyfriend consoled me. He was also so hurt! We were married for 27 years and we never forgot about our first child. I had a son at 22 after I'd been married for 2 years. Before I had my son, I lost two babies to miscarriages. I felt like that was God's punishment for doing such an awful thing. I just became a grandma on November 1st, and I am thrilled. I can't imagine that beautiful, little boy being exterminated. Girls and women should be made to see the sonogram to know how far along they are, and see that little heart beating, before having an abortion. I have bipolar disorder with mostly depression, PTSD and an anxiety disorder. The forced abortion was just the beginning of my mental anguish.😢

My Mum had a forced abortion before she had my Brother (after marriage) again same father. When my brother was 3 he spoke with my mum about 'the baby they didn't get to name.

However yrs later my mum went to a medium & that medium told her that the little babies soul understood what happened, and was not only with my mum but also through my mother's pain - sent down my brother to help heal my mother's pain. My mum never mentioned any details to the medium, yet he knew she was a 'mother of 3 babies'. He also told her something she never knew - he said 'your baby was a little girl'. The following day our florist who's shop is right next door to our home, knocks the door saying to my mum that someone had ordered flowers then didn't pay or collect them, the florist handed my mum a bunch of pink roses & said , well something told me not to unwrap them all, to give them to you. And she just smiled and laughed. My mum closed the door and broke down in tears, she then whispered her babies name & clutched the roses.

[@Lionforaday]

Prior to med school - and admittedly, in a different moral headspace - I worked as a counsellor at an abortion clinic. I did that for 3 years. I didn't perform the abortions myself, but that doesn't excuse what I did. I do know that I saved a few lives there. I'd turn people away if they weren't sure or if they wanted me to help them decide. And I asked everyone if they'd considered all options - as if most really do that. People said all kinds of things. "I was drinking that night, so it's probably for the best." And, "I couldn't carry a baby 9 months and then give it away." And the desperate, "It's just a bunch of cells at this point, right?" I tried to be honest. Being drunk the night you conceived likely won't hurt the fetus. Is it better to "terminate" a child than "place" them for adoption? And the truest thing of all: "We're all just bunches of cells, when you think about it." None of that excuses my choice to do that job. I took money to facilitate a decision for women at a vulnerable time in their lives. I regret that. The nurses used a fine, food-grade strainer in what amounted to a kitchen sink to check for body parts; they did this to ensure parts of the fetus weren't left behind. I remember the first time I saw a little leg in the strainer, bent at the knee, and a tiny little foot. It was shocking, but I'm ashamed to say the feeling wore-off quickly. I feel numb as I think about it; I feel that way about a lot of things. All these years later, this is the first time I'm talking about it. It's something I truly regret.

God bless you both for the courage, honesty and sensitivity that you both display throughout this difficult conversation. As a physician, I’m not ashamed to admit that I wept openly, sobbed at times listening to this story. This will touch many people who need to hear the truth.

Agreed!

Dr. Bruchaiski's transparency is so moving. God bless as you continue the mission Our Lady has given you.

Before I married in 1969 I asked the priest if birth control was okay. I was told it was ok as long as I planned to have children some day. I was confused at the time but relieved. Eventually I had my tubes tied because I had 2 kids and was 35. It was a confusing time in the 60's and 70's.

I know several who had the same experience. It was very confusing times. The revolution in the Church had started and people didn’t know it. The truth is more out in the open now. It’s easier to know who to trust today than back then. 🙏

I had friends in the 60s who went to certain priests who were known to be lax for contraception advice. I used to tell them that was no excuse at the final judgement.

Thank you, Dr Bruchalski and Tepeyac team, for delivering two of my sweet babies!!

I am 40 minutes into this video…. Holding my four day old granddaughter, who’s 15 month old Down syndrome sister is asleep in the bedroom…. I don’t know if I can finish this video because it’s ripping my human heart out. I can’t imagine what it’s doing to our Lord Jesus. Mary, human arc of the covenant, knowing the of the Father, please intercede for the mothers that have been lied too and misled.
