A True Story Of An Abortion At The Office of Dr. George Tiller

In the United States this happened??

- December 2006 -

 

THE FOLLOWING IS AN UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT (TRANSCRIBED BY ME) OF A SEGMENT FROM THE TUESDAY DECEMBER 12, 2006, EPISODE OF THE O'REILLY FACTOR ON THE FOX NEWS CHANNEL. IN THE FOLLOWING SEGMENT, KELLY DESCRIBES HER EXPERIENCE AT THE ABORTION MILL OF THE NOTORIOUS DR. GEORGE TILLER. KELLY WAS 14 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE EXPERIENCE. A video of this segment is posted at You Tube.

O'REILLY: So, you were 20 weeks pregnant when you brought this to your parents' attention, I understand. In the state of Maryland, you could not have an abortion that late, but your father and mother decided to take you to Kansas where Tiller advertises on the 'Net. Everybody knows who he is. He'll abort babies at any time. So your parents take you there. You go into the clinic. Pick it up from there.

KELLY: Well, it was a five-day process. And when I first went in, they have counseling that they offer. It's a group counseling with other women who are going through the same thing. And during the five days, they insert expandable 'whatever' into the cervix to slowly dilate you through the five-day process. And about the third or fourth day, the doctors (inaudible) in and injected into the amniotic sac a saline solution which suffocated and burned my baby to death. And on the last day, they put you in a room with other women. There's like - maybe - six-to-ten beds in a big room. And every woman is lying there. And they kinda go down the line and whoever's ready - they decide that you're dilated enough, and they put you in a wheelchair and wheel you out to another room. And in this other room, there's basically a toilet. And they told me to sit on the toilet, lean on the nurse, and push - push my baby into a toilet. And after that, they wheel you into another room to remove all the 'after-birth.' And that's the only two times I ever saw the doctor was when he injected the saline solution and when he finished the process by removing the afterbirth. And this is all very graphic, and I think that that's very important that people know that's going on in our country.

O'REILLY: Absolutely. And I applaud your courage. Now, did the doctor say anything to you?

KELLY: Umm, no. I mean, what I remember today is that no one ever said anything to me about what was going to happen during that five-day process, or what was going to happen when I left that clinic, or ten years down the road what was going to happen.

O'REILLY: But Tiller himself. When he injected the fetus with the killing agent and then when he took the afterbirth, he never said anything to you at all.

KELLY: "This will all be over soon."

O'REILLY: "This will all be over soon." What happened to the body?

KELLY: I have no idea. I left my baby dead in a toilet.

O'REILLY: And when you got out from there, after the process was over, you went where?

(CROSSTALK / CLARIFICATION)

KELLY: To a hotel room and then back home.

O'REILLY: So you left the clinic right after you discharged the baby, the dead baby, and then they put your coat on, and you went back to a hotel.

KELLY: Yes.

O'REILLY: How do you feel about that? The whole thing?

KELLY: I'm disgusted. I'm disgusted that women are told that they have a choice, yet no one tells us what that choice is or what that choice is going to do to us, or to the baby for that matter. I mean, very few people I think know that this is what happens. It's not just an 'easy solution,' it's not an answer to any problem. It only creates other problems.

O'REILLY: What happened to you after the abortion?

KELLY: Umm, Many things. I was traumatized, so I have lots of symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. I had very low self-esteem. I was promiscuous. I used drugs. I had eating disorders. (Composing herself.) Lots of horrible things. And when I think, What would the worst case scenario be: That I have my child? That would have been better than having gone through all of the effects of the depression, suicidal thoughts, all of that that happened afterwards.

O'REILLY: Kelly, don't beat yourself up. You were 13 years old, 14 when the abortion happened. Y'know - You know better now. You're courageous you came on. You told the nation what's happening in Kansas. Very few people will do that, and we really appreciate your courage very much. Thank you. And we'll be right back.
