“I Cut the Vocal Cord So The Baby Can't
Scream.”

Dr. Leah Torres, an OB/GYN in Salt Lake City, Utah, said that when she performs certain abortions she cuts the vocal cord of the baby so "there's really no opportunity" for the child to scream. She also described herself as a "uterus ripper outer" because she performs hysterectomies.
Petition Calls on Pope Francis to Formally Discipline Joe Biden at Oct. 29 Meeting in Rome
(CNS News) -- Because President Joe Biden, a Catholic, supports abortion and yet still presents himself for Holy Communion at Sunday Mass -- in defiance of Church teaching -- the Catholic-based Life Site News has launched a petition calling on Pope Francis to formally discipline Biden when they meet in Rome on Oct. 29.
The petition urges the Pope "to tell Biden that he will face formal excommunication because of his public and obstinate promotion of abortion, and that if he wishes to return to communion with the Church he must immediately and publicly stop and repent from his active support of the culture of death."
"This is the prime opportunity for the Pope to make it crystal clear to Biden: Promoting abortion is absolutely and utterly incompatible with being in communion with the Church, and that those politicians who publicly and obstinately support abortion effectively put themselves outside communion with the Church, but also merit formal excommunication," reads the petition.
"Joe Biden's active and concentrated promotion of abortion since he took office only 9 months ago is a grave scandal to the faithful of the United States, and to Catholics everywhere," reads the document.
The petition also notes that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has done nothing "to directly and publicly address how Biden's radical, public promotion of abortion affects his standing in the Church."
"The silence from our American shepherds is deafening," states the petition. "Therefore, Pope Francis must now intervene to protect our preborn brothers and sisters from death, to protect authentic Church teaching from deceitful 'Catholics' like Joe Biden, and to protect the faithful from the grievous scandal caused by Biden's action and the intolerable dithering and 'dialoging' engaged in by the USCCB."
As president, vice president under Barack Obama, and as a U.S. senator for 36 years, Joe Biden has promoted, implemented, and voted for pro-abortion policies.
He supports Roe v. Wade and wants to see it codified into federal law. In his budget proposals, Biden has removed the Hyde Amendment, which prevents using tax dollars to pay for abortion, except in the cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is at risk.
In a Sept. 5 commentary in the Washington Post, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, citing Biden and pro-abortion House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), wrote, "Since the Roe decision, more than 60 million lives have been lost to abortion. ... You cannot be a good Catholic and support expanding a government-approved right to kill innocent human beings. ... This is hardly inappropriate for a pastor to say."
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, "Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law."
In an address to the Ponticial Academy for Life at the Vatican on Sept. 27, Pope Francis said abortion "is truly murder."
In his 1995 encyclical letter Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life), Pope St. John Paul II wrote, "In the case of an intrinsically unjust law, such as a law permitting abortion or euthanasia, it is therefore never licit to obey it, or to 'take part in a propaganda campaign in favor of such a law, or vote for it.'"
In 2002, the future Pope Benedict XVI wrote in The Participation of Catholics in Political Life, "those who are directly involved in lawmaking bodies have a grave and clear obligation to oppose any law that attacks human life. For them, as for every Catholic, it is impossible to promote such laws or to vote for them."
According to news reports, President Biden and Pope Francis are expected to discuss the COVID pandemic and climate change.
As this story was posted, nearly 13,000 people had signed the petition.
Is an Infanticide Defender the Best Biden Can Do for Health Post Nominee?
By Bill Donohue | October 22, 2021 | 4:03pm EDT
If credentials were sufficient grounds for holding a position in the Biden Administration, Atul Gawande would merit a unanimous vote. He is a Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School, a graduate of Harvard Medical School, a Rhodes Scholar, a distinguished author, and the former CEO of a healthcare organization. This is surely why President Biden has nominated him to be assistant administrator of the Bureau for Global Health at the U.S. Agency for International Development.
There are very good reasons, however, why Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) sounded the alarm on Gawande. He is a defender of infanticide, a reflection, no doubt, of his crass utilitarian philosophy. In short, credentials, no matter how stellar, tell us nothing about the ethics of the person.
Rubio, who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, centers his objection to Gawande on a 1998 essay he wrote for Slate, the left-wing media outlet. It was a full-throated defense of partial-birth abortion.
Gawande casually describes what partial-birth abortion entails:
"The fetus is delivered feet first. To get the large head out, the doctor cuts open a hole at the base of the fetus's skull and inserts tubing to suck out the brain, which collapses the skull. Often, but not always, the fetus is injected lethally beforehand."
Gawande knows how normal people react to this monstrous procedure, and he has a ready answer for them:
"If partial-birth abortion is too gruesome to allow, however, it is hard to see how other late abortions, especially D and Es [dilatation and evacuation], are any different."
He's right about that.
"About 80 percent of late-term abortions are done by D and E. A couple of days ahead, small, absorbent rods are put in the pregnant woman's cervical opening to expand it gradually. Then, for the actual procedure, she—and the fetus—are given heavy sedation or general anesthesia. The doctor breaks her bag of water and drains out the fluid. The opening won't let the fetus out whole. So the doctor uses metal tongs, physically crushes the head, and dismembers the fetus. The pieces are pulled out and counted to confirm that nothing was missed."
Not even a toe.
Gawande speaks with clinical detachment about the most Nazi-like practices.
"What makes abortion disturbing is that the fetus is big now—like a fully formed child. Two of my obstetrician friends, both strongly pro-choice, told me that, even when it is a mother's life at stake and abortion is absolutely necessary, doing the D and E feels 'horrible.' We imagine, as we look in the fetus's eyes, that there is someone in there."
Imagine that. A big unborn child, who `miraculously resembles a "fully formed child," inspires those who look into his eyes that there really is someone there!
Hooman Noorchashm is an M.D. who also holds a Ph.D. He worked with Gawande at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), a Harvard-affiliated entity, in Boston. On Dec. 11, 2018, he wrote a letter to Gawande commenting on his appointment as the new CEO of Haven Healthcare.
Noorchashm raked Gawande over the coals for going mute on a serious scandal that took place at the hospital when they worked there. A surgical tool was used during hysterectomies that spread a dangerous cancer in some of the hospital's patients.
The device is called a morcellator. It is used to cut up and remove tissue to treat fibroids. While these growths are usually benign, they sometimes cannot be detected before surgery. As described by the Wall Street Journal, which covered the scandal, "Morcellation can send pieces of malignant tissue into other parts of the abdomen, significantly reducing a woman's chance of long-term survival, the FDA said." One of the women treated at BWH died after a hysterectomy with morcellation in 2012. She was 52.
When Noorchashm spoke to Gawande about this issue, he was struck by his cowardly silence. What makes this so disturbing is that Gawande has a reputation as the guardian of public safety. Moreover, he was fully aware of a critical analysis of what was going on at BWH.
Noorchashm said in his letter to him that "you failed to rise up, at all, to defend a surgical and ethical critique and position [of this dangerous operation] you knew was absolutely correct—I know that your silence was for the sake of internal politics, or perhaps it was because of the ethically imbalanced utilitarian philosophy your writings seem to promote."
Noorshashm didn't mince words. "Maybe you too believe that the majority benefit and cost/revenue advantages somehow justified the minority subset of women whose cancers were being spread and upstaged by GYNs using their 'meat-grinders' through small holes."
He called Gawande's selection as CEO of Haven Healthcare "monumentally frightening."
Surely the Biden Administration can find someone who has a more humane record than Gawande. It does not exaggerate to say that he is a direct threat to public safety.
