Northland Family Planning Centers of Michigan are advertising their services with newly created videos which calls abortion “sacred work.”
Sacred? Sacred is defined as “entitled to veneration or religious respect by association with divinity or divine things; holy.”
The video is part of a series of videos highlighting their abortion services and states, “We believe in the goodness of our work.” The spokesperson points to a sign hanging in the abortion clinic that says “We do sacred work that honors women and the circle of life and death. When you come here bring only love.”
The clinic says that abortion while being a “normal experience” and sadly that is true as there have been over 45 million abortions since its legalization as the video points out. But the spokesperson goes further and says that abortion is also “a sign of strength courage and responsibility to thoughtfully consider whether or not to bring new life into the world.”
The video highlights a quote from murdered late term abortionist Dr. George Tiller and showcases it against a pink backdrop with a heart behind it while a soft piano plays in the background.
Abortion is not a cerebral or reproductive issue. Abortion is a matter of the heart. For until one understands the heart of a woman, nothing else about abortion makes any sense at all. Dr. George Tiller 1941-2009
The clinic’s spokesperson assures women, “We believe you are making your decision from a place of goodness” and reminds them that “Goodness is not perfection, not obedience and it is not martyrdom. There is not one way of living a good life and sometimes we have to make hard choices.”
The clinic’s website tells mothers about some ways of coping with abortion including “releasing a symbolic object into the water, planting a tree or writing a poem. It would be a way for you to memorialize the day and move forward.”
They also suggest writing a letter to “the spirit of the child.”
Many women find they are talking to the spirit of the child inside of them. It may be useful and helpful to write your thoughts on paper. Some women write how they came to their decision, some ask for forgiveness. Some thank the spirit for the wisdom or thoughts they have had about life. Some write about the love they feel. Sometimes, having a way to say goodbye is an important part of healing.
But the clinic warns women about where to go to find answers.
“Remember: Go to factual and supportive sites. Use our Resources, or Choice Link Up. Avoid the negative traps of anti-choice sites.”
I’m sure they wouldn’t want their patients reading sites that don’t think their clinic is quite so sacred.
Abortion is the result of the absence of love – love which is good, holy, sacred.
Update: As of 5 p.m. on Friday, it looks like the Northland clinic has pulled the video. All the attention of thousands of thousands of folks forced them to pull it. That’s good news.
Update: I found another copy and posted it on Youtube.

"Abortion is a matter of the heart."
So she's channeling Mola Ram from the Temple of Doom here? What gives?

Another attempt to justify the murder of a child in it's mother's womb. Like they say, you just can't fix stupid.

"You are a good woman…." Your conscience tells you that killing a kid in the womb is wrong, but it is ignored.

Anonymous, I like your comments.

It is much easier to seek out a circle of people to confirm you in your sin and help you smother you conscience than it is to face the consequences of your actions. Which is the "tough choice"?
December 3, 2009 at 8:13 pm
This is a perfect example of the regard abortion advocates have in women. They really think they can convince women that it is a rational choice to kill their baby. The baby is a human being, not a lump of flesh with no feeling. Videos of abortions have shown the baby trying to avoid the abortionists weapon of destruction. Anyone who can really think of this procedure as sacred, holy, etc. is either mentally unbalanced or purely evil. Scary how this society has produced so many people who no longer place a value on all life, just productive or convenient life. We are in real trouble. Could this be the slippery slope warned against by people of conscience back in 1973?

Isnt the circle of life the natural life and death cycle? That come right from the Disney movie Lion King! When you create life and artificially terminate it should that be called the "Semi-Circle of Life" ?

Goodness? Sacred? Never heard murder called that before. Are these people joking?

She needs to read "Kill a conscience in seven steps" —

This is just a evil as the abortion clinic in Illinois that has the rubber chicken on the cross in one of its windows… another abortion mill insanity….I'm sure there's something else these people can find to do for a living…they are well-versed in spinning; maybe advertising?

OMG! These people are all severely mentally ill and possesed by satan!! These evil creatures are totally inhuman!!
December 3, 2009 at 11:37 pm
Typical leftist insanity…. Attach any excuse for the killing of an unborn baby and you give BIRTH to a LIB ! Revulsion beyond comprehension.

This is perhaps one of the most disturbing and sick videos I have seen. It is insidious thanks to the soft tones and atmosphere of caring. What an utter perversion of true love.
December 3, 2009 at 11:47 pm
What is our world coming to?? When evil can sit there and make the statement that "abortions come from the heart"!! Please help blood is shooting from my eyes. But understand one thing..no matter how GOOD Northland thinks they are doing….GOD will be the ultimate judge. Every person who worked at Northland or any abortion clinic or anyone who supports abortion will have to answer to all those aborted souls on judgement day. It will be God and all these lost souls that will determine their fate. And believers we know which way they will be going. Keep on loving and keep on speaking out against abortion.

Dr. Louis Huh? , just goes to show that book smarts isn,t the same thing as commonsense smarts. BTW, your comment was pretty ignorant.
How many times did this baby killer spokesman say "good person"? I wanted to projectile vomit hearing her with the soft piano music in the backgound speaking of murdering babies as "normal". It's a good thing her momma didn't follow her "normal"urge to have her killed.

We need to pray for the woman in the video, that God will set her free from the deception of the devil, and that she will come to know God's Truth in the person of Jesus Christ.
I firmly believe that if we don't pray for a person/situation that presents itself, then we don't have the right to complain about it.

I think I'll release "a symbolic object into the water" as a way to memorialize the Northland Family Planning Centers of Michigan and move forward. Afterwards, I will flush. After all, "having a way to say goodbye is an important part of healing."

When you realize you are pregnant…you instinctively know in your HEART that a new human person is coming into existence….You can listen to all the lies they toss at you but in the middle of the night your HEART will awaken you and remind you of the life trying to "be"….wanting to be LOVED into existence….of course you can try to destroy hearing it by DRUGS, ALCOHOL, and ANTI-DEPRESSANTS…..but you could choose to give the gift of life…a profoundly amazing gift that only women are capable of giving…even if it means…giving the child the "gift" and then letting a couple love into a full life. It is also a gift that some cuoples will never be able to have. I have never watched anything so SAD in my life as the lies spoken by the Northland Clinic.

A great was to say goodbye to these babies would be to wave goodbye as they leave with loving adoptive parents!
