Pastor Defends Having a Late-Term Abortion: “It Was the Right Course of Action for Me”

Another woman with a painful pregnancy story defended her late-term abortion this week in reaction to Donald Trump’s remarks at the last presidential debate.

During the Oct. 19 debate, Trump exposed the brutal nature of late-term abortions and the extremism of pro-abortion challenger Hillary Clinton, who supports late-term and partial-birth abortions up until birth.

The Rev. Dr. Amy Butler responded to Trump’s comments in a column for USA Today this week, explaining why she chose a late-term abortion for her daughter.

“As I heard Donald Trump talk about babies being ‘ripped’ from their mothers’ wombs, as if ending a pregnancy is a reckless, irresponsible afterthought, my outrage poured down my face in angry tears,” Butler wrote. “In those moments, Trump, who has never been pregnant and presumably has navigated this far in his life without undertaking any difficult, gut-wrenching, gray-area decisions, used my own pain — deep, deep pain — to advance his political agenda.”

A minister at The Riverside Church in New York City, Butler said her decision to abort her daughter “ended a dream” for her and her husband. She described how excited she was when they found out that they were having a second child, a girl.

They told her that her unborn baby girl had a potentially fatal developmental problem and probably was in pain. She also learned that her own life was in danger if she continued the pregnancy to full term. The doctors gave her three options: abort, deliver the baby early, or wait.
Butler said she was heartbroken, but she did not think twice. She decided to abort her unborn daughter.
