I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Seeing is believing. The horrific images of the Holocaust led us to say, “Never again!” They are among the reasons that when a lone wacko shoots a single security guard at the Holocaust museum, it becomes international front page news. Yet thousands of innocent babies are murdered everyday by poison and violent dismemberment and they don’t even merit an obituary.
The recent media images of George Tiller can be summed up by a sheet-covered stretcher wheeling out of his church. 
If you watch CNN or read liberal news sources, you saw younger photos of him. 
If you watch FOX News or read conservative sources, you saw his more recent photos. What no one saw was George Tiller’s legacy. 60,000 plus aborted babies – many of whom were only a few weeks before birth.
Until these images are seen and strike our hearts, this horror like the Holocaust before the German defeat, will seem unreal. The world could not believe such a thing could happen until they saw it with their own eyes. 
Like the German SS, there are people today who are somehow able to silence their hearts, close their eyes, take their hands and snuff out the lives of our most defenseless. Even as we speak, there are those making plans to step in and take over for George Tiller.
There was someone though who saw the carnage in Tiller’s clinic first-hand. She also saw how the reality behind closed doors differed from Tiller’s public image. She went from being pro-choice to making appearances for Operation Rescue. This is her story:
Luhra Tivis, who was hired as a temp worker for Tiller and eventually became a full employee for one year, discussed her story Tuesday with the Enid News & Eagle in the wake of Tiller’s death May 31. Tiller was shot and killed while serving as an usher in his Lutheran church. His family has stated that Tiller’s Wichita abortion facility, Women’s Health Care Services, will not reopen.
In addition to normal secretarial work, Tivis told the Eagle that she “underwent some sales training” when she began work in 1988. In a separate testimony, published on the Pro-Life Action League’s website, Tivis explained: “I thought they were going to tell me how they want the information sheet filled out and how to keep the phone record and this and that.
“But what I was handed instead was a packet of information – materials to study – on how to be a high-pressure salesperson over the phone, like telemarketing: how to convince somebody to buy your product.”
Though Tivis says Tiller assured her at the outset that he only performed late-term abortions on “severely deformed” children or for a medical crisis, Tivis says she soon came to realize that Tiller’s words were not consistent with his practice.
“I was seeing eight- and nine-month pregnant women come in,” she said, “and out of those two dozen a week, only about 2 percent had medical deformities. I thought I was pro-choice back then, but week after week I kept seeing these women coming in with healthy babies and I saw all the records. I didn’t think that was right.”
Tivis’ testimony is congruent with the allegations of Operation Rescue, who had frequently denounced Tiller for killing perfectly healthy late-term babies. At the time of his death, Tiller was under investigation by the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts for performing illegal late-term abortions.
Discussing the typical abortion procedure, Tivis told the Pro-Life Action League in a previous interview: “[the mothers] have a sonogram, first thing and he tells them, ‘Oh, you’re not that far along.’ He’s very happy to take their money. Then the first thing he does to them is he kills that baby, because once that baby is dead, they can’t change their mind and get their money back.
“He uses the sonogram — a tool for life — to kill the baby. He uses that to guide the needle into the baby’s heart and he injects it with digoxin, which is a heart medication and it slows the baby’s heart down.
“The second day, the women come in and they have little group counseling sessions, but they don’t do any counseling until after that baby is already dead.”
Livis described the testimony of a Southwest Kansas woman who had written a letter to Tiller, which Tivis says the abortionist distributed to his staff to read, describing her third-trimester abortion there as “the most horrible experience of her life.”
“Although I was not down in the basement for any more than just a few seconds when those women were down there, I got a very vivid description of what actually went on down there from this woman,” said Tivis, referring to a room in the facility where women would give birth to their babies’ corpses following an abortion. ”She said that women were crying and screaming and there was blood everywhere – blood running down their legs and it was just horrible.”
One of the more disturbing aspects of the abortion process at Tiller’s clinic was the “memorial services” he openly offered, as published on his website, to parents after they had killed their child. Tiller even employed a chaplain at his clinic, where he offered baptisms, baptismal certificates, and mementos such as a lock of hair or “fetal footprints.”
The clinic also offered parents a chance to bond with the child’s corpse for a little while after the abortion, in a process Tiller described in a 1996 promotional video as an “identification and separation encounter.”
“We will bring the baby to you, either at the bedside, or we will go to our quiet room, and we will bring the baby to you there,” said the abortionist.
“During this encounter we will describe to you what’s right with your baby, we will identify what’s wrong with your baby. You may hold the baby. We can take pictures of you and the family holding the baby, if you wish, and that is not an uncommon request. … the identification/separation encounter may involve 2 or 3 hours of bonding with the baby - the identification that this is your baby and you have had a delivery.”
Tivis told the Eagle about one pivotal experience just before leaving the office: Tiller emerged from the surgery room with a cardboard box one day and asked her to open a door for him. Tivis saw his crematorium – where the babies’ remains are regularly incinerated.
“I realized that box was full of dead babies,” said Tivis. ”That freaked me out.”
She says Tiller fired her after an attorney she had applied for a position with told Tiller she was searching for jobs.
A Tiller spokeswoman later contradicted Tivis’ testimony at a meeting of the Senate State and Federal Affairs Committee, denying that Tiller performed abortions on healthy late-term babies and calling Tivis a “disgruntled employee whose credibility is lacking because of that,” according to a Wichita Eagle report.
Tivis has since then been active with Operation Rescue, and has spoken at pro-life rallies across the United States.
Seeing is believing. If you consider yourself pro-choice, I challenge you to visit anyone of a number of sites online or simply click here and view the photos. See abortion for what it is, not as a word or a debate. If your heart is then turned, seek to help end this holocaust and make “Never again!” humanity’s cry once again. If your heart is not turned, seek counseling.

I cannot even watch The Silent Scream movie, it is enough for me to know that it exists! Just being a taxpayer who has some of her money go toward this holocaust is disturbing to me!

I remember when I was still forcing myself to stand outside the abortion mill and events for PP, when a woman approached a young man (he was no more that 12) after he said “save the babies” to those going into the “Chilli for Choice” dinner at Unity on the Plaza. She asked him what babies was he talking about. He answered, the one’s being killed by abortion. She denied that a baby was killed, a foetus is not a baby.
Until the pro-abortion community begins to think of the pre-born as persons, some need to recognise them as even human, the entire pro-life movement will be stagnant. When they begin to see the aborted baby as a person, then they will realise the murder, the killing of innocents that is being performed.

It’s all linguistic gymnastics… if it’s wanted it’s a baby. If it’s not wanted it’s a fetus. Not unlike the use of language in the third reich where those rounded up were “subhuman.”
