If you thought what late-term abortionist Willie Parker told the Washington Post last week was bad, just wait until you see what he told the New Jersey Star-Ledgeron Sunday. Speaking to the Ledger’s Julie O’Connor (whose questions were every bit as soft as the Post’s Sarah Kliff’s), Parker incredibly cites his faith and Martin Luther King as inspirations for his bloody work:
I wrestled with the morality of it. I grew up in the South and in fundamentalist Protestantism, I was taught that abortion is wrong.
Yet as I pursued my career as an OB/GYN, I saw the dilemmas that women found themselves in. And I could no longer weigh the life of a pre-viable or lethally flawed fetus equally with the life of the woman sitting before me.
In listening to a sermon by Dr. Martin Luther King, I came to a deeper understanding of my spirituality, which places a higher value on compassion. King said what made the good Samaritan “good” is that instead of focusing on would happen to him by stopping to help the traveler, he was more concerned about what would happen to the traveler if he didn’t stop to help.
