NPR Plays Abortion on Air
NPR Plays Abortion on Air
As Live Action tweeted, this is nothing more than “a recording of murder.” We must pray against this disregard for human life. We have included the recording from NPR, but also the testimony of an abortionist who no longer performs abortions and a very well-made video about a sonographer’s experience with abortion. Is there someone in your circle who is open to seeing what abortion really is? Perhaps these videos could help get the truth out.
From The Daily Signal. On Thursday morning, NPR played an abortion on air.
Do you want state prayer alerts?
NPR’s Michigan “Morning Edition” on Thursday featured Kate Wells explaining that a Michigan woman aborted her 11-week-old baby at Northland Family Planning in metro Detroit.
“Like many patients at Northland, she said I could record her procedure,” Wells, a reporter, says of the mother in the NPR segment.
“Most patients are partially awake during the procedures, they get IV medication for pain and anxiety,” the reporter continued. “The lights are dimmed, there’s soothing music, it actually feels a lot like a childbirth, in a medical gown, your bare legs and stirrups, and a person next to you, saying, ‘You can do this.’”
Staffer Brandee can be heard telling the mother, “Just keep breathing.”
In the background, the listener can hear the vacuum aspirator machine turn on. According to an October story Wells wrote about the incident: “The machine uses gentle suction to remove” the baby “from the patient’s uterus through a thin tube.”
“Blow it out, blow it out, breath through,” Brandee tells the mother.
The listener can hear the mother moaning over and over as the vacuuming noise continues.
The noise stops.
“You did it,” someone finally tells her.
“Thank you guys so much,” the mother says weakly.
“You are welcome!” someone responds.
“You did great!” another person says cheerfully.
I almost didn't want to tweet this but it's something everyone needs to know. NPR on the radio this morning played audio of a woman getting an abortion. You can hear the vacuum turning on, crying, moaning, and the doctor telling her it's done.

In her October piece for Michigan Radio, Wells notes that abortion clinics “are almost always closed to press.”
“But Michigan Radio got a rare degree of access to Northland Family Planning, a group of clinics in suburban Detroit,” she wrote. “For nine days in August and September, we shadowed a doctor and clinic staff through every step of the process.”
More than two dozen women shared their stories with Michigan Radio, Wells added.
“Northland Family Planning gives every patient numbing medication applied to the cervix, and strong pain and anxiety medications (fentanyl and midazolam) administered intravenously,” Wells wrote of the abortion clinic. “Some patients also get a cervix softener a few hours before the procedure to make dilation easier, depending on how far along their pregnancy is.”
“Once a patient was fully relaxed, Lance would use a speculum to view inside the patient’s vagina, then clean the vagina and cervix with gauze and antiseptic,” she continued. “She then would dilate the cervix, while Brandee monitored the patient’s vitals.”
Wells disputed on Twitter that her story is pro-abortion.
“Abortion is on the ballot in Nov,” she wrote. “I’d argue that getting to see what’s actually happening in clinics right now isn’t biased, it’s factual.”
“Last year, nearly 30k MI women got an abortion in this state,” she continued. “We’ve all heard a million campaign ads. We want our MI audience to have the opportunity to hear and see what’s actually happening directly, rather than from a political campaign. That’s what news should do.”
The NPR segment quickly sparked horror and condemnation from users on social media.
“This clip puts on full display the what an abortion actually is: violence and full on dehumanization of the unborn,” tweeted digital strategist Greg Price. “That’s why it’s important to share. To show reality.”
“So listen to that audio. It’s incredibly tough but it’s important,” he added. “Listen to it and then think to yourself about how the only pitch the Democrat Party is making to the voters in the midterm election is more of that.”
“A recording of a murder,” tweeted the pro-life group Live Action. “Outlaw abortion now.”
“I’m going to caveat this tweet with the fact that I am have not and will not listen to it,” said commentator Bethany Mandel. “But this kind of tactic, showing Americans the reality of abortion, might really backfire.”
American Principles Project President Terry Schilling reminded Twitter users that Rush Limbaugh “did a stunt on his radio show where he told the listeners that he was going to play the sounds of an abortion.”
“In reality, he just turned on a vacuum and pretended,” Schilling said. “Listeners were disgusted. Can’t believe we’ve gotten the Left to expose themselves like this.”
NPR, Wells, Michigan Radio, and Northland Family Planning did not immediately responded to requests for comment from The Daily Signal.
A pop-up on Northland Family Planning’s website urges women to vote for Michigan’s Proposition 3, the Reproductive Freedom for All amendment, warning: “If we fail, Michigan may become like many other states where abortion is illegal, banning treatment for miscarriage management, ectopic pregnancies, IUDs, morning after pill, contraception, and even forcing doctors to delay lifesaving treatment. YOU CAN STOP THIS.”

Just imagine there is a man who photographed what Happened because after being jailed. The final stipulation is that He has to pay 2.4 Mil. To the Planned Parenthood org. How much and how far will humans go against you OurCreator? We choose you Father God and your son Jesus. We know you are a God of mercy and grace.
I am praying, I won’t listen to that clip though. Having had a 20 week miscarriage it is all too real what they are doing I held my 17-20 week old baby girl in the palm of my hands I saw that she was a “she” and there is no way anyone can convince me that the unborn don’t have rights…. everyone screams about the “mother’s right” but who is speaking for the unborn if not us? Thank you Lord, for annihilating these evil leaders this November 8th!
As if the overturning of Roe vs. Wade was not enough, this country continues to boast its evil and wickedness. You are the ultimate judge of this country and the people who defy your Ten Commandments will pay the price for eternity!
It is with GREAT shame & utter regret that I am one of those women who chose to abort my baby.
Over 40 years ago, I made the WORST decision in ALL my life!!!
Although I have repented & confessed with all my heart of my horrible, horrible sin, & knowing that JESUS has mercifully & graciously forgiven me, I am still haunted by the evil choice of doing-away/killing my own baby…who would be my first born.
It is a [CHOICE], a decision made, that is FINAL & ETERNAL….a PRECIOUS LIFE TAKEN; the magnitude of such a [Choice] goes far beyond the moment of escape or convenience!!
I HATE the BLOOD-THIRSTINESS of our nation…to the extent that the U.S. actually sends billions of dollars to fund abortions in other Countries!!
Our government is pure evil in their leadership in funding & supporting this BLOOD-BATH of our most innocent & vulnerable & helpless!!
I fear the JUST JUDGMENT of GOD upon the wickedness that permeates our Land & the MANY workers-of-iniquity, & of ALL those who relentlessly PUSH, celebrate & support this evil as the precious blood of our BABIES rise to the horses bridle…WOE to the United States of America!
Thank you Patsy for being brave to tell your story. You will see your little baby again in Heaven and what a great reunion that will be!
May God help us in this nation to turn to Him and away from sin. Our ONLY HOPE IS JESUS!!!
I would like to say to Christian voter residents of NJ for the upcoming election: as nice as Andy Kim seems, his campaign mailed out a printed ad stating that his opponent, Bob Healey said that overturning Roe versus Wade was the right decision and further stating that Andy Kim supports abortion…it was paid for with Andy Kim’s campaign funds…even if Healey is being presented as a yacht company owning spoiled privledged elite, the bottom line is he supports overturning Roe versus Wade or at had the courage to at least say he does…Andy Kim is not ashamed to say he supports abortion, so if you are torn by appearances as I was, that campaign flier was the kicker that settled it for me.
I know there are many Christians (so called) who are living together without marriage. Calling yourself a Christian yet not living God’s way is a huge sin for the people involved. Being a Christian is a lifestyle and how to do it is found in the Bible. Saying “I’m a Christian “does not make you one. We all sin but a true Christian is trying in his/her heart ❤️ ❤️to live God’s way empowered by Holy Spirit. Please pray for a Godly lifestyle for every Christian!!! Amen
May this serve to open the eyes of those who don’t understand yet how horrible and evil the abortion procedure is. I rebuke it in the powerful and loving name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Life begins at conception. This is murder. One of the Ten Commandments is “ Thou Shalt Not Kill. People who don’t want babies should refrain from having sex. The plague of immorality in our country is shocking. Father God how we need to repent and live your way!! Let repentance happen in Jesus’s Name. Our younger people especially need Jesus desperately. We must reach out in love 🥰 to them. Amen
They continue to lie, saying there will be no treatment for miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. This is evil!
Lord, I pray that this will back fire on them, boomerang, and that they will continue to be exposed so they can be removed!
“If we fail, Michigan may become like many other states where abortion is illegal, banning treatment for miscarriage management, ectopic pregnancies, IUDs, morning after pill, contraception, and even forcing doctors to delay lifesaving treatment. YOU CAN STOP THIS.”
Facts: All of the states that have outlawed abortion make an exception for the health/life of the mother. Some of these states also make exceptions for abortions before 6 weeks of pregnancy, for severe birth defects and/or for cases of rape or incest. Federal Republican lawmakers have also recently introduced legislation that would limit abortion nationwide to the first 15 weeks of pregnancy; this bill also includes exceptions for rape, incest and the life and health of the mother.
Fringe efforts to ban contraception lack political support and are not constitutional.
There will be no changes in the treatment of ectopic pregnancies.
Treatment for ectopic pregnancy and abortion are not the same. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants in a woman’s fallopian tube or ovary instead of her uterus. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says that ectopic pregnancy “cannot result in the survival of a baby and entails a very substantial risk of maternal death or disability.” The medical definition of “abortion” is removal of an embryo and placenta from the uterus. Since ectopic pregnancies occur outside of the uterus, their removal is not an abortion.
Miscarriage care is protected by law.
As commonly understood, abortion is an intervention that ends a pregnancy. A miscarriage is a pregnancy loss. Some miscarriage patients require medical treatment, and sometimes the treatment, such as a Dilation and Extraction (or “D&E”) procedure, which clears the uterus of fetal tissue, are similar to those performed on abortion patients. And sometimes miscarriage is treated with drugs that are similarly used to cause chemical abortions. The critical difference, of course, is that in the case of miscarriage the pregnancy has already been lost.
Among medical providers, the term “spontaneous abortion” is used to describe a miscarriage. What most people think of simply as “abortion” is called “induced abortion” in the medical world. But the two events are still distinct. Even Texas, the state with the most restrictive new abortion law, makes it clear in other statutes that healthcare providers can legally act to “remove a dead, unborn child whose death was caused by spontaneous abortion.” Therefore, miscarriage care is protected by law.
These child killers love to twist the truth to scare people. They are in the pockets of the left and the left is in their pockets. It’s a huge money making scheme.
The amount of money that they have spent on misinformation and propaganda would have been better used to actually help the women and their children.
I pray in the name of Jesus that You will call out many more people who have been swept up in the deceptive rhetoric. Remove the scales from their eyes so they see the Truth. Help them forsake the self-righteousness and recognize that only You are right all the time. Open their ears to hear Truth, and give them minds and hearts to understand and receive the Truth.
Protect the children, O Merciful LORD. Send millstones chasing after those that would do the children harm.
Jesus, we pray you would purify our land from the defilement of abortion, that your blood would cleanse the land of iniquity.
Hear our prayers. Open eyes and ears. Give those who campaign for the death of children become horrified by what they have yoked themselves to.
With the authority of the LORD, I reverse the satanic curses spoken over America. I cast down every spell and incantation. In Jesus name I cast down every wicked work and every wicked word. I say to them “You shall die and not live because GREATER IS HE that is within us that he that is in the world.” I pray that You take away their peace, and sleep, and fill them with the terror that eternity in hell holds in store for the workers of evil until they repent for the murder of innocent babies.
Heavenly Father, I thank and praise you for hearing my prayers and sending Your angel armies to thwart the plans of the demons and their worshipers. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered.
I pray for those who are deceived by satan’s demons to have the gospel presented to them with Your Power and might so that they will come to know the Truth and be set free.
Free our land from this defilement.
In Jesus name….
Thank you for sharing these important facts! My interview with Janet Porter, architect of the Heartbeat Bill, posted this morning on http://www.HeadlinePrayer.org. She said pro-abortionists have outspent them $44 million to one in Michigan, where they’re trying to make people aware of how heinous Proposition 3 is!
Lord, may people vote for LIFE this day!
Most people do not understand the horror of abortion. NPR put it on full display. Our tax dollars are paying for this propaganda and need to pray that they be defunded like the police during the summer of rage in blue states. May God have mercy on our country.
Heavenly Father, I pray this would have the opposite affect intended by the clinic that released this video. I pray this would open the eyes of more Americans and they will understand this barbaric practice hurts women and destroys life.
All believers have a responsibility to do all each of us can do to stop the murdering of GODs creation. Just because you may not engage in an abortion does not excuse you from taking action to get abortions stopped. To be passive toward such heinous crimes against the unborn children. So I ask, what are you doing? Are you financially supporting the organizations that are fighting to get abortions stopped? Are you volunteering to communicate that abortions are wrong in GOD’s eyes? Is your vote speaking the truth, even if only on the single platform of abortion? One day we will all face judgment, not only for what we did but maybe more severely for what we didn’t do. Love is an action. May our nation take action for the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I only read the heading on this, I cannot stand to read the content of this message. I am praying that evil be defeated in Jesus’ name and that NPR is dismantled to be no more.! Oh Lord destroy, destroy, destroy this evil, and replace it with righteousness and life for the unborn!!!
A bill simply banning the merchandizing of abortion, that it would be done for free and no one performing an abortion would be paid anything would expose the truth about it that it’s the blood money that drives it! Probably a billion $ indusry! No doctor on his free time would perform an abortion for free!
This action by NPR is intrinsically evil in it’s intent and smacks of hate crime incision. Being that NPR is funded in part by our tax dollars, all federal support needs to be withdrawn immediately. However, the liberal progressives in Washington will laud this damnation and our Justice Department will look the other way. Dear Lord Jesus, please grant us victory on election day! Amen ….

Share this with everyone advocating for abortion rights. A harsh reality dose is often needed to change a heart. Weep yes, but then do something. 🙏
1 out of every 4 women has had an abortion. These 1 in 4 women are wounded, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically for the rest of their lives. Living with the fact that they murdered their own baby, has to be a living hell. Look into a room of more than 4 women, one or 2 of them is suffering, it could be yourself.
🙏🏼Dear Father God in heaven, we thank You for Your great love. Only That love can help these injured women. Open their hearts to You, Help them come to You for forgiveness. Let Your forgiveness heal their mind, soul, and body. Give them a voice to fight against this great evil. Let this madness stop. In Jesus name we pray. 🕊🤰🏼🤱🏽👩👧🙌🏼Choose life.
