Georgia Right to Life Commends Grady Memorial Hospital Director
LAWRENCEVILLE, GA –Georgia Right to Life commends Otis Story for shutting down Grady’s abortion program and training services. “It’s a wonderful thing to see someone act so quickly and decisively,” said Caryl Swift, president of Georgia Right to Life. “Mr. Story was in charge of Grady for only a month before he prohibited the abortions at Grady. This shows strength and character.”
Swift also commended Rep. Melvin Everson for taking such a strong stance on the issue. “Rep. Everson has always been a champion for life, and we thank him for the investigative work he is doing in the matter of Grady Memorial Hospital, and the possibility that illegal abortions were being performed there.”
“I find it disturbing and ironic that a taxpayer owned and funded hospital would be a major training ground for new abortionists in the region,” said Josh Brahm, GRTL Director of Education and Public Relations. “The abortion community has been pushing harder to train new abortionists because there is a shortage of physicians willing to kill babies.”
This trend isn’t new. Lynne Randall, then Executive Director of Feminist Women’s Health Center in Atlanta was quoted in a 1991 article in Glamour magazine saying, “For two years, I sent out letters to every completing ob/gyn resident in the country – over two thousand letters – without getting any response. I advertised in trade publications, I talked to search firms, all without result.” Why the low response? Diane Derzis, an abortion clinic administrator was quoted in the Atlanta Journal Constitution on May 16, 1993 saying, “There’s still the shame thing, even among people who are pro-choice… We are still seen as dirty, even among our own people.” “It makes sense,” noted 24-year-old Josh Brahm. “People my age don’t want to go through at least eight years of college and medical school just to become an abortionist, a position considered by the pro-choice and medical community as the lowest-rung on the ladder.”
Georgia Right to Life is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-sectarian organization of diverse and caring people united to engage in actions that will restore respect and effective legal protection for all human beings from the moment of fertilization until natural death.
