Former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the last living founder of NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League) has endorsed South Dakota pro-life measure Initiated Measure 11.
As the LifeNews article points out, Nathanson was one of the biggest abortionists in the United States (he performed about 75,000 abortions) until viewing ultrasounds on unborn children led him to change his mind.
Nathanson explains that he and his colleagues who founded NARAL created it to “export our pro-abortion mentality across the land.”
“One of our strategies was to deny what we knew to be true, that an abortion destroys the life of an existing human being," he says in the commercial. “This was the greatest mistake of my life… and the greatest mistake in our nation’s history."
Nathanson also admits abortion activists made up figures about how many women were supposedly dying from illegal abortions prior to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
"We spoke of 5,000 - 10,000 deaths a year," he said. "I confess that I knew the figures were totally false [but] it was a useful figure, widely accepted, so why go out of our way to correct it with honest statistics?"
As I said earlier, when the "freight train" of the truth catches up to you, you have a choice: you can ignore the truth and keep embracing the lie, or you can admit you were wrong and allow your heart and mind to change.
Nathanson apparently made the right decision when he encountered that train. I don't know the status of his relationship with Jesus Christ, but whatever it is, I hope his embrace of this truth goes in his favor when Nathanson passes into eternity.

It sounds like this guy has become a full-on, Kool-Aid drinking member of the extremist pro-life movement. As we've seen in the past, those people have no problem with lying to get what they want so I'm not sure I'd blindly trust what this guy is saying.
It couldn't have anything to do with finally realizing the truth, could it? Of course not; he just woke up one day and decided he wanted to be pro-life. While he was at it, he thought it would be a good idea to tell the world that he had lied--that's always a pleasant and fun thing to do.
Anonymous, you're a great example of how an ostrich buries it's head in the sand at the sight of an unpleasant truth.
