A new program is teaching doctors new ways to manipulate mothers into killing their children.
TEACH or “Training in Early Abortion for Comprehensive Healthcare (TEACH),” is designed as a manual for doctors handling pregnant women. The manual rejects evidence that children in the womb can feel pain and removes references to a child’s heartbeat. It teaches doctors to describe children as “cotton balls” instead of human beings. The training even teaches them to outright lie to pregnant mothers.
All of these tactics subtly manipulate mothers to feel more comfortable killing their young.
Part of the training teaches physicians how to answer when a mother asks so see their post-abortion baby’s body. Their original answer was as follows:
“Many providers start by normalizing this desire, and showing the patient the pregnancy tissue. Many providers show it to the patient after clearing blood and decidual tissue, in a small open container. If asked what they can expect to see, consider describing what the tissue looks like at that stage, so they can make an informed choice about seeing it.”
The training teaches them to tell would be mothers that “before 9 weeks it is difficult to visualize fetal parts.” At this point, babies look very human. They have little arms, fingers, legs, ears, they even have hearts and brains by 9 weeks. Instead of telling mothers this, they say: “The pregnancy may look like a blood clot or a cotton ball.”
The program even dances around the beginnings of a heartbeat. If a mother knows that her child has a heartbeat, she might be less likely follow through. TEACH used to say “embryo with a heartbeat” once the child has an independent heartbeat. Now, it simply sais “embryo with cardiac activity.”
From Life News:
The change is propaganda, not science. Most doctors and scientists still refer to it as a “heartbeat.” A few years ago, the prestigious University of Oxford and the British Health Association published an amazing study suggesting that the human heart may begin beating as early as 16 days after conception.
Until recently, Planned Parenthood – the largest abortion chain in the U.S. – also admitted on its website that an unborn baby has a heartbeat. The website used to state that by five to six weeks of pregnancy, “a very basic beating heart and circulatory system develop.”
The changes likely were prompted by growing public support for state heartbeat laws that ban abortions once an unborn baby’s heartbeat is detectable.
Other problems with the TEACH training manual include denying the strong scientific evidence that unborn babies can feel pain by 20 weeks of pregnancy, if not earlier. It tells trainees, “Evidence regarding the capacity for fetal pain indicates that fetal perception of pain is unlikely before the third trimester.”
There’s even evidence that children feel pain as early as 8 weeks into pregnancy. When a mother asks “will this hurt my baby?” they are trained to lie directly to her face.
In case you didn’t know as well, you’re funding them. TEACH receives taxpayer funding. To see who else supports TEACH click here.

Once upon a time in God Blessed America, abortion was illegal. If a woman wanted to have one she was advised to do it before six weeks for her safety and for less pain for the child. Now, in America, anything goes and we are murdering them at birth by the millions. We deserve whatever punishment is ahead for us
