Testimony of an Abortion Dr.
Dr. John Bruchalski considered abortion to be health care. But that changed when, one night, he was caught between trying to save the life of one unborn baby — and ending the life of another. One evening, he found himself “split between life and death.” “In labor and delivery that night, in one room, the mom wanted the baby, but in the next room, because the mom didn’t want it, ” That baby, he said, survived the attempted abortion. “I delivered the baby; it looked a little big. I either could have suffocated it because it was born alive or I [could throw] it on the scale.” The baby weighed more than one pound so he called in the neonatal intensive care doctor. “The baby was farther along, and in walked the neonatal doctor and said, ‘Why are you treating my patients as tumors? Come to me tomorrow, have some coffee, because you’re better than this,’” Bruchalski remembered. “It was the facts of OB/GYN wanting to have abortion as part of good health care, but then someone stopped me in my tracks and confronted me,” he said. “That’s that moment that I had to respond to.” Today, he says, he bears the “scar of abortion.” “It’s not a wound anymore because of Jesus’ mercy,” he stressed. “Jesus’ mercy is the most wonderful medicine.” He stressed that there is hope for those who have been involved in abortion. “If you’re miserable out there and you’ve had scars with your own abortions or referring for abortions, are you in the doctor community, in the health care community, God’s mercy is here and he just loves you more than you know,” Bruchalski said. He told his hospital he could no longer perform abortions. “Just keep it quiet,” his supervisor told him, rolling his eyes, “I hope it wasn’t some religious conversion.” But Dr. Bruchalski didn’t keep quiet. More and more of his fellow residents followed his lead and ceased performing abortions. Today, he dedicates his life to providing life-affirming health care as the founder of Tepeyac OB-GYN and Divine Mercy Care. He is now caring for their second generation of mothers–one of the first babies delivered by the fledgling pro-life practice recently became a mother herself. Of course, she turned to Tepeyac OB/GYN, now a well-established office that has faithfully served women and babies for more than 25 years!
