The calendar is crammed with commemorative holidays that are funny, or interesting or even ludicrous. Coming up May 8, we have No Socks Day. Hairball Awareness Day is marked the last Friday of every April. On April 23, we have Talk Like Shakespeare Day.

These are lighthearted days, not to be taken too seriously. Then there are those that are more important, like the National Day of Prayer recognized in early May every year.

But a day “celebrated” every year on March 10 is an affront to humanity.

Since 1996, a small but deeply disturbed group of abortion extremists mark “Abortion Provider Appreciation Day,” a day, according to the Abortion Care Network, to “celebrate everyone who provides abortion care,” and “recognize abortion as an act of community care, love, hope, justice, and liberation.”

In reality, abortion is the opposite of those things and the people who practice it should not be celebrated.

The abortion cartel has produced many monsters, likeKermit GosnellandSteven Brigham. But it’s the casual cruelty of the abortionists in the stories told by the women ofSilent No Morethat I think of every year when this macabre “Appreciation Day” comes around

The doctor came in and didn’t say one word to me, no questions, no last thoughts. He turned on the machine and a loud noise rang in my ears, and he began the procedure. I was writhing in pain. I was cramping and felt like my insides were being ripped out of me. The nurse did not hold my hand to comfort me. I screamed so loud, I know my mother could hear me but no one came to rescue me.

When it was over, the doctor turned off the machine, told me to take ibuprofen for pain, and seek medical attention if I notice blood clotting.

No one spoke to me at the clinic. There were three nurses and a doctor. No sedation or anesthesia for pain. Two nurses held me down. Horrified over what was happening to me and my baby, I began to cry out. A nurse placed a washcloth in my mouth, telling me to bite down on it. My screams were stifled.

How shall we show our appreciation to these people who have chosen not to provide health care, but to kill for profit? The Abortion Care Network suggests throwing a party, sponsoring a happy hour or sending flowers and cards.
