Former abortionist to discuss leaving the business on 'Gospel of Life'
History will be made at this year’s March for Life when a former abortionist marches with the women and men of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign. Dr. Anthony Levatino will carry a sign that reads “I Regret Performing Abortions” as he takes part in a new initiative called Healing the Shockwaves of Abortion.
Dr. Levatino will be Janet Morana’s guest on Radio Maria’s “Gospel of Life” at 6 p.m. ET Tuesday, Jan. 13. Listeners are invited to call in to ask a question on the air during the show by calling 1-866-333-6279.
Those who would prefer to email a question in advance may do so at info@gospeloflife.com.
Dr. Levatino began doing abortions in 1977 during his obstetrical residency. He performed both first- trimester suction abortions and second -trimester saline abortions. Over the next five years, he performed approximately 1,200 abortions, including 100 second-trimester D&E abortions up to 24 weeks.
His personal and professional lives began to intersect when he and his wife were told they likely would not be able to conceive a child of their own, and they began looking for a baby to adopt.
“It was during that time that I had my first doubts about performing abortions,” Dr. Levatino says. “I felt like I was throwing children in the garbage at the same time we were trying so hard to find a child to love and care for as our own.”
A month after they adopted a baby girl they named Heather, Dr. Levatino’s wife conceived a child and later gave birth to a son. He repressed his doubts about abortion, until the day his daughter was hit by a car and killed just two months before her sixth birthday.
“I stopped doing second-trimester abortions soon after she died,” he recalls. “For a few months I continued to perform early first- trimester abortions but a change had occurred that I couldn’t take back. When I came to the realization that killing living children in the second trimester was wrong, it took only a little while longer to realize that killing all children is wrong no matter how big or small they are.”
Dr. Levatino became involved in the pro-life movement within the next year.
“It has helped me heal and to find forgiveness,” he says. “How do you make up for 1,200 dead kids? You can’t, not without the grace of God.”
Also on Tuesday’s “Gospel of Life,” Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, will join Janet to talk more about Healing the Shockwaves of Abortion and its official debut at the March for Life on Jan. 22in Washington, D.C.
