- Dr. Van Oppen(who performs abortions on women in South Dakota) states that in HIS PERSONAL VIEW one isn't a "human being" until the child is "weaned" from his or her mother, often at about the post-natal age of TWO YEARS, but only if the child's parents consider him or her a human being and welcom the child into the family of human beings.
- Dr. Scott Moses (one of Planned Parenthood's "experts") claims there is no human being following live birth until he clamps the umbilical cord. Dr. Moses states that after he delivers a child, he or she is not a human being while the baby is entirely out of the mother's body and he is holding the baby and even during the time the mother is holding her baby. He claims that "status" as human being "transfers" when he clamps the cord, but before he cuts the cord.
- Dr. Lee Silver (another one of Planned Parenthood's "experts") originally expressed the view that there is no human being until the unborn child obtains sentinence(sometime around 30 weeks gestation).
- Dr. Lee Silver admits that this original OPINION of his, "was wrong"!!!
- Planned Parenthood's "expert" Dr. Lee Silver, although offered as an "expert" to explain the meaning of the term "human being", admitted that he's "not sure how to define any word."
Dr. Carol Ball-(Medical Director of Planned Parenthood)
- Dr. Ball incorrectly assumed that it was conclusively established twenty years ago that abortion does not place a woman at risk for physchological harm, and for that reason has NOT read the literature and scores of peer reviewed journals that have produced evidence of such harm over the past 10 to 15 years.
- Dr. Ball believes there was literature published twenty years ago that conclusively established that there is no such thing as Post Abortion Stress Disorder, and she has NOT read the literature since.
- Dr. Ball has not read any of the expert reports and declerations in this case, and does not know their contents.
