Abortion Clinic Worker: “It Looks like a Baby”

Clinic worker “Nell” on seeing aborted babies:

“Because it looks like a baby. That’s what it looks like to me. You’ve never seen anything else that looks like that. The only other thing you’ve ever seen is a baby…You can see a face and hands and ears and eyes and, you know…feet and toes…It bothered me really bad the first time…”
