Hurt By Abortion, Woman Now Ministering To Those In Similar Situations

“I was 19 years old and had lost my virginity the year before. I always believed abortion was wrong and that it was murder. I told my mother when I was 9 weeks and the whole family joined in on persuading me. My mother told me that if I didn’t have [the abortion] she would kick me out of the house.

It was a nightmare. They strapped my legs down. I got very upset and kept saying I’m killing my baby and the doctor kept trying to calm me. They didn’t want the others to hear me. I lifted my head up and saw the jar and what was left of my 12 week old baby.

I gave my life to the Lord and with His forgiveness I can begin to forgive myself. That is the hardest part — doing something and knowing how wrong it was. It was a heavy burden to carry. I have forgiven myself but at times I still cry tears over my baby.

It made me able to see that the situation a girl is in isn’t just black and white. I now volunteer counsel, trying to use my experience for good.”

Abortion Worker: The Clinic Administrators Exploit Us

A worker at an abortion clinic was quoted saying:

“They [the administrators] have this pin that says “The Woman’s Care Center: Working for the Lives of Women” or something. They do, but not for the lives of the women that work there. They exploit women who work there, and they abuse them…It’s just like working for someone who’s sexist. You have to be “in” to be treated fairly…which I think is not right.”

Woman Not Informed Of Post Abortion Complications

How would you describe your abortion(s)?

“Very painful. I was very misinformed about the after effects, the emotional and physical complications. I was deceived by all I had read or heard in my medical referrals to have an abortion. It was a rough procedure. I bled a lot there and after I got home. I was hurried out the door shortly afterward. I knew as soon as my uterus was violated that I had participated in a murder. My spirit fragmented and the evil that was in that clinic came in all around me. I lost my mind.”

How did your abortion(s) affect you and others?

“I had a severe emotional collapse. I was thinking of killing myself. I cried every day for a year or more. I did not get along with anyone too well. I was not a very good mother. I had marriage problems that led to a divorce. I felt like I hated the world. I suffered nightmares, bad thoughts while awake. Every time the vacuum was used I thought about how my baby died. I wanted another baby. I did get pregnant approximately one year after the abortion and had a replacement baby. I grieved for years.”

Planned Parenthood Abortionist Learns How to Do Abortions “On-The-Job”

Sarina, who worked as an abortionist at Planned Parenthood before going to a private clinic, describes her experiences working at the Planned Parenthood:

“Sarina’s first job as an abortionist was with Planned Parenthood. She had not learned how to perform abortions in medical school, so she learned how to do first-trimester abortions on the job. The environment at the Planned Parenthood clinic was not much better than her prior experiences. “It was a rude awakening for me to go into a job where I was the only female physician…and to basically be discriminated against….I got disillusioned very quickly with the place.”

Planned Parenthood, whose mantra is safe, legal abortion, hires a doctor who does not know how to do abortions? She had to learn “on the job?” I would hate to be one of the women she learned on!

Deceived By Planned Parenthood

Michelle Slaffey’s comment:

“Planned Parenthood is a big lie! What happened to me was not counseling, it was a plan to make money off my mother and myself by lying and tricking us at a very vulnerable time.”

Abortion Clinic Gave No Support, Says Patient

Anne, a supervisor in and abortion clinic, tells about her abortions somewhere else:

“[The] people [at the clinic] really didn’t care about your emotional setting. They didn’t care what happened a week after that. You know, you read the forms, you have your abortion, you leave. And I mean, there was no personal – there was no one there to listen to me… There was no support before, during, or after the procedure. I thought I was having a possible complication about three days later; there was no one to call. The office was closed. You know, and then me trying to keep it away from certain family members, and then not being able to do that because I thought I was having a medical emergency. I mean, there was no one to tell me, “This is nothing to worry about. This is normal. This is what you need to do.” . . It’s an alone feeling. Being a woman, and having to make that decision at that particular point in my life, it was already making me feel alone. And then to get to this place where I needed support or where I could possibly talk about it – because you can’t talk about it too many places and be accepted – the place that I went to, there was nothing. You couldn’t talk about it there either.”

Women Treated Poorly in Abortion Clinic, Says Former Employee

From Abortion at Work: Ideology and Practice in a Feminist Clinic by Wendy Simonds, Rutgers University Press, New Brunswick, NJ., 1996 p 42-43:

“Before coming to work at the Center, Risa lost a job at Pavillion [another abortion clinic] She said, “I know it was because I was very vocal about how I felt about the way they treated the women…They were real quick to make people feel stupid, and real quick to talk down to them, and just really disrespectful. Just like, “I got something you need, therefore you have to kiss my butt to get it.”

Woman Describes Nightmarish Abortion Aftermath

Karen Sullivan’s story…

“I could feel the baby being torn from my insides. It was really painful…Three-quarters of the way through the operation I sat up…In the cylinder I saw the bits and pieces of my little child floating in a pool of blood. I screamed and jumped off the table. They took me into another room and I started vomiting… I just couldn’t stop throwing up…

I had nightmares and recurring dreams about my baby, I couldn’t work my job. I just laid in bed and cried. Once, I wept so hard I sprained my ribs. Another time while crying, I was unable to breath- and I passed out. I was unable to walk on the beach because the playing children would make me cry. Even Pampers commercials would set me into fits of uncontrollable crying.”
