From abortion clinic worker K:
Q. Have you ever done an abortion that has made you question the ethics of the procedure?
K: I’m not a physician, so no. However the first few times witnessing procedures certainly involved some reflection on the ethics of the procedure. Even in reflection though my beliefs about the legality of abortion never wavered.
She describes the procedure:
While it is true that fetuses are not removed whole (in part because procedures where fetuses can be removed whole have been illegal in the US since 2003),
they are not alive during this process. Abortions done with only suction also often result in non-intact fetuses because fetuses, well, lack structural integrity.
When she says abortions where the baby is removed whole are illegal, she is referring to the ban on partial-birth abortion, where the baby is deliberately taken out intact. Babies however sometimes born whole during abortion procedures like the D&E, when the mother expels the fetus before the doctor pulls the baby apart.
In fact, babies ARE alive when most abortions begin. The babies above, at ten weeks, was fully alive when torn apart. Abby Johnson describes watching a 13 week old baby struggle for life while being aborted on an ultrasound screen. Only in the late second trimester is poison used to kill the baby, sometimes- it depends on the abortionist and his/her choice.
