In his book on Planned Parenthood, George Grant interviewed two young women who had abortions there:
“Melinda Davies, and Cheryl Cook were best friends all through high school. During the summer following graduation, both girls became pregnant. “We decided to go into Planned Parenthood together. We didn’t want our parents to find out,” said Cheryl.”
Both girls had a D&E abortion at Planned Parenthood, but Melinda had problems afterwards,
“I had bladder infections, vaginal infections, and cervical infections, and my doctor couldn’t understand why. Finally, I had to tell him what I’d done. Thank goodness he was then able to treat the cause.” And what was the cause? “Well,” Melinda said, “apparently the doctor at Planned Parenthood did the procedure with unsterile instruments. The bacteria just wreaked havoc on my body.”
“Nobody told us that something like this could happen,” said Cheryl. “I feel like we were deceived.”
“We were,” agreed Melinda. “We really were. Abortion is a lousy gamble.”
