A woman who witnessed abortions for a book she was writing said:
“The third patient was aged 16, and again was fourteen weeks pregnant. This time it was a normal foetus [the other had died at a much younger stage],
When the uterus was evacuated into the small bowl under the operating table, the contents were again examined. Here the remains of a very small body, about the size of a newborn kitten, could be seen. It is tiny indeed, but its form is unmistakable.”
Mary Kenny Abortion: The Whole Story (London: Quartet Books, 1986) 156
