Pro-choice Activist: Protocol at Clinics Undermines Patient Care

Sometimes, even pro-choice activists admit that not all abortion clinics are good. Jennifer Baumgardner, who started the “I Had An Abortion” t-shirt campaign, in which women were encouraged to wear t-shirt celebrating their abortions, said this in her book “Abortion & Life”:

“Visiting many clinics in recent years, I’ve become concerned with how stark and unwelcoming some of them are….Certainly the cold procedure rooms, blank waiting room walls (or worse, cheesy posters), and worn furnishings probably don’t make patients feel nurtured….Further, some of the protocol at clinics has no root in medical care and undermines the comfort of patients.”

In many ways, that is an understatement.
