Author James D Slack describing “Michelle”, who owns two abortion clinics:
“By every definition, however, Michelle is the quintessential capitalist. She currently charges $500 for a medical (drug) abortion up to the seventh week; $425 for first trimester surgical abortion with a light anesthetic and $475 for one with a heavy anesthetic; and for a second trimester abortion, about an additional hundred dollars per week and maxing out at $1100. After hours (privacy) abortion start around $625, maxing out around $1300. All fees are paid in advance. With an estimated 3000 clients annually from just one of her clinics, some with second trimester abortions, it is likely that she grosses more than 1.5 million. Assuming this is the same at the “Western” clinic she probably grosses around $3 million yearly.”
