Many former abortionists and clinic workers have said that their clinics turned out abortions as if the women were on an assembly line, with the doctor hardly having any contact with each patient. Here one abortionist agrees:
Dr. Eugene Fox, speaking about the abortion clinics that emerged shortly after Roe:
“They would put up these clinics and then they would bring in doctors, and the game was, how many can you do in an afternoon?… You didn’t get a chance to know the patients ahead of time… We were like cogs in the wheel.”
