A very revealing comment was made at the National Abortion Federation meeting (the National Abortion Federation is an organization consisting of abortion providers. They periodically have meetings to discuss the issues surrounding performing abortions):
“[the abortion provider] need[s] to protect yourself legally by having the informed consent [form]… It doesn’t matter whether [the patient] understands it, as long as she signs it.”
Donna Stringer, National Abortion Federation, 16th annual meeting, April 12-15, 1992
Carol Everett, former abortion clinic owner and administrator, has commented on how the medical consent form they handed out at her clinics outlining the potential complications of abortion was complicated and written in medical jargon. She said that very few women could understand it. This was by design, she explained, so that the women would not become scared of the medical risks and back out and not have the abortion.
Quotes like this from the national abortion Federation lend credence to her story.
