Nurses Troubled by “Destruction of Life”

Director of nurses at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, where they did abortions:

17 weeks

“Most nurses find the destruction of life the very antithesis of what they believe… Nurses in delivery rooms had been accustomed to every conceivable effort to save babies, even those of 1 to 3 pounds, and they found that sometimes they were “salting out” bigger babies than those they had worked to save.”

The hospital hired a psychiatrist to bring them around, to help them see that, “physicians help people in what they need, and a nurse should feel that way.”

“Salting out” is another name for the seeming abortion method, were concentrated salt solution is injected into the gestational sac, mixing with the amniotic fluid and slowly poisoning the baby and burning it skin over the course of several hours. The mother then goes into labor and delivers a dead baby. The technique caused so many live births and was so dangerous to women that it was abandoned in the 1990s. Now a D&E is the most common procedure for late abortions.
