One abortion clinic worker said the following in an interview:
“After the mother had aborted my job was to take the fetus and weigh [it], put it in a bag, like a lunch bag…After everything was weighed and bagged and a disposal card was signed for the fetus I took everything downstairs to the morgue. I took it down in a grocery cart, which was pretty gory, and I just put it in another laundry bag and from there it was thrown in the incinerator.
….I see more of murder the further along they get. Although inside me I know it’s murder from the beginning…”
Yet when asked about what she says to the women she counsels before abortions:
“We have personal biases about a lot of things in our life and these are just things you don’t let conflict with another person’s interest….I’m not there to change her mind.
[Question: Does one ever suggest that a child is killed by abortion?]
I’ve never asked them that question, but from my standpoint from just talking to the girls it’s just something that’s there that’s got to be gotten rid of because it’s in the way, and it is an “it.” It’s not a human being… No, you never throw that out to them. You just use “abortion” and a lot of times I don’t even use the word “abortion.” I use the word “terminate.” When I tell people I do counseling I don’t say “I do abortion counseling or problem pregnancy counseling.” No, it’s just “counseling,” just to lessen the impact of “abortion.”…You don’t say to a girl who’s going through an abortion that it’s murder. Just like delivering the fetuses in the hospital back at —-, I used to get a mother who would say, “What sex is it?”… But I say, “Lay back, you really can’t tell.” These are things you do to relieve the anxiety within the mother.”
