A clinic worker speaks:
“I have also been in the theatre when the abortions are performed. An early abortion, i.e. less than 11 weeks, can be completed in five minutes if the patient is under a general anaesthetic. Later abortions take up to half an hour, and I won’t pretend, it’s pretty difficult to watch. I must admit, I almost passed out watching one of the later abortions, but I’m glad I saw it. I’d feel like a hypocrite if I carried on working and didn’t know what went on in the operating theatre. I’m in a difficult position because I do have sympathy for the foetuses that are aborted at such late stages, but, when you talk to the women in that position, you soon realise that they’re not terminating their pregnancies for frivolous reasons.”
