In one book that talked about the daily workings of an abortion clinic, the author describes how clinic workers didn’t want women to bring their children to the facility:
“Objections were also raised about clients who brought their young children with them into the recovery room: clinic workers were concerned not only about the ability of the recovery room staff to monitor the children but also about the distress their presence might cause…”
