Abortion worker “enjoys” her job, calls it “sweet brutality”

Abortion clinic worker Sallie Tisdale says of her work at the abortion facility:

In describing this work, I find it difficult to explain how much I enjoy it most of the time. We laugh a lot here…Certain clients waken in me every tender urge I have—others make we wince and bite my tongue. Both challenge me to find a balance. It is a sweet brutality we practice here, a stark and loving dispassion.”
