One abortionist, who incidentally has had several malpractice lawsuits against him, said the following:
”When you get caught in the middle of an abortion that is further along than anticipated, you have a tremendous motivation to find out what to do. So that’s when we would just discuss with each other what worked to get out of that situation.”

He sounds as though this is a regular occurrence – for abortionists to underestimate the length of a pregnancy and then be stuck wondering what to do. This does not seem very encouraging. It must put the woman at risk for infection and other complications for the abortionist to start with one procedure and then not know what to do about switching to another one. This is one reason why ultrasounds before abortions are so important – they verify the length of a pregnancy. So these mistakes cannot be made.
