One abortionist says:
“In order to be attentive, focused, and disciplined, there is an emotional distancing. You cannot allow your own emotional vulnerability to get in the way of your own judgment and attention when you’re in the midst of the surgical procedure.”
Eve Kushner Experiencing Abortion: a Weaving of Women’s Words (Binghamton, New York: The Haworth Press, 1997) 56
it is not surprising that an abortion provider would need to distance herself. After all, they see the torn apart arms and legs of babies (like the one below) during these procedures.
