Abortionist: we hire people based on political commitment

Susan Poppema, abortionist:

“We choose people to work [at the clinic] based on their political commitment as well as their medical capabilities. We can teach people what they need to know medically, but we cannot teach them political commitment; we can encourage it, but we can’t teach that as well.”

Patricia Launneborg Abortion: a Positive Decision (New York: Bergin & Garvey, 1992) 189

it does not inspire confidence to know that clinic workers had to be taught how to perform medical tasks.
