Planned Parenthood Abortionist Learns How to Do Abortions “On-The-Job”

Sarina, who worked as an abortionist at Planned Parenthood before going to a private clinic, describes her experiences working at the Planned Parenthood:

“Sarina’s first job as an abortionist was with Planned Parenthood. She had not learned how to perform abortions in medical school, so she learned how to do first-trimester abortions on the job. The environment at the Planned Parenthood clinic was not much better than her prior experiences. “It was a rude awakening for me to go into a job where I was the only female physician…and to basically be discriminated against….I got disillusioned very quickly with the place.”

Planned Parenthood, whose mantra is safe, legal abortion, hires a doctor who does not know how to do abortions? She had to learn “on the job?” I would hate to be one of the women she learned on!

Deceived By Planned Parenthood

Michelle Slaffey’s comment:

“Planned Parenthood is a big lie! What happened to me was not counseling, it was a plan to make money off my mother and myself by lying and tricking us at a very vulnerable time.”

Abortion Clinic Gave No Support, Says Patient

Anne, a supervisor in and abortion clinic, tells about her abortions somewhere else:

“[The] people [at the clinic] really didn’t care about your emotional setting. They didn’t care what happened a week after that. You know, you read the forms, you have your abortion, you leave. And I mean, there was no personal – there was no one there to listen to me… There was no support before, during, or after the procedure. I thought I was having a possible complication about three days later; there was no one to call. The office was closed. You know, and then me trying to keep it away from certain family members, and then not being able to do that because I thought I was having a medical emergency. I mean, there was no one to tell me, “This is nothing to worry about. This is normal. This is what you need to do.” . . It’s an alone feeling. Being a woman, and having to make that decision at that particular point in my life, it was already making me feel alone. And then to get to this place where I needed support or where I could possibly talk about it – because you can’t talk about it too many places and be accepted – the place that I went to, there was nothing. You couldn’t talk about it there either.”

Women Treated Poorly in Abortion Clinic, Says Former Employee

From Abortion at Work: Ideology and Practice in a Feminist Clinic by Wendy Simonds, Rutgers University Press, New Brunswick, NJ., 1996 p 42-43:

“Before coming to work at the Center, Risa lost a job at Pavillion [another abortion clinic] She said, “I know it was because I was very vocal about how I felt about the way they treated the women…They were real quick to make people feel stupid, and real quick to talk down to them, and just really disrespectful. Just like, “I got something you need, therefore you have to kiss my butt to get it.”

Woman Describes Nightmarish Abortion Aftermath

Karen Sullivan’s story…

“I could feel the baby being torn from my insides. It was really painful…Three-quarters of the way through the operation I sat up…In the cylinder I saw the bits and pieces of my little child floating in a pool of blood. I screamed and jumped off the table. They took me into another room and I started vomiting… I just couldn’t stop throwing up…

I had nightmares and recurring dreams about my baby, I couldn’t work my job. I just laid in bed and cried. Once, I wept so hard I sprained my ribs. Another time while crying, I was unable to breath- and I passed out. I was unable to walk on the beach because the playing children would make me cry. Even Pampers commercials would set me into fits of uncontrollable crying.”

Pro-Choice Activist: Black Women Need More “Pressure to Abort”

“It’s not that obvious to some black women that abortion is the right decision. It’s only later on that poor or black women realize they don’t want more children tying them down. They need more pressure to abort.”

Abortion Clinic Owner: No One Says “Thank You”

From abortion clinic owner Charlotte Taft

“For many women nowadays, they’re angry that they had a choice. It’s too bizarre, but it’s like “If you weren’t here, I wouldn’t have to have made this choice.” And so, instead of feeling gratitude toward the physician and a sense of, you know, “You’ve helped me so much” a lot of the time that woman [is] in her own pain or anger, or whatever, and the doctor may not get a lot of that [gratitude] these days…When a woman doesn’t want an abortion, but simply accepts it as her fate, she is unlikely to feel any gratitude toward the one who provided it. As one doctor said “No one ever says “Thank You” to an abortionist.”

Philadelphia Inquirer 7/18/93 quoted in Mark Crutcher “Lime 5: Exploited by Choice ” (Denton, Texas: Life Dynamics Incorporated, 1996)p 175

Clinic Worker: It Is a Dismembered Body

From the article “Abortion Providers Share Inner Conflicts” by Diane M. Gianelli, American Medical News, July 12, 1993:

“One thing that doesn’t change over time, however, is the kinds of questions patients ask. Questions that sometimes stump the staff. Like whether the fetus feels pain during the procedure.”This is a big concern” for both staff and patients, said a clinic employee from Massachusetts. After all, she said, “it is a dismembered body”

Patients also sometimes ask to view the fetal remains. A Toronto physician said she didn’t know

“how and whether we [should] protect the patient from the reality of the procedure.” She said she regularly hid the ultrasound screen.”
