Bill Baird and his abortion facility “exploited” me says post-abortion woman

Testimony from a woman who regretted her abortion (She had an abortion at Bill Baird’s clinic):

“They kept me in the crowded facility for almost 8 hours, although the suction abortion took only about 5 min. It seemed like the only thing to do at the time, but now as I look back, I realize how much Baird’s disinformation system and advertising contributed to my fall down this escape hatch – and how much they exploited me from start to finish… They misled and insulted me when they “counseled” me in individual and group settings.…

One “counselor” told me the abortion was just a matter of “starting my period” for me. How natural that sounded – as if the delay of a mere bodily process were all that were involved, and Baird and Company would get it back on track for me!

They also showed me a uterine model. This didn’t show the inhabitant of the womb, the unseen victim whose agony I’d learn about later through the educational efforts of pro-lifers.

Nor did they tell me that the loud and violent suction aspirator is 29 times more powerful than your home vacuum cleaner, or that the death date of my baby would be etched on my mind permanently. April would become, quite literally, the cruelest month for me.…

They kept me confused and distracted during the abortion, presumably to keep me from thinking about what I was taking part in. They had a mobile of silver birds right over me. A “counselor” held my hand and asked endless questions about college. The abortionist spoke in a monotone at the same time, giving a routine sounding distortion of what he was doing. Another woman stood next to him, watching his every move. I remember her peering between my legs with a disgusted look on her face. ”

…

Looking back at the impact of Bill Baird’s abortion profiteering on my life, it’s ironic that this herald of “compassion” and the “right to privacy” for all women should violate mine so grievously after my abortion. Baird threatened to make public my medical charts, called me a “secondary virgin” in a mocking manner, and added that my “problem” is that I “don’t get any sex.” (I later submitted an affidavit describing this incident, signed by myself and witnesses, to the local district attorney.)”
