Clinic worker describes women’s decisions

From a clinic worker:

“To some of these women, it is and can be a hard decision, and to others, it is not a hard decision because they’re certainly sure about the decision, just feeling that it is something that just has to be done, or they just can’t deal with the fact that they’re pregnant. As you know, there are women that get very emotional, and because of their choice, many don’t. You have some that will change their mind right before the procedure, and they do have the right to change their mind cause this is their decision. These types of patients are here because of their emotions. On the other hand, you have those who have their minds already made up what they want to do. They won’t even think twice about it and will go ahead and go through with having the procedure because they feel that this is something that they have to do; it’s their only way out of the situation that they’ve gotten themselves into.”

Abortion clinic admin: I was young and inexperienced

From Merle Hoffman, former owner/administrator of an abortion clinic (she is still pro-abortion):

“I knew I wouldn’t be able to run the clinic efficiently unless my staff took me seriously, and since I had no physical area I could use to enforce professional boundaries, I had to firmly demonstrate that even though I was young and inexperienced, I was in charge. But some of them made it clear that they resented my position in the medical hierarchy, their lack of respect palpable with every interaction. They weren’t going to accept my authority so easily.”

Clinic owner: abortion is a sacrament

From an interview with then abortion clinic owner Patricia Baird-Windle:

Q: You owned and operated a clinic that performed abortions for more than 20 years. Yet in the early ’80s you said, “I’m not pro-abortion. I know no one who is pro- abortion.” That seems to be a contradictory statement.

Preborn baby at 14 weeks. Is it "love" to kill him by dismemberment?
Preborn baby at 14 weeks. Is it “love” to kill him by dismemberment?

BAIRD-WlNDLE: I no longer feel that way. I am now pro-abortion. I’ve come a long, long way….

I now consider abortion to be a major blessing, and to be a sacrament in the hands of women….

At the very crucible of the sacrament of abortion work is the sentence in a letter written to me by a woman when I retired, and that is some women have an abortion out of love for the baby.

Abortion clinic worker enraged by pro-life signs

Seeing a prolife sign left an abortion clinic worker enraged:

“As counselors we are cynical and joke about the protesters amongst ourselves, but we do not want the patient upset, so it ends there. At home is a different story. If I see something, a protester, or a Choose Life license plate, it takes everything in my power to not run the person off the road. It makes me so angry and aggressive. It’s become my cause so I take it extremely personal. I get mad when I see people being so callous and judgmental. I was driving home from a road trip vacation a few weeks ago when I passed a very religious part of the state. There were antiabortion signs along the Turnpike for at least an hour, one after another. I became enraged!”

Abortion clinic: “We do sacred work”

“The staff in this office does sacred work and though you may hope to never come back, we return each day to hear your stories, hold your hands, and ease your fears. Our lives are consumed with caring for yours. In these walls and in our hearts you are forever valued, treasured, respected and safe.”

Head of abortion chain supports third trimester abortion

Ann Furedi is the director of the largest chain of abortion clinics in England. Here, she defends late-term abortion:

“We believe that the delivery of an abortion procedure in the second (and even third) trimester is preferable to its denial, since the denial of abortion has consequences for a woman’s life, for the lives that are touched by hers, and for the life of the child that will be born.”

Abortionist: We’ll ensure women can abort in the third trimester

Dr. Leroy Carhart, late term abortionist:

“we are going to do everything in our power to ensure that women still have an option for late-second- and the early-third-trimester abortions that are medically indicated.”

Sarah Kliff “The Abortion Evangelist” Newsweek August 31, 2009

All too often, “medically indicated” means abortions for almost any reason. Emotional health usually counts as as reason for abortions. If a woman says her pregnancy makes her anxious or depressed, that could be considered a “medically indicated” reason for abortion. At other times, there is a health problem with the baby. For example, when the baby has Down syndrome he or she will be aborted 90% of the time, often in the second or third trimester.

Baby more developed in second trimester abortions

Carole Meyers, abortionist, medical director of Planned Parenthood of Maryland:

“There are fewer providers that do second-trimester abortions than five years ago. The second-trimester procedure is more controversial because the fetus is more developed.”

Clinic worker: Abortion is “motherhood” and a “sacred right”

Abortion is utmost motherhood—a woman transpiring her valued comfort zone to preserve the destiny of her offspring. Abortion is life and death. A code of honor. A sacred rite.

Clinic worker talks about abortion procedures

From abortion clinic worker K:

Q. Have you ever done an abortion that has made you question the ethics of the procedure?

K: I’m not a physician, so no. However the first few times witnessing procedures certainly involved some reflection on the ethics of the procedure. Even in reflection though my beliefs about the legality of abortion never wavered.

She describes the procedure:

 While it is true that fetuses are not removed whole (in part because procedures where fetuses can be removed whole have been illegal in the US since 2003),

they are not alive during this process. Abortions done with only suction also often result in non-intact fetuses because fetuses, well, lack structural integrity.

12c

partbrt4When she says abortions where the baby is removed whole are illegal, she is referring to the ban on partial-birth abortion, where the baby is deliberately taken out intact. Babies however sometimes born whole during abortion procedures like the D&E, when the mother expels the fetus before the doctor pulls the baby apart.

In fact, babies ARE alive when most abortions begin. The babies above, at ten weeks, was fully alive when torn apart. Abby Johnson describes watching a 13 week old baby struggle for life while being aborted on an ultrasound screen. Only in the late second trimester is poison used to kill the baby, sometimes- it depends on the abortionist and his/her choice.
