“Pretty soon you can imagine legislation prohibiting the washing of hands because thousands of cells are flaked off that could be turned into a stem cell and you can grow a foetus – so you’re killing a person. It’s attacks on women’s rights.”

A woman who has having an ultrasound revealed:
As the nurse practitioner prepared me for an ultrasound, she asked if I was thinking about terminating the pregnancy. I told her I was, so she turned the ultrasound screen away from me, and began moving the wand over my stomach.

It turned out that the author was 24 weeks along, too far for an abortion (in her area-some clinics DO perform them after 24 weeks) This article is evidence that some healthy women have late term abortions because they don’t know they are pregnant sooner.

From former clinic worker Jewels Green:
“ For anyone familiar with what goes on with human remains after an abortion, foot length is quite important. Measuring the foot of the deceased is the most accurate way to determine fetal age post-mortem. Tiny feet were measured beside me more times than I can count. Measuring tiny feet was how abortion facilities matched pre-abortion estimates of fetal age with the reality after death. The age determined by the measurement of the tiny feet was the age put on the forms that I completed for the state Department of Health abortion statistics.”

Dr. Warren Hern, late term abortionist:
“While I was in family practice, I got a part time job in the Women’s Center. Over the course of several months, I recognized things there could be run a lot better, with a much more professional level of service…The typical abortion patient spends less than ten minutes with the physician who performs the surgery. Yet, that patient might be in the facility for three hours. When I talked to other physicians whose patients were referred here, I saw problems that could be easily corrected.”
