Former clinic worker: “Ellen”

And Then There Were None, a ministry that helps former clinic workers, told the following story in one of their emails:

“Ellen” recalled her time working at Planned Parenthood.  Like many others, she felt uncomfortable with her job there, but it paid the bills and offered the benefits she needed.  She was hired on as a patient educator and was reprimanded for quietly giving patients information on adoption services and resource centers in the counseling rooms, because she was not pushing the sale of abortion onto women who weren’t sure what they were going to do. “It took a huge physical toll,” Ellen said. “I would always come home from work and cry.”

The majority of abortions are done at this time or later

Use of term “baby” makes Abortion providers uncomfortable

Pro-choice author Carole Joffe on how abortion providers and patients describe the unborn baby:

“Counselors and clinicians tend to use the terms “pregnancy” and “fetus”; in contrast, many patients use the term baby, which makes some providers uncomfortable. Similarly, how should providers respond to the occasional patient who asks to see her ultrasound before her abortion, or, afterward, the product of conception (another term used far more by providers than by patients?)

Carole Joffe Dispatches from the Abortion Wars: the Costs of Fanaticism to Doctors, Patients, and the Rest of Us (Boston, Massachusetts: Beacon Press, 2009) 127-128

This brief quote reveals that many women having abortions even the child they are about to destroy is a baby, and also that clinic workers use terms that are deceptive. It is also clear that it is not normal practice in abortion clinics to show the woman the ultrasound, and that clinic workers questioned whether she should be allowed to see it. In the section on “abortion counseling” you will read many quotes from abortion providers admitting that they never show the woman the ultrasound before her abortion and that if she asked, they often refused.

Abortion clinic workers given instructions at odds with clinic advertising

One Chicago abortion clinic said the following on a brochure aimed at women considering abortions at the clinic:

“From admission to recovery, patient ease and comfort are first considerations. She is encouraged to ask questions, share feelings or misgivings.”

These were the actual instructions given to the clinic workers:

“1. Don’t tell [the] patient. The abortion will hurt.

2. Don’t discuss [the abortion] procedure or the instruments to be used in any detail.

3. Don’t answer too many questions.

This article was from a long time ago but things in the abortion clinics haven’t changed much. Read about what one former Planned Parenthood clinic worker says about how the clinic counseled their patients.

Prochoicer denies the existence of life in the womb

From a pro-choice article:

“According to biomedical term,during the first few months,there’s only a embryo in the womb of the mother…. At this stage,it is not a life.”

“Abortion is not murder” To Abort or Not December 21, 2005

In reality, science teaches that life begins at conception. Read the many testimonies from scientists and the many excerpts from medical textbooks that prove this here.

In addition, a baby has a heartbeat in the womb at just 21 days. She has brain waves of 40 days, and arms and legs (complete with fingers and toes) at 8 weeks. Here is a picture of an 8 week old unborn baby

Clinic Counselor on how to think of abortion

When a woman in an abortion clinic voiced her concern that abortion might be killing, her counselor said

“Don’t think of it is killing. Think of it is taking blood out of your uterus to get your periods going again.”

Qualifications for clinic counselors – must have had an abortion

Former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson describes how Harvey, an abortion provider, hired counselors for the abortion clinic he was setting up in New York City in the 1970s:

“When Harvey moved into the massive New York market he was naturally too busy to do the counseling himself and hired counselors who met only two criteria: they had to be 21 or older, and they had to have had an abortion themselves. Nothing else. Education, degrees, experience were inconsequential to him.”

Pamphlet given out at abortion clinics is “propaganda” says reporter

Cyny Recker for the Canadian Abortion Rights Action League.  She responded to the claims of several women that they were misled in abortion clinics she said that the clinics do give information. The author described the pamphlet she handed him, which was called

“Pre-natal development” and was produced by Childbirth by Choice, a national abortion rights organization.

“The pamphlet showed only the very early stages of fetal development. The drawings actually seemed to be of human embryos, not fetuses. [under 8 weeks] What’s more, the pamphlet also contains drawings of guinea pigs and monkey embryos placed strategically alongside the human ones. Sure enough, they all look alike at the early stages. Insofar as it dehumanizes the fetus, the document is top notch propaganda and assuredly brings great relief to women harboring doubts about their abortion.”

Planned Parenthood Lies About 6-8 Week Old Fetus

Live-action presented video where Planned Parenthood counselor discusses abortion with a woman who was 6-8 weeks pregnant:

6-7 weeks

patient: what comes out?

PP: well, you’d miscarry at home so the entire – whatever fetal matter is there.

Patient: so you see the baby?

PP: There’s not a baby at this point. You wouldn’t be able to identify any part of the fetus whatsoever.

Patient: What’s a fetus?

PP:  The fetus is the developing embryo inside of you. But at this point there’s nothing developed at all. There’s no legs, no arms, no head, no brain, no heart. At this point is just the embryo itself.”
