In an article in Newsweek, author Martha Brant discusses how some clinic directors have decided to dispense with the propaganda and tell women the truth – that abortion kills babies. She mentions that these clinic workers are going to a summit on abortion rights and says:
“Independent abortion clinic directors like Peg Johnston in New York state—who will attend the meeting in D.C.—even use words like “baby” and “killing” because that is what many women who come to her say and feel.
“I’m trying to figure out how I can get [them] through this experience so that [they] can cope,” says Johnston, whose clinic was the target of Operation Rescue protestors and their bloody fetus posters starting in the late 1980s.
Today, Johnston shows her patients their own fetal tissue if they want to see it. “Mostly it’s reassuring. You could say we have our own gory pictures,” she says. Johnston has often been at odds with the pro-choice leadership.”

It is very rare for clinic workers to tell the truth about the unborn baby and about what abortion does to children – see this section where clinic workers described the “counseling” at their clinics
It is not surprising that these clinic workers are “at odds with pro-choice leadership.”
