The Director of nursing at one abortion clinic said the following:
“I feel that up to 20 weeks you really push an abortion. Personally. And if they had modified that law I would be all for it. Because after that stage they’re getting pretty big. I mean, have you seen the 20 week ones? And I must say, it turns my stomach, and I agree with the staff in one way that they feel little repulsed when you get a big fetus. It’s very traumatic for the staff to pick this up and put it in a container and say, “Okay, that’s going to the incinerator.”
