Clinic worker Sallie Tisdale discusses of dealing with work at an abortion clinic in this article from Harper’s Magazine:
“Privately, even grudgingly, my colleagues might admit the power of abortion to provoke emotion… Its uncertainty lies in specific cases: retarded women and girls too young to give consent for surgery, women who are ill or hostile or psychotic. Such common dilemmas are met with both compassion and impatience: they slow things down.”
Sallie Tisdale “We Do Abortions Here” Harpers, October 1987

This abortionist feels troubled when he sees the picture of the baby he is about to abort on the ultrasound screen.
