Clinic Worker Discusses How Abortions “Provoke Emotion”

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

Other clinic workers are troubled by the nature of the abortion act itself. this abortionist felt conflicted when she was pregnant he did an abortion, and felt her baby kick at the moment she was tearing a leg off the fetus.

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