Jean Samuels reveals what an abortion clinic counselor told her:
“When I arrived at the clinic, the nurse told me not to worry about anything. “You’re only six weeks along, so I want you to know we’re talking about a clump of cells, not a baby.”
Knowing that it wasn’t really a baby I was carrying eased my mind, and I had no trouble agreeing to the procedure.”
