Magda Denes spent time in an abortion clinic interviewing patients and witnessing abortion procedures. She talks about the dishonesty that she saw among the women having abortions and the people performing them. She says that they lied about not knowing the baby was human. She claimed that all of them, deep down, knew that babies were being killed:
“Oh yes, these people lie, they kid themselves, testify falsely, confess in bad faith, shirk responsibility, only pretend to honor, bracket the past, and invent their lives. And who among us does differently? Especially in times of crisis. Especially in times of irreversible choice.… Reality is a matter of courtesy. A matter of agreement not to rock the tempest torn boat.”
Magda Denes In Necessity and Sorrow (New York: Basic Books, 1976) 122, 6
