From an abortion clinic escort:

The crazy protesters (ie the women) had just arrived though, and once they saw us out back with a young woman who had obviously been crying, one of the crazies (Rosary Lady) started saying, very loudly, “You don’t have to do this,” and such forth. Well, PM very snarkily replied “We’re not.” Rosary Lady then tried to get them to go next door to the “Mother Child Welcome Centre” but PM told her, in an unimpressed tone, that they had already been. That was when their ride showed up. Before they got in the car, PM turned to me and said, in an explanatory way (as if she owed me an explanation!) that Patient was too far along in her pregnancy and that’s why they hadn’t been able to get an abortion.

It was a strange experience. First of all it was the closest I’ve ever come to crying at this job, and secondly I think it’s the maddest I’ve ever been at a protester. She should have stopped her bullshit when she heard that they weren’t going through with it. She’s not having the abortion – what more do you want? Do you have to try to brainwash her as well?

In fact, most crisis pregnancy centers offer women tangible help with their pregnancies- everything from baby items and diapers to a place to live. This was the help they were offering the woman.

If there is nothing wrong with a woman changing her mind, why was the escort close to tears at a woman not getting an abortion?

From an “Abortion doula” who helps women through their abortions:

“Basically, my job is to love people unconditionally in 5-10 minute increments, which is about how long a first-trimester procedure takes. Depending on the clinic that we’re in, we will go into the room with the patient, we’ll help them get settled, get comfortable. Depending how long it takes the doctor to come into the room, we might be making small talk with them. Sometimes, people don’t want to talk at all, which is totally fine. People usually don’t want to talk about their emotions, if they have any, around the procedure, which is also obviously fine. Then, the doctor comes in, the procedure happens, [and] we’re right next to the patient during the procedure, again offering physical support if the client wants that, or verbal support… Then, they go into the recovery room, and that’s pretty much the end of our relationship with that person. …

For a lot of people, the procedure is not a big deal. But…some people are going in with some really conflicted and painful emotions. Sometimes, they wanted a pregnancy, but they just don’t have the resources to continue… A few times, especially with people who are very religious or just really conflicted with the decision, I think it’s been really helpful for them to have someone say “You’re not a bad person, you’re making the right decision, and I care about you.” One of the great things I learned from one of our founders [is that] when people ask her, “Do you think God will forgive me?” she responds, “Well, do you believe in a forgiving God?”

I think care is a basic right, and being loved is a real, universal human need.“

Unfortunately preborn babies, like the ones below,are not considered people to be loved.

One can also wonder if this ‘cheerleader for abortion” will be there for the woman days, weeks, months, or years later when they are suicidal because of their abortion.
