From a woman who had an abortion because her baby would have been disabled:
“These girls, they just don’t want their babies. And it’s a good thing; what kind of mothers would they be, anyway? They’re here for a 2nd, maybe a 3rd, abortion. They can’t be worried to do the right thing. Later, maybe later they’ll understand. But it’s just craziness for us, being put into a cattle car with them. It’s a real mill, and what makes it worse is, the rest of them just don’t want their babies.”
Rayna Rapp Testing Women, Testing the Fetus: the Social Impact of Amniocentesis in America (New York: Routledge, 1999) 237
She feels that aborting a baby for fetal handicap is different from aborting for convenience. She also feels disdain for women who abort more than once. Surprisingly, this disdain is often shared by abortion providers.
