From one woman who had an abortion:
“Well, we all sat there and about half the people in the room – I can’t remember how many girls there were, maybe 6 or 7 – were on their 2nd or 3rd time and it didn’t seem to phase them at all…
This one girl – they were asking questions – the only question she had was she said she’d had a couple before and she said it smelled bad afterwards: Was there any way she could get rid of that because her boyfriend didn’t like the smell?”
