Clinic worker; post abortion woman crying, feeling guilty

From a clinic worker:

“I’ve taken up to one hour and a half if the patient needs it – the people at the front desk don’t love it if I do that too often, but if I have to, I do. I just had a patient today that took a really long time. It was a post abortion – she was crying, feeling really guilty. The doctor really scared her; I had to act as her advocate.”

Carole Joffe The Regulation of Sexuality: Experiences of Family-Planning Workers (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1986) 86

In actuality, most clinics either offer no counseling or counseling that consists only of a short session of telling a group of women about the abortion process (not in too much detail of course) and offering to answer questions. Even in cases where clinic workers want to give more counseling, there is pressure on them to make it short.

Some clinics do offer post-abortion counseling. This woman was obviously very troubled by her abortion, feeling guilty and upset. I wonder what the counselor told her? probably, like most pro-abortion counselors, she was told that aborting her baby was perfectly fine and she should not feel guilty.

Perhaps she should have gotten more in depth counseling BEFORE her abortion, not after the fact.

The “doctors” who perform abortions have nothing but contempt or the women they are “treating”.

It will go on for a long time afterwards, with dreams of having committed murder and waking up in confusion. Your subconscious knows what you’ve done.

The women and I wonder about the babies as well. I mean really who wants to kill a baby?

“..who wants to kill a baby?” Unfortunately history has shown there are all sorts of people who will knowingly kill a baby. Concentration camp executioners, the Mongol soldiers who killed every living thing in their circles of death, Viet Cong soldiers, abortionists and many other examples. Humans are quite capable of accommodating their conscience to perform almost any vile act. Those acts become systemic and acceptable in declining decadent cultures.

The person who coined the double speak phrase, “The Right to Choose,” is devious and evil. It’s indelicate to finish the sentence, so they don’t and then they left that unfinished phrase just hanging there, and had it repeated so many times that the lack of the direct object began to sound normal and fine.

Finish the darn sentence! “The Right to Choose to Hire Someone to Kill Her Baby.” is the sentence. There is no other ending that would not be euphemism.
