You\u2019re going to see the heart beating \u2013 little hearts, you know \u2013\u00a0and then, all of a sudden, you\u2019re going to put this cardiac medicine in it to make it stop \u2013\u00a0to kill it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When pro-lifers show pictures of aborted babies or talk about how preborn children are torn apart in abortions, many people don\u2019t want to believe them. They claim that the pictures are fake, and that the stories of mutilated babies are false or exaggerated. But when abortion facility workers themselves describe abortion\u2019s brutal aftermath, it is harder for people to dismiss.<\/p>\n

Pro-choice feminist Wendy Simonds wrote an unabashedly pro-abortion book titled, “Abortion at Work: Ideology and Practice in a Feminist Clinic<\/a>.” In the book, facility\u00a0worker \u201cCarrie\u201d freely uses the term \u201cbaby\u201d to describe the children she helps abort:<\/p>\n

At nine weeks\u2026 you start seeing fetal parts. [Ellipses in original] And by the second trimester, it\u2019s, you know, it\u2019s a baby, and by the eighteenth week it\u2019s definitely a baby. And by, like, you know, twenty-two weeks you go in and you watch someone do a sonogram, and you\u2019re like, \u201cOh my.\u201d There it is just moving, moving around. And it\u2019s really, really hard because I always thought of abortion in terms of just the woman, just her body\u2026 And I never even allowed myself to think, you know, isn\u2019t it a shame that there\u2019s something alive inside her that\u2019s not going to be alive anymore if she has an abortion.

One abortion worker describes seeing preborn babies on ultrasound:<\/p>\n

[N]ow you can see that it\u2019s a fetus and it looks like a baby, and it sucks his thumb, and it, you know kicks around, just like newborns do. (page 79)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another worker describes witnessing an abortionist inject the drug digoxin into the hearts of preborn babies to kill them:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be weird now because you\u2019re going to see the sono. You\u2019re going to see the heart beating \u2013 little hearts, you know – and then, all of a sudden, you\u2019re going to put this cardiac medicine in it to make it stop \u2013\u00a0to kill it. I won\u2019t kill it, the doctor will kill it\u2026. It\u2019s just a harder reality check of what we\u2019re doing\u2026. It\u2019s like rationally I know this is going to be much better because, God, you know, if it can make a twenty-three-week skull come out easier, you know bless this digoxin. (73)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although she reiterates that it\u2019s the doctor and not she\u00a0who is killing the baby, her words show a certain amount of ambivalence about witnessing the killings first hand. However, she \u201cthanks God\u201d for the poison that makes babies easier to abort, showing that her ambivalence goes only so far. She is dedicated to killing these children.<\/p>\n

Clinic worker \u201cNell\u201d describes why it is hard for her to see what\u2019s left over after abortions:<\/p>\n

Because it looks like a baby. That\u2019s what it looks like to me. You\u2019ve never seen anything else that looks like that. The only other thing you\u2019ve ever seen is a baby\u2026. You can see a face and hands and ears and eyes and, you know\u2026 feet and toes\u2026. It bothered me really bad the first time\u2026. (88)<\/p>\n
