An article in the Sacramento News Review<\/em> entitled \u201cInside the Abortion Clinic\u201d<\/a>\u00a0gives insights into the emotional struggles women endure in abortion facilities. The article features women who were ambivalent about having abortions, right up until the last moment.<\/p>\n

The abortion facility profiled in the article commits abortions up to 24 weeks. It does 2,000 to 3,000 first trimester and 500 to 800 second trimester abortions each year. Signs in the abortion facility\u2019s waiting room tell women not to discuss past abortions with one another. The abortion workers do not want women talking among themselves about abortions they previously had; maybe they don\u2019t want women remembering how painful and difficult these past abortions were.<\/p>\n

The article says, \u201cThe staff claims to have seen women scream, cry and loudly repent their decisions to abort.\u201d<\/p>\n

The author describes one woman who was having a late-term abortion as:<\/p>\n

a mild-mannered IV drug user with hepatitis and an abusive boyfriend. She\u2019d gone through counseling at the clinic early in her pregnancy and was so conflicted that she repeatedly canceled appointments and didn\u2019t show up for the procedure until she was 18 weeks along. [\u2026.] her decision to abort was difficult [\u2026]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although this woman obviously had many problems, she was unsure about aborting her baby. She does go through with the abortion, but the fact that she canceled so many times indicates that she was in no way comfortable with her decision. The abortion facility takes her money, aborts her baby, and sends her back to her abusive boyfriend and drug addiction. A crisis pregnancy center would have worked with her and tried to help her find treatment and a safe place away from the abuse.<\/p>\n

A 17-year-old named Leslie, having an abortion at 23 weeks, was also unsure. When asked by the abortion workers why she did not tell her parents about her pregnancy, the article states:<\/p>\n

‘I didn\u2019t know how they\u2019d respond,’ said Leslie, explaining why she kept her pregnancy secret. She is still not sure why she took 23 weeks to make her decision, but her youth finally convinced her to abort. ‘I can\u2019t take care of it,’ she said. ‘I\u2019m still in high school. Some [friends] told me to keep it, but \u2026’ Her voice trailed off.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Like the previous woman, Leslie went through with the abortion. Her healthy 23-week-old baby is dismembered<\/a> and Leslie is sent home to her unsuspecting parents. A late-term abortion is explained by former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino in the video below:<\/p>\n
