Former abortion facility owner\u00a0and director Norma Goldberger wrote about watching an abortion<\/a> for the first time in her memoir, saying, “I watched my first abortion that visit, and I\u2019m embarrassed to admit I almost passed out. It was the first and last time I was ever queasy in an abortion. I wondered if it was from having eaten a good lunch and\/or having milk laden breasts. Over my working career I have held women\u2019s hands during thousands of abortions and never again felt faint.”<\/p>\n

Goldberger does not say when in pregnancy the abortion she watched took place. But former abortionist Anthony Levatino illustrates abortion procedures in the first<\/a>, second<\/a>,\u00a0and third<\/a> trimesters. Watching the videos, it is easy to see why Goldberger could be so effected; they are violent, jarring procedures.<\/p>\n

In a first trimester procedure, the abortionist dilates the cervix, then uses a suction machine attached to a tube to pull apart the developing baby and remove him or her in pieces. The parts of the baby are then examined to make sure the abortion is complete:<\/p>\n
