<\/div>

Some women have multiple abortions<\/a>. And while it may seem surprising, there are abortionists who have expressed frustration with these women, feeling upset that women would treat abortion so casually. One\u00a0staffer expressed it this way<\/a>:\u00a0“Women attending for repeat abortions do evoke powerful primitive feelings in us. We both have experience of women attending up to their fifth termination. It is hard to remain open to a woman and not fall into the easier position of being judgmental of her.\u2026”<\/p>\n

The abortion providers quoted below had feelings of anger and judgment toward women who have multiple abortions. If abortion is only the removal of tissue, no more significant than pulling a tooth, as many pro-choicers claim, why should providers get upset? These abortion workers\u2019 feelings only make sense if abortion is what pro-lifers say it is \u2013 the killing of a preborn child. Abortionists and workers, who see aborted baby remains<\/a>,\u00a0know this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One abortionist described his frustration with a patient who refused to use any sort of contraception:<\/p>\n

She used to come in all the time \u2026 She didn’t use contraceptives and they were being offered to her … Now she’s coming in without using any birth control of any type – a \u2018frequent flier.\u2019 She comes in [for] #15 abortion. And I just had a little problem with that.1<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

Someone who left the industry wrote that repeat abortions caused a feeling of ‘disgust’:<\/p>\n

I would counsel the women during the sedation process before their abortions. \u2026 One woman was there for her eleventh abortion. Eleventh! That disgusted me. One thirty-seven-year-old patient was having her seventh abortion on the same day that her daughter was having her first grandbaby.2<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

Another abortion worker, Marie Stafford, wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I once had a young girl who\u2019d had four abortions and she said it was cheaper for her to have abortions than use any form of contraception because her boyfriend paid for the abortions. She complained about our menu, saying it wasn\u2019t as good as the last time.<\/em><\/p>\n

An abortionist said in the New York Times Magazine<\/a>\u00a0that for some women, abortion is<\/em> their ‘birth control’:<\/p>\n

For some it is definitely a kind of birth control. These women are on their sixth\u00a0one. They have a troubled family situation, and you feel it\u2019s in the best interest for the possible future child. In some ways I do feel that \u2013 but it doesn\u2019t make it any more pleasant.<\/em><\/p>\n

The son of an abortionist described how his father felt about women who came\u00a0in for repeat abortions and expressed no remorse:<\/p>\n

Generally, though, he said, seeing patients register sadness did not disturb him\u2026 What did bother him was seeing a patient (and there were some) for her second, third, or fourth abortion, even after she had been counseled to use contraception, and finding that she still acted blas\u00e9 about it. \u201cThat upsets me,\u201d he said.3<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n
