In 1978, the Chicago Sun-Times and the Better Government Association initiated a five-month undercover investigation\u00a0into Chicago’s “thriving abortion business.” In part four<\/a>\u00a0of the Times’ series, the reporters introduced their audience to abortionist Ming Kow Hah, who operated multiple abortion facilities but — as the investigation revealed — deliberately failed to administer anesthetics to his patients, making the procedure very painful. Parts five and six of the Times’ series focused on unsavory abortion staffers and so-called abortion ‘counselors’.<\/p>\n

Abortionist Ming Kow Hah had an obvious disregard for women.\u00a0Hah’s patients alleged that the abortionist just “jab[bed] the rod in” before starting abortion procedures.<\/p>\n

“All Hah’s patients are in pain because he doesn’t take time to give them the [pain-killing] injections,” the paper’s investigative aide\u00a0said<\/a> she was told by an abortion staffer.<\/p>\n

Another patient claimed that, instead of waiting for the Lidocaine to take effect, Hah, “just started right in – one, two, three. I was sobbing.”<\/p>\n

Another claimed, “It’s painful, real painful. I know he never gave me no anesthetic….”<\/p>\n

After Hah botched an abortion on another patient, she told reporters, “I don’t have a normal body. My abdomen looks like a sky map of the Grand Canyon. I don’t have a spleen… and I have a lot of psychological cars that will be with me forever. I’m lucky to have lived.” Of the abortion itself, the patient claimed, “It hurt so bad and I was screaming so loud, they stuck a tampon in my mouth.” After months in the hospital, the patient filed a lawsuit against Hah.<\/p>\n

The abortionist eventually lost his license after he was charged with prescribing narcotics and handing out rarely used and dangerous drugs.<\/p>\n

Ulrich Klopfer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Klopfer’s name became more well-known after his death in 2019, when his family found thousands of aborted babies in his garage and alerted authorities. But Klopfer had long been an unscrupulous abortion provider — and the abortion industry has been known to “circle the wagons,” so to speak, around even the worst abortionists. When Planned Parenthood was quoted in the 1978 Chicago Sun-Times expos\u00e9, the corporation supported the news outlet’s investigative findings; however, years later when pro-lifers exposed Klopfer’s failure to report abortions on minor girls, Planned Parenthood — guilty of the same thing — was silent.<\/p>\n

According to the article, Klopfer and Hah would “compete” to see who could commit the most abortions.<\/p>\n

“Klopfer would be having a cup of coffee and be on his last sip when he’d jump up and say ‘I’d better get going or Hah will have the whole recovery room full,'” an abortion facility nurse said<\/a>.\u00a0“When Hah is here, Klopfer really zips.”<\/p>\n

Incompetent Abortion Staffers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part five<\/a> of the Sun-Times’ series begins by saying, “We were hired off the street as aides, medical assistants and counselors. Without checking our references or credentials, four of Chicago’s abortion clinics gave us jobs we were unqualified to hold and tasks we were untrained to perform. The clinics asked us to do everything but perform abortions. They wanted us to remove IVs, administer injections, give psychological counseling and assist in surgery.”<\/p>\n
