Carol Everett was the administrator of four abortion clinics and the owner of two. She gave detailed testimony of her time as an abortion clinic worker at the Meet the Abortion Providers Conference in 1993.\u00a0Her detailed testimony can be found here,<\/a> but I want to focus on one aspect of it for this article.<\/p>\n

Abortion clinic hotlines<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently the pro-abortion group NARAL Pro-Choice America launched a campaign against crisis pregnancy centers, claiming that their advertising is misleading. Pro-choice groups often say that crisis pregnancy centers lie to and mislead vulnerable women and manipulate them into choosing life. Carol Everett discusses the advertising that her clinic used to bring in patients:<\/p>\n

How many of you have children 14 and under? How many of you have seen a number, unsolicited, that you think you could call that said, \u201cProblem Pregnancy,\u201d \u201cAbortion Information,\u201d or \u201cPregnant?\u201d in your area where you think you could call for abortion information? Let\u2019s talk about those kids when they find out that they are pregnant. They may not want an abortion; they may want information. But when they call that number that\u2019s paid for by abortion money, what kind of information do you think they\u2019re going to get? Let\u2019s remember, they sell abortions. They don\u2019t sell keeping the baby. They don\u2019t sell giving the baby up for adoption. They don\u2019t sell delivering that baby in any form. They only sell abortions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Everett goes on to discuss exactly how the clinic workers would proceed when a woman called the number:<\/p>\n

So the girl calls this number and says, I\u2019m pregnant. How far along are you? What\u2019s the first day of your last normal period? They\u2019ve got their wheel there and they figure it out. This counselor is paid to be this girl\u2019s friend. She is paid to be the authority for this girl. She is supposed to seduce her into a friendship of sorts to sell her the abortion. Every problem this girl has: I don\u2019t want to tell my parents. You don\u2019t have to tell your parents. They don\u2019t have to know. You\u2019re old enough to come in and have it without them knowing. And then the money, and they ask them to go get their money and pay the people back in a year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The two questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everett says that nearly every woman considering abortion had the same two questions:<\/p>\n

Then the two questions they ask are: Does it hurt? Oh, no. Your\u00a0uterus is a muscle, and they hold their hand up if they\u2019re seeing them; if not, they tell them over the phone: It\u2019s a cramp to open it; a cramp to close it; it\u2019s a slight cramping sensation. Everybody\u2019s had cramps; every woman in the world. So they think that\u2019s no problem. I can stand that; I\u2019ve been through it before. And then they say: Is it a baby? No, it\u2019s a product of conception; it\u2019s a blood clot; it\u2019s a piece of tissue. They don\u2019t even really tell them it\u2019s a fetus, because, you see, that almost humanizes it too much. It\u2019s never a baby. They can\u2019t admit it themselves when they go in the back and have little 6-week fetuses, babies, that they put down disposals, and that\u2019s how we did it in our clinic. The clinics in Dallas use disposals so none of those crazy Pro-Lifers will come and get them out of the trash anymore and bury them the way they did. So, they lie to her. You know, if you look at abortion from the face, I cannot tell you one thing that happens in an abortion clinic that is not a lie. They tell the counselors, and I told the counselors, not to rock the boat; not to answer any questions that they didn\u2019t ask. Get them in here; the faster you can get\u00a0them in here, the easier it is on them. You concentrate on the woman; you tell them to help her, and you don\u2019t deal with the baby at all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Filling out the form<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the woman paid for her abortion (up front \u2013 cash or credit card, no checks) the clinic workers gave her a form to sign that detailed abortion’s risks. The purpose of the form was twofold \u2013 one, to absolve the clinic of liability for any complications or injuries the woman suffers, and two, to confuse and intimidate her so that she doesn\u2019t ask questions.<\/p>\n

Then the girl goes into this room for counseling and they give her a 6 to 12-page form. This form is written by an abortion attorney. Ours was written by one out of New York, and it was written to confuse the girl to death. It had every possible complication of an abortion you could imagine, and it would take [a doctor] two hours with a medical dictionary to go through it. Words two inches long that no one could possibly understand, and it does its job. It confuses her and she doesn\u2019t ask any questions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carol Everett has spoken out against abortion for many years. Her testimony is deeply disturbing, but it shines a light on some very dark secrets of the abortion industry. Remember her testimony the next time you hear NARAL talk about those \u201cdeceptive\u201d and \u201cbiased\u201d crisis pregnancy centers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
