These aborted children are dehumanized in the clinic, tossed into plastic baggies to be disposed of after being brutally killed. At least this abortion\u00a0worker shows a glimmer of humanity as she handles their corpses.<\/p>\n<p>It is eerie reading how the clinic worker rationalizes her abortion work. In claiming that her birth mother should have had the right to choose abortion, this facility\u00a0worker is saying that her birth \u00a0mother had a right to kill her. To avoid the uncomfortable implications of this statement, she hides behind a religious platitude, claiming &#8220;everything happens for a reason.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, late term abortions in this clinic were done by dismemberment abortion\u00a0\u2014 the\u00a0D&amp;E abortion procedure, where the baby came out in pieces.
