And it\u2019s what a lot of people would call kind of, I guess, gruesome \u2013 that\u2019s not really the word because \u2013 it\u2019s identifiable.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I mean, when he\u2026 takes the forceps and pulls out a foot, you can see the foot, and my reaction \u2013 because I feel so strongly that women who want to have a 21 week abortion should be able to have that \u2013 but I mean when I looked and was just like, you know my first reaction was you know, I was pretty horrified.<\/p>\n<p>And I immediately denied that, and I said, you know, \u201cno, they can\u2019t be my reaction. I\u2019m here for the woman,\u201d and just really sort of squashed that down, that what I saw really freaked me out.<\/p>\n<p>And it stayed with me, you know, and really upset me. I mean, I\u2019d be in the shower, you know, washing my feet, you know, and\u2026 the picture would come to me\u2026 I got to the point where\u2026 I just really needed to sit down and cry, and, like, deal with it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Wendy Simonds <em>Abortion at Work: Ideology and Practice in a Feminist Clinic<\/em> (New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1996) 82<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Late-term abortions are horrific, and they take their toll on those who witness and perform them.
