“In some ways it is very boring, these abortions \u2014 the same thing day after day. In fact the nurses are excited about complications because it\u2019s something different.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

These are the words of a Director of Nursing at an abortion clinic, quoted by the late\u00a0pro-choice writer Magda Denes. She did extensive interviews with clinic staff, witnessed abortions, and examined the remains of aborted children, for her book In Necessity and Sorrow<\/em>. As\u00a0a Holocaust survivor, Denes\u00a0found her pro-choice views challenged by the disturbing things she saw, but she held onto her belief that abortion should be a legal option for all women.\u00a0Abortion, in her opinion, was a tragic but necessary thing that women need\u00a0to order their lives and to achieve equality. Perhaps the fact that she had had an abortion herself influenced her views.<\/p>\n

I suppose it\u2019s easy to understand why clinic nurses, like the ones described in the quote above, get bored. After all, how many severed body parts<\/a> \u00a0can one look at, over and over again, without it all becoming routine?<\/p>\n

Even late-term abortions – done up to 24 weeks at the nurse’s clinic – became routine. But to Denes, new to the scene, they were anything but routine. In her book, she\u00a0describes seeing the body of one late-term aborted baby. Curious to see what the remains of an abortion actually looked like, she went over to the buckets where the aborted babies were stored before being taken to the incinerator. She writes:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

I remove with one hand the lid of a bucket\u2026 I look inside the bucket in front of me. There is a small naked person there floating in a bloody liquid\u2026 the body is purple with bruises and the face has the agonized tautness of one forced to die too soon. Death overtakes me in a rush of madness.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

These “agonized” faces of the babies they saw on a daily basis even became\u00a0boring over time. If this weren’t disturbing enough, the complications experienced by women during their abortions were actually exciting to them. Remember, these are injuries<\/em> to women.<\/p>\n

These injuries cause physical pain and suffering. Many abortion complications can cause permanent damage to a woman\u2019s body. A perforation of the uterus can cause massive bleeding. Fetal parts left behind can mean a traumatic repeat procedure. Other complications can lead to hysterectomies and a complete loss of fertility. These\u00a0and other complications may\u00a0rob a woman of any future chance to have a baby. This is what those clinic workers were \u201cexcited\u201d about.<\/p>\n

All of this\u00a0shows an appalling lack of compassion towards the women these abortion clinics are\u00a0supposed to be helping and serving\u00a0– a\u00a0lack of compassion that is, sadly, all too prevalent in abortion clinics.<\/p>\n
