<\/div>

In 1992, former abortionist\u00a0Susan Poppema described how<\/a> she selected employees to work at her abortion facility:<\/p>\n

\n

We choose people to work [at the clinic]\u00a0based on their political commitment as well as their medical capabilities. We can teach people what they need to know medically, but we cannot teach them political commitment; we can encourage it, but we can\u2019t teach that as well.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

One wonders whether pro-abortion ideology or medical capabilities were prioritized in selecting abortion\u00a0workers. Obviously, an abortionist would want to choose workers who are 100% dedicated to abortion, especially considering the things these\u00a0workers see on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

For example, \u00a0author Sue Hertz writes about witnessing an abortion in a facility\u00a0she visited for her book\u00a0Caught in the Crossfire: A Year on Abortion\u2019s Front Line.<\/em><\/a> Hertz\u00a0describes the aftermath of a suction D&C or aspiration<\/a> abortion, the most common type of abortion performed\u00a0in the United States. In this type of abortion, the baby is pulled apart and sucked down a tube attached to a suction machine.\u00a0(See video below).<\/p>\n

[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5THDmys8z30]<\/p>\n

After an aspiration abortion, the facility workers then have to examine the parts to make sure no pieces of the baby\u00a0are left behind in the mother’s body. \u00a0Leaving a part behind can cause an infection. Hertz says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2026[the doctor] removed from the glass jar cheesecloth sack which caught the fetal parts, dumping the parts into a basin at the end of the table, between [the patient’s] feet. Two legs, two arms, two fists, a skull, a backbone, a placenta. \u201cWe\u2019ve got it\u201d he announced.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Obviously, abortion center\u00a0workers would have to be completely devoted to providing abortions to tolerate seeing this kind of thing\u00a0every day. Anyone not completely dedicated to abortion would be horrified and quickly leave the facility, so it’s understandable that Poppema would want to make absolutely certain to hire pro-abortion people.<\/p>\n

It is also\u00a0troubling\u00a0that Poppema\u00a0is so cavalier about hiring abortion\u00a0workers with little training, teaching them to practice medicine on the job. Prioritizing commitment to the cause over medical skills can’t be beneficial for the women entrusting their health to the facility. \u00a0A\u00a0woman going in for an abortion doesn’t know that the workers caring for her are in training. How many women would\u00a0feel comfortable going to an abortion facility where workers are only in the process of learning?<\/p>\n

The fact that Poppema’s facility was willing to hire staff lacking\u00a0medical skills is just another example of how the\u00a0abortion industry doesn’t care about women’s health and safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
