Future Abortion Doctor: “Seeing an Arm Being Pulled Through the Vaginal Canal Was Shocking”
Men and women who are considering providing abortions as a career must overcome their natural revulsion to witnessing violence. They must silence their consciences and prepare themselves to participate in the destruction of human life on a daily basis. If they cannot do this, they will not be able to perform abortions. Here are quotes from four people – two medical students, a doctor, and a would-be Planned Parenthood director, going through this process.
1.) A doctor who was trying to decide whether or not to perform abortions witnessed a second trimester procedure and described what she saw:
Seeing an arm being pulled through the vaginal canal was shocking. One of the nurses in the room escorted me out when the colour left my face… Not only was it a visceral shock; this was something I had to think deeply about…. It… cannot feel pain or think or have any sense of being, but the reality is, this cannot be called ‘tissue’. It was not something I could be comfortable with.
You can see how this doctor tries to rationalize what she’s seen by telling herself the baby didn’t feel pain while being dismembered. Yet she remains troubled. She decided to do only early abortions, ones in which the baby would not be fully formed or would be so delicate and small that it would be completely torn apart by the suction machine. Since these abortions leave no recognizable parts behind, this doctor could convince herself that abortion is only “removing tissue.”
2.) Sue Thayer worked for Planned Parenthood until being converted to the pro-life cause. Thayer was never enthusiastic about abortion, and the clinic where she worked did not perform them. But since a huge part of Planned Parenthood’s business is providing abortions, and Thayer would be expected to provide referrals to abortion clinics, her bosses told her to witness the procedures firsthand. They wanted to be absolutely sure that Thayer was okay with abortion before they hired her.
