Abortion facility hides body parts from women in collection jar with ‘cute’ cover

An aspiration abortion, done in the first trimester, is committed by dilating the woman’s cervix, then inserting a surgical instrument called a cannula, which is attached to a tube. The tube is then attached to a machine which generates suction that violently pulls apart the developing baby. Former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino describes this type of abortion in the video below:

1st Trimester Surgical Abortion: Suction (Aspiration) D & C

As early as 7 1/2  weeks after conception, a preborn baby has arms, legs, fingers and toes. The suction generated by the machine dismembers the child. (You can see what the baby’s body looks like after an aspiration abortion here — WARNING: GRAPHIC.)

If the abortionist and abortion workers are not careful, the mother may catch a glimpse of the dismembered parts of her baby in the collection jar.

In an article in The American Feminist, writer Ellen J Reich interviewed various abortion workers. Reich recounts what one worker, Julie, told her about how the abortion facility prevented women from seeing their aborted babies’ body parts:

The “cute” cover prevented the woman from seeing the mutilated body of her baby. Abortion workers were thus able to keep women in the dark.

Many, many post-abortive women have said that abortion facilities kept them in the dark about fetal development. Sue Liljenberg, who was a teenager when she had her abortion, says:

Another post-abortive woman says:

At 11 weeks, her babies had fully developed arms and legs and their hearts had been beating for almost two months. You can see what 11-week-old preborn babies look like in this video:

What eventually led Julie to leave the abortion industry? Reich writes:

This comment bothered Julie, and was one of the things that prompted her to leave the abortion industry. Reich says that Julie is now working with living babies, born prematurely, and is much happier.

An organization that helped her is And Then There Were None, which reaches out to abortion workers and encourages them to leave the industry. Its founder, Abby Johnson, is a former Planned Parenthood manager. The group provides financial and emotional support to former abortion workers and helps them find new jobs outside the abortion industry.
