Abortion workers reveal how abortion kills: ‘It’s definitely a baby’

You’re going to see the heart beating – little hearts, you know – and then, all of a sudden, you’re going to put this cardiac medicine in it to make it stop – to kill it.

When pro-lifers show pictures of aborted babies or talk about how preborn children are torn apart in abortions, many people don’t want to believe them. They claim that the pictures are fake, and that the stories of mutilated babies are false or exaggerated. But when abortion facility workers themselves describe abortion’s brutal aftermath, it is harder for people to dismiss.

Pro-choice feminist Wendy Simonds wrote an unabashedly pro-abortion book titled, “Abortion at Work: Ideology and Practice in a Feminist Clinic.” In the book, facility worker “Carrie” freely uses the term “baby” to describe the children she helps abort:

One abortion worker describes seeing preborn babies on ultrasound:

Another worker describes witnessing an abortionist inject the drug digoxin into the hearts of preborn babies to kill them:

Although she reiterates that it’s the doctor and not she who is killing the baby, her words show a certain amount of ambivalence about witnessing the killings first hand. However, she “thanks God” for the poison that makes babies easier to abort, showing that her ambivalence goes only so far. She is dedicated to killing these children.

Clinic worker “Nell” describes why it is hard for her to see what’s left over after abortions:

2nd Trimester Surgical Abortion: Dilation and Evacuation (D & E)

Clinic worker “Sarina” describes the following:

Sarina describes abortion as “destruction” but does not take the next logical step and admit it’s also murder.

Another abortion facility worker describes witnessing an abortion at 21 weeks, standing at the feet of the mother while the abortionist took the baby apart piece by piece:

Many people believe that every human being has a conscience, a basic underlying knowledge of right and wrong. This abortion worker has stifled her conscience, forcing herself to focus only on the woman and not on the baby being aborted. Perhaps if she knew how harmful abortion was to women, raising the risk of suicide, leading to potential premature births of future wanted children, increasing the risk of breast cancer, and otherwise damaging their mental and physical health, she would feel differently.

It is safe to say that Simonds has no pro-life bias.

Yet she does explore the feelings of ambivalence abortion facility workers have when they handle the remains of aborted babies. The abortion facility Simonds writes about commits abortions up to 26 weeks, a time when the baby could survive if born. In fact, at 26 weeks, a baby has an 80-percent chance of surviving premature birth.

Abortion worker “Diana” was comfortable, Simonds notes, with handling aborted babies until she saw one with hair:

Whereas abortion worker “Risa” was more hardened, saying only:

Simonds writes that none of the abortion workers would look at the faces of the babies while “processing tissue.” (86-87)

These disturbing quotes lend credence to the idea that the pictures pro-lifers display are accurate representations of abortions. When pro-lifers describe abortion, they are telling the truth, and these pro-choice testimonies are more proof of that.

Throughout the book, abortion workers make many nasty remarks about pro-lifers. One says:

Another:

And another:

Another makes these ironic comments about pro-lifers who posed as abortion seekers and entered the facility, trying to learn how they treated their patients:

The workers’ near pathological hatred of pro-lifers may have been a product of their uneasy consciences. The pro-lifers confronted them with the truth about what they were doing, and the workers reacted with violent anger.

Would there have been any way to get past that anger and reach these women? It would take a great deal of patience and tolerance of abuse to get past their angry rationalizations. But deep down, these workers know they are committing violence against innocent human beings.

Reading such graphic descriptions of abortions in such an extremely pro-abortion book makes it hard to dismiss what pro-lifers say happens behind the closed doors of abortion facilities. The pro-life accounts are proven true. This is reality, unfiltered and uncensored. The dismembered body parts, the heartbeats visible on sonograms, and the human faces of aborted children are all documented by people as pro-abortion as they come. There is no denying the horror of abortion after reading this book.
