Abortion provider to colleagues: Don’t let women see the sonogram
Dr. Sally Faith Dorfman, who worked at Einstein Medical College, gave the following advice to abortion providers:
A compassionate and sensitive sonographer should remember to turn the screen away from the plane of view [of the woman having an abortion]. Staff, too, may find themselves increasingly disturbed by the repeated visual impact of an aspect of their work that they need to partially deny in order to continue to function optimally and to concentrate on the needs of the women who come to them for help.
