Abortion worker flees facility after seeing 16-week-old baby born alive

“The former abortion counselor was so horrified she bolted from the clinic. What shocked her was not only that the baby was fully formed with miniature arms and legs. The baby was moving. He or she was still alive.”

Former Planned Parenthood worker Abby Johnson, who was the director of a Houston abortion facility, has written a book compiling the testimonies of former abortion workers. Her book, “The Walls Are Talking,” contains first-hand accounts of workers who helped commit abortions or performed other jobs in abortion centers.

One of the most compelling stories in the book is about the POC lab in a busy abortion facility. POC stands for “Products of Conception.” It is a euphemistic term used in the abortion industry referring to the preborn baby. The POC lab is where the bodies of aborted babies are taken after abortions. These bodies have to be carefully examined by abortion facility staff to make sure all pieces of the baby have been removed from the woman’s uterus. If any parts are left behind, such as an arm or leg, the woman could develop a dangerous infection.

Reflecting on her time in the industry, one worker describes working in the POC lab:

The former worker says that most abortion facilities gradually expose new employees to the realities of abortion. They start new employees out with easier, less emotionally draining tasks like receptionist work, answering phones and abortion counseling. Only later, when the worker has adjusted to her workplace and become entrenched in the pro-abortion mindset, do they assign her to the POC lab.

This worker’s particular facility, however, did things differently:

Baby Development Week by Week

The worker was instructed to go into the POC room and handle the bodies of aborted babies without any real preparation. Even though she had taken a job in the abortion industry, she was not aware how developed the aborted babies were. She had always believed the pro-abortion argument that fetuses were simply cells and tissue. It was only when she examined the remains of actual aborted babies that she discovered the truth:

In reality, a preborn child at just seven and a half weeks after conception has arms and legs with fingers and toes. By eight weeks, the child looks like a miniature baby.

The abortion worker gives a possible reason why she never believed the aborted baby photos and fetal development information that pro-lifers shared were true:

How many post-abortive women struggle to acknowledge the facts about fetal development because they don’t want to face what really happened during their abortions? Denial can be a powerful motivator. It may lead a person to reject the evidence. Some pro-choice people may fail to believe the facts about abortion out of a sense of self-preservation – if they acknowledge that they destroyed a baby with a beating heart, brain waves, arms and legs, and fingers and toes, they would be overwhelmed with guilt and grief. They become emotionally invested in denying reality and assuming that everything pro-lifers say is untrue.

Despite her realization that the aborted babies she was handling were fully developed and human looking, the abortion worker was able to repress her emotions. Like a professional, she handled the aborted remains and showed no emotions.

The director of the facility was impressed by this lack of feelings. She told the worker, “You are the only person that I’ve ever brought back here that hasn’t gotten all emotional. You’re the one who will take over this affiliate.”

Working in the POC lab became a daily task for this abortion worker. She examined the bodies of the babies and carefully counted arms and legs.

The worker describes what happened when another abortion facility employee was instructed to help in the POC lab. This woman had been working for the abortion facility for years. She was an abortion counselor.  She had “counseled” many women, encouraging them to have abortions. But she had never seen the remains of an aborted baby. She was shocked when she saw the body of a 16-week-old aborted child.

The abortion worker narrating the story says:

The former abortion counselor was so horrified she bolted from the clinic. What shocked her was not only that the baby was fully formed with miniature arms and legs. The baby was moving. He or she was still alive.

The narrator of the story had nothing but contempt for the woman who fled. She says:

The aborted baby was alive even after the legs were torn from her body. The partially dismembered baby must have been suffering agonizing pain. According to the former worker, the baby quickly died.

Yet, this abortion worker was unfazed and continued to work at the abortion facility.

It is not unheard of for babies to be aborted alive. In another case, documented by The Center for Medical Progress, Stem – Express technician Holly O’Donnell witnessed a baby who was alive after an abortion. O’Donnell was at the abortion facility to collect fetal parts for research. She recalls what she saw when another abortion worker called her over:

Holly’s colleague then began cutting open the aborted baby’s face to extract her brain. O’Donnell helped her in this task, and when it was done, she shoved the baby’s body into a container to be disposed of.

Holly later told the story in a pro-life video.

Incidents like these take place in abortion facilities around the country every day.
