Abortion facility charged overweight women more for their abortions

In a webcast sponsored by And Then There Were None, a pro-life group that helps abortion workers escape the abortion industry, a former abortion worker explains how overweight women were charged higher fees for their abortions than other women.

Shelley Guillory worked at the Delta Clinic, assisting with abortions from 8 to 16 weeks. In a previous article, Live Action quoted her description of the horrific and filthy conditions at Delta:

Abortion is presented a sterile, simple procedure, but in reality, it is very violent. Dr. Anthony Levatino, a former abortionist, explains the violence of even a first trimester procedure, in which a preborn child — who already has a heartbeat, brain waves, and who can make facial expressions — is brutally killed:

In addition to the filthy conditions, however, there was one more humiliation waiting for women who went to Delta for abortions. Guillory explains that heavier women were charged more for their abortions than thinner women:

Abby Johnson explains that charging overweight women more for their abortions is not limited to Delta – other facilities do it as well. Johnson says:

Abby Johnson states it perfectly. The abortion industry claims to be pro-woman. It claims that abortion empowers women. Yet in some facilities, women are shamed for being overweight and actually charged more for their abortions. Treating women this way is far from empowering. Abortion facilities, including Planned Parenthood, exploit women in many ways, and charging overweight women more is just one more example of the lack of regard that the abortion industry has for women. Some abortionists have even been said to favor “the pretty girls” over other women:

Delta is not the only facility to overcharge overweight women, and certainly not the only facility to operate in dirty and unsanitary conditions.  The filthy conditions and exploitive pricing that occurred at Delta show that Delta did not value women or care about their well-being. Delta was there to take their money and abort their babies, but their safety and dignity were not priorities. The abortion industry exploits women, plain and simple.
