Clinic worker: we tried to keep the machinery moving

Last Days Ministries publishes a pamphlet called “Abortion Clinics: An Inside Look” which has interviews with former clinic workers. The first clinic worker, whose name is not given, talks about how her clinic would try to get women to come in as soon as possible so they wouldn’t have time to reconsider:

When a girl called to make her appointment, we’d work her in as soon as possible. If she called on Tuesday, we’d have her in no later than Friday. We wanted to avoid a long waiting period where she’d have time to think about it.

The more time that passes between the initial call and the actual abortion procedure, the more time the woman has to think about her choice. In this window of time, she might be influenced by pro-life friends and family. She might decide to seek out more information on abortion’s risks and fetal development on the Internet. She might be exposed to information the clinic does not want her to know. In short, she might change her mind.

When the women did come in for their abortions, they would see a “counselor”:

The counselors were trained in what areas to cover and which to avoid. They’d say, “I know this is a terrible situation you’re in. What can we do to help make this better for you? Yeah, it doesn’t sound like you’re ready for a pregnancy right now.” Their task was to keep the machinery moving – to get the woman into the procedure room as quickly as possible.

Rather than helping a woman work through her decision, these “counselors” were there to keep her quiet and compliant and rush her through her abortion. The so-called counselors would not be there for the woman days, months or years later when she is heartbroken over her abortion. They will not be there to wipe her tears away or help her cope. Once they get her money, and do the abortion, they are finished with her.

Sadly, this abortion clinic is typical of many. You can read more quotes from former clinic workers about similar practices in their own clinics.

This clinic worker’s testimony is further evidence that some abortion clinics take advantage of women.

The first thing the clinic counselor does is ask the gal when she had her last period. The girl responds and the clinic phone person says, "Hold on a minute." Then using the wheel calendar she figures out what the gal's due date will be. Then the clinic worker says. "Your due date is May 3rd."

What the clinic worker did was to 'quantify' the gal's worst fear - that she is indeed pregnant.

This is called "The Hook" and it is used to make sure that the gal goes directly into that clinic and will not call another clinic.

It is a sales technique.

Notice how evil it is. The girl thinks she is pregnant when she may not be. She will go in and get an abortion even if she isn't pregnant.

That begs the question - how many women got abortions who were not really pregnant?

She is left with the guilt and shame when she may not have been pregnant at all.

That is truly evil.

According to Carol Everett, who once ran several abortion clinics before she saw the light and became a prolife champion, it happened deliberately all the time. Selling abortions to unpregnant women was a part of the whole moneymaking strategy of the enterprise.

Don’t give them time to think about it? The priests of Baal probably had the same policy.

Carol is the one who told me about the training technique the abortion clinics use to secure their clients.

Am going to post more of these clinic quotes. Be on the look out. It is just amazing how they lie to these women.

I have her book “Blood Money” and I have seen every video of her on Youtube.

I know her story inside and out. I know about the strange pastor that got her out of the business. Even she did not know what she was doing-—at first. The day her eyes were opened, they were opened. She went back to that clinic and saw women were huddled in the corner crying. She saw it for what it was. She was never the same.
