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:

It was very, very – it was horrendous. I mean, it was filthy. You still had blood splattered from, I mean, weeks of procedures ago that were still on the wall. This building was not cleaned on a daily basis. It wasn’t even cleaned on a monthly basis. Our buildings got cleaned when we knew the state was coming in.

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:

The one thing I found about our clinic that was humiliating and dehumanizing was that if a larger woman came in, she was charged an additional $150 to $200 because she created a little bit more difficulty because of her size. Whether the abortion was complicated or not. Because she was large, she was charged extra.

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

We’ve heard that before. It’s not something we did at our clinic, but it’s something we’ve heard before, that they basically had an overweight fee for women who weighed a little more. They would charge more for the abortion procedure, which is so vile and so anti-empowerment – I mean like, how good does that make you feel? Like, you’re over 195 pounds, you’re getting a fee for that. It’s so anti-woman and so against everything they say they are about.… I hear all the time – Planned Parenthood, the abortion industry, talking about how we don’t want to shame women, no shame, no stigma, blah blah blah, unless you’re certain size, then we’re going to charge you more to perform an abortion.

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.

Good thing I’m against abortion and I am a man. They would charge me in the thousands.

Ain’t nothing good about being this overweight. Especially since it is one of the few vices that shines through for everyone to see. Even a drug addict can hide it. And Gamblers. A sex fiend. A drinker. At least some of the time. For this fatso there is no hiding.

But back to the matter at hand. This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt it is a money making machine. There is no concern for the woman. Throw in sadism too.

Dude I’ve said from the beginning this whole thing is about the $$$$$$$. They don’t care about women they want the money.

Although sometimes here lately, with some of these doctors...I wonder something else. I wonder if they like Dahmer or Bundy they just like killing. I’ve read somethings that are just not right.

Sadism? Yes.

Maybe more than some enjoy it.

Or you’re just mentally sick to begin with.

I’ve known pretty nasty gangsters years ago who wouldn’t put money into this “business”.

No big secret for a while there’s money in those little body parts.

And yes, if you are looking for gangsters to fund something, you are a criminal enterprise out to make money. And quite demented.

Although sometimes here lately, with some of these doctors...I wonder something else. I wonder if they like Dahmer or Bundy they just like killing.

Read abortionist Hern’s description of committing abortion. It is obvious that he loves killing.

It is a real shame that the women who fall for the abortion narrative do not ever make the logical leap to figure out that someone who, at the very least, has no moral qualms about killing the most innocent and helpless is incapable of feeling any kind of concern over the clients whose babies they kill. Psychopaths are incapable of empathy; other people are mere objects to them. And it takes a true psychopath to make a career of killing babies.

“I wonder if they like Dahmer or Bundy they just like killing.”

I’d say that’s closer to it. Think of it, taking a small defenseless human begin out of it’s mother and killing it. It can’t be about money. If these people are truly medical professionals of some sort, especially a doctor, they can get filthily rich just doing a normal doctor’s job at some clinic.

I’d say they are much closer to being a Dahmer than a Bundy - they have to have the same mentality as those that ran Auschwitz and other similar places. Women paying one of these monsters to do the work is nearly as bad.

You guys are right. The Hippocratic Oath insists on not performing abortions. If doctors really cared about patients they could not perform these. Period.

Think of a cricket crossing a sidewalk and of the type of man who wouldn’t just keep walking but would take a couple steps out of his path to deliberately kill the cricket on the street. It takes an enjoyment of ultimate power to not let a harmless cricket on some lonely street live.
