Abortion Clinic Told Staff: “Don’t Tell Women the Abortion Will Hurt”
Life News ^ | 11/13/14 | Sarah Terzo

One Chicago abortion clinic said the following on a brochure aimed at women considering abortions at the clinic:

“From admission to recovery, patient ease and comfort are first considerations. She is encouraged to ask questions, share feelings or misgivings.”

These were the actual instructions given to the clinic workers:

“1. Don’t tell [the] patient. The abortion will hurt.

2. Don’t discuss [the abortion] procedure or the instruments to be used in any detail.

3. Don’t answer too many questions.

Pamela Zekman and Pamela Warrick “The Abortion Profiteers” Chicago Sun-Times November 12, 1978

This article was from a long time ago but things in the abortion clinics haven’t changed much. Read about what one former Planned Parenthood clinic worker says about how the clinic counseled their patients.

Former Planned Parenthood worker Catherine Anthony Adair :

“In fact, clinic workers would purposefully avoid providing information on fetal development, what the child looked like, the child’s anatomical development and the pain he or she could feel. I was continuously reminded that when referring to the baby, the appropriate terminology was “clump of cells” or “contents of the uterus.”

Planned Parenthood’s mission is to pressure as many women into having an abortion as it can. Those in charge know that can’t be accomplished if they refer to the child as a “baby.”

Then women would know what was really growing inside them: a little person with a beating heart, functioning nervous system, tiny hands and feet. The child is entirely disregarded. There is no counseling, no care, no waiting and no discussion. Once a pregnancy is confirmed, it is off to termination.”

Catherine Anthony Adair “Planned Parenthood lies about itself” Washington Examiner, 11/22/11. Quoted in Abortion Industry’s “Mission Is To Pressure Women”, Afterabortion.org, Elliot Institute, January 12, 2012.

but:

In their factsheet “THE TRUTH ABOUT CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTERS” NARAL Pro-Choice America makes the following ironic statement:

Unfortunately, reports indicate that CPCs frequently misinform, mislead, and coerce women with unintended or crisis pregnancies. Staff and volunteers at CPCs often use anti-abortion propaganda to dissuade women from exercising their right to choose…”

It goes on to say:

“Women are entitled to accurate, comprehensive and unbiased medical information with which they can make their own decisions.”

It won't hurt.

Won't hurt your body. Your mind. Your soul. Your future chances of having children.

Most of all it does not hurt the baby inside you.

Do I really need the sarc tag for that?

Is there anywhere else where a “doctor” can lie to your face without consequences?

With minor modifications it could be the Grubber plan for O-Care:

“1. Don’t tell public this will hurt.

2. Don’t discuss any procedures or the funding instruments to be used in any detail.

3. Don’t answer too many questions.

Oh please Gerry, half of these chicks don’t even see the abortionist till they are on the table. They see a “counselor” like what Abby Johnson or Carol Evertt was, who sells them the abortion. That counselor takes all their information.

Yes. I'm with my mother in Florida right now, helping to sort out issues with my father's care, and all medical personnel can lie to you all the time with no consequences. You can't trust anybody.

John 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

The physical pain is only a small part of the pain they’ll feel for the rest of their lives.

when I went to the Dentist to get dental implants they gave me a sheet explaining the entire process. Abortion is the only medical procedure where the details of the procedure are kept hidden.

I know. When people say “it’s between a woman and her doctor,” I shake my head. HER doctor is rarely the one who either counsels her or performs the abortion. The abortionist is usually a complete stranger the woman does not meet until she’s paid up front and is in the stirrups. In most cases she probably won’t even know “her” doctor’s name.

How could we have returned to this? Not even the Holocaust was enough?

This is true. I remember when I was 14 and an older brother of a friend drove me to one of those clinics in Chicago. There was no discussion, they told me to wait in a room and they’d call me back at my turn. When I tried to ask a couple of questions I got the stock response like “Don’t worry the clump of cells is very tiny and there’s no nerves yet, it’s not a baby, etc. so I went to the waiting room and started chatting with a friendly black woman. After it was done, we were in the recovery room together and I had such severe cramping and nausea (Was not warned and didn’t expect it) and she did her best to try and help. She’d say “blue (she called me this because of my eyes I believe)it’ll be okay, just eat these crackers slowly and take the pain meds they’re going to give you, it’ll pass in a couple hours. She then said that this was her 5th one and she knows what to expect. I was shocked, even though I didn’t fully understand the ramifications of it at that young age. I mourn/yearn for that little baby to this day. And I thought about the woman for years after and always hoped she found her way out of the abyss and sought after the Lord.

In the context of the chapter Jesus is talking to the Pharisees who are questioning who Jesus is and their wish to murder him. In this case we have abortion practitioners wishing to murder and lying in order to achieve that end.
