Sign Language Interpreter Shares Heartbreaking Story of Having to Interpret Abortion
Life News ^ | November 17, 2023 | Sarah Terzo

A woman named Hope was hired by Planned Parenthood to interpret the worker’s words into sign language for deaf patients. She describes what she experienced when she was asked to interpret during an abortion. The baby was aborted at eighteen weeks:

At 10:30 sharp, we entered the operating room. That’s when my stomach started to turn. Previously, when I’d read “medical procedure,” it had been for ultrasounds. But this was different – we were in an OR. The lights were too bright for the size of the room. There were cold-looking metal objects on a table. I was in an abortion.

I tried to remain calm. I interpreted back and forth, but when the murder began, I lost it. As I watched the doctor pull this life out, limb by limb, I couldn’t help but let the tears start to fall. What I had thought would be just lumps of blood clots were body parts. Arms, a torso, legs, and a head. I felt as if I was suffocating. As soon as it was over, I ran from the room. I collapsed in the hallway and sobbed uncontrollably. To this day, I haven’t cried like that since. A security guard rushed me into his office. I realize now that it was probably not to console me, but because I was scaring the patients.

I quit my job that afternoon. I went into the manager’s office and signed my papers. Abortion was not a strong enough word for what I had witnessed. Murder wasn’t even good enough a word. To me, murder implied that the person might have been capable of fighting back. No, this was a slaughter.”

She was fine working for Planned Parenthood until she had to witness what their main function was. What did she think those ultrasounds were for? They were to determine gestation to make sure the method of abortion would be used. She can not have been that naive.

She may not be okay with it but she felt that it was her "duty" to do the job. After all, she was providing communication access for her client.

But I doubt it though. She's probably a liberal.

True. If conservative, she didn't expect it was going to be so gruesome to witness it.

If liberal, she might have been so shocked to stomach it, and possibly end up considering changing her political views...

What kind of human being can perform abortions?
