Note: Jewels Green is a former abortion clinic worker who also had an abortion herself. She recently spoke out about her experiences as an abortion clinic worker for the first time. You can read that article here. In this column she reveals more details about her five years at the clinic.
September 8, 2011 (LiveAction.org) - So much became daily business-as-usual while working at an abortion clinic year after year: the tears, the shouting parents and boyfriends, the drivers who accompanied abortion patients who said they were “going out for a cigarette” and then disappeared—abandoning the pregnant mother they’d brought in, the jokes in the lunchroom about the one who showed up with her multiple other kids in tow (we did not allow children in the waiting room. Ever.)
Even the macabre became commonplace. The gallows humor I’d seen in movies about medical staff that work around disease and death day in and day out was right at home in an abortion clinic.
I vividly remember the cleaning lady who quit after finding a foot in the drain of the one of the sinks in the autoclave room (where the medical instruments were cleaned and sterilized after abortions) and how we all laughed and joked about it in the staff lounge for days and weeks afterward.
When the power went out one time for hours and we were all explicitly instructed NOT to open the freezer where all of the medical waste was stored (read: dead baby parts in bio-hazard bags) but inevitably, someone did open that freezer and I will never, ever forget the stench of decaying human flesh for as long as I live—but we all laughed as we gagged and joked how at least “they” had it better in that non-functioning freezer because at least they couldn’t smell it.
But one thing about the clinic never sat well with me, and maybe this is because in my heart I always knew it was wrong. All of it was wrong. Especially this: the dead baby in the refrigerator in the lab. It was touted as a “teaching tool” and a “medical anomaly” that this perfect 10-week-old fetus “survived” the suction abortion procedure perfectly intact. So he (I thought I could tell it was a he) was given the dubious honor of being preserved in formalin in a translucent plastic jar in the laboratory refrigerator. I think we called him Charlie, but I can’t really remember. I know he had a name, but blissfully I have either forgotten or repressed it. But he was there. Every day I worked there.
Occasionally I peeked in on him, fascinated by the bizarreness of it all, but also with a scientific curiosity—every other abortion resulted in parts, bits and pieces of human in the jar—but this miraculous little creature was perfectly formed and complete in every way, with the heartbreaking exception that he was dead. There was no amniotic sac, no placenta, just teeny-tiny perfect little baby. Floating in the jar. In the fridge. Forever silent witness to the march of death of his immature brethren.
How I now pray his soul rests in peace, and that someday he is given decent burial—or at the very least tossed out with the rest of the bio-hazardous waste—for that would be far more merciful than where I knew him to be.

William Rehnquist and Byron White dissented.
“While I personlly oppose abortion, I strongly support a woman’s right to choose.” Slick public relations slogans that have covered over the truth about abortion.
People who support abortion are animals, not human beings.
Remarkable article. Sharing immediately.
Don’t forget Rachel Carson.
Responsible for the premature deaths of tens of millions.
Government sanctioned infanticide.
How can one live with this? I couldn’t live with myself.

Aren’t there stories of Nazi’s laughing at Jews as they died in the gas chambers?
In a way, I can see why they laughed. As a defense mechanism to keep them from focusing on the atrocities they are committing against another human being. Because if they do stop the laughter and realize what they are doing - the only natural reaction is to put a bullet in their brain.
“Ha Ha ha ha ha.....”
In balance, here is the story of an abortioners conversion of heart.
Serbian Abortionist Who Aborted 48,000 Babies Becomes Pro-Life Activist
I have a friend that is a post-abortive counselor. She says that women suffer more the older they get. She had a woman in her 40’s tell her that it haunts her each and every day.
Of those Supreme Court Justices who voted for Roe v. Wade, the most evil decision in the history of that court, I think the absolute worst was William J. Brennan, Jr.
Harry Blackmun wrote the opinion, but he was actually pretty much Brennan’s sock puppet. And what made it even worse, Brennan was a supposed Catholic who must have understood exactly what he was doing.
There were three kinds of Germans, so I’ve read.
The first kind knew what was going on and didn’t know, or wouldn’t admit, it was wrong. Their fate was surely hell.
The second kind didn’t know. Their numbers and their fate is not easy to discern.
The third kind were the ones who absolutely knew what was going on and absolutely knew it was wrong, yet when confronted did nothing to stop it. I wonder at their fate when I consider abortion clinics.
Who can do these things? What sort of person can perform these procedures and acts? How depraved! Putting babies down the disposer, whirrrrrrrrrrr, bang, crunch, chomp.

Definitely worth it to click the link and read the whole article. She was influenced by another abortion clinic worker who saw the light of truth and life. May many more have change of heart.
