Young woman takes job at clinic, then finds out they do abortions
A young woman living independently of her mother for the first time gets involved in an abortion clinic without knowing it:
“I enrolled at Miami-Dade College
and answered a newspaper ad seeking a receptionist at a Women’s Clinic
close by the house where I was staying. I was immediately hired and
began my training on how to answer the phone behind the front desk. At
the time, all I was looking for was a job and an opportunity. Being
offered a position in a medical clinic was a great opportunity as it
allowed me to stay in the medical field, where I hoped to continue to
grow and develop.
I was not familiar with the
services offered by this clinic at the time I accepted the job. I
assumed with it being a women’s clinic, it implied annual gynecological
exams and birth control. It wasn’t until I was hired that I discovered
they also provided abortions. I was unfamiliar with the medical
procedure itself as it related to abortions, but 3 years before, Roe V
Wade had made abortions legal and to my impressionable young mind, legal
meant that they were safe. As far as I was concerned that was really
all that mattered.” [1]
This young woman certainly didn’t wrestle with the dilemma of whether abortion was right or wrong. She had no real understanding of what abortion actually was like. She had never seen one. She didn’t know the gruesome nature of many abortion procedures, the fact that after suctioning out the baby, doctors often have to sort through the fetal remains to find 2 arms, 2 legs, a head, etc., to make sure they got everything out. Even though just a room or two away, abortionists were taking apart children, she didn’t know the reality.
