I've changed my mind. I have already started the procedure. Many times, other nurses will have to be called in to hold the woman on the table while the doctor completes the abortion. The sounds of the suction machine, as the blood and small parts of the baby pop through the tube, are permanently imbedded in the woman's memory. Finally, the procedure is over, and she is moved to the recovery room.
Aborted women have two reactions in the recovery room.
As bad as this sounds, this woman has had an opportunity to deal with the death of her child, grieve, and go on with her life. It has been four. But she can't leave yet. Take these birth control pills. With inadequate information, the woman is given the pill, and statistics show that when contraceptives are dispensed in this environment, pregnancy rates go up.
