The judge, finding himself in a potential conflict of interest declared a mistrial. Similar incidents have been documented at other Canadian and American clinics. They arise because, like the characters on the Law and Order episode, everyone in the abortion industry depends on euphemism and denial. They bemoan the shortage of willing doctors yet often despise those who earn their livelihood from abortion. Clinic doctors and nurses often report nightmares and many admit they cannot look at the tiny body parts in the pan after the abortion.
Public exposure strips the pretence and threatens the industry.
It forces clinic workers to confront the truth of what they do.
