Abortion patient describes her thoughts while waiting in clinic

By Sarah Terzo

Abortion patient, as she was in the clinic before her abortion:

“I felt that this was the time to say ‘Stop!’ If that was what I wanted, but it wasn’t. I also felt that it would have been very easy to become overemotional psychologically and start thinking things like, ‘They are going to take my baby away.’”

Mary Pipes, Understanding Abortion (London: The Women’s Press, 1998), p. 120.
