I see a conflictedness in this woman's writing that you seem to be under-acknowledging here. On the one hand, she uses language of "beauty" and a sense of fulfillment, but then in some of these quotes she seems to let her guard down enough to admit to feelings of wariness, like when marveling at the durability of the gestational sac. It's seeing nature's protection of the baby that makes her see the unnatural in the killing. And that's the flicker of doubt she was willing to admit in print. Who knows how many more moments of doubt she's hiding, even from herself, by trying to focus on the skill? I suspect the focus on the skill required for the job serves as a distraction from what the job actually entails.
This is TOTALLY SICK! These abortionists don't care about women at all. It is perfectly OK to torture a woman, and she's not allowed to scream her agony. And people who support abortions are critical of pro-life people who think charity should be privatized, and yet they provide help free of charge for pregnant mothers for as long as they need it, voluntarily, with their donations and time.
If I didn't have a strong stomach, I would have had to rush to a small room immediately on reading this. I already know about the horrors of a once living child, a beautiful creation, being reduced to meat, but to read how they think about it...how can anyone with a shred of humanity look at it that way? How can they?
Thank you for presenting this. I have no criticisms for your reprinting good articles. I share a lot of other people's substacks. If I thought it was worth reading, it might be worth the while of my subscribers. As for Rachel MacNair, you couldn't have chosen a better person to work with.

An interesting observation. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for sharing.
