INTRODUCTION

A s I worked on this book, I reflected on my life experience of being an employee at an abortion clinic. I know that some people wonder what really goes on in abortion clinics. Because, I’ve been asked numerous times, I thought that I would write about it. This book is to let the reader know more about abortion, not just directly on abortions, but also the reality of abortions, the untold true stories—or, shall I say, the unheard of—coming directly from the employee who’s had eight years of experience of working in an abortion clinic. This is my true experience and my true story about women and their choices and the things that they go through physically and mentally behind the doors of an abortion clinic. From my encounters with these patients of the everyday life inside an abortion Clinic, you will think that it is the most unheard of and the most unbelievable and the most unthinkable things that goes on at an abortion Clinic. Things that you wouldn’t ever have known unless you’ve worked in such a place or been in those shoes.

As you know that abortion is one of the biggest and most popular topics with politics today. I feel that it’s just something that needs to be told, and the people should know and have the right to know. And I know that when people hear the word abortion, all sorts of things go through their minds, like an unborn baby, fetus is being killed, and then they wonder why and how a woman could do such a thing, what someone could be going through so bad that it could drive them into wanting and feeling that they need to have an abortion to get rid of an unborn baby, and how someone could make such a decision. So I decided to write about all these things that I had experienced during the eight years of my life while working at an abortion clinic, and hopefully, by me writing this book, that will kill the reader’s curiosity and help the reader to know every aspect and learn about the reality or gain some understanding of this type of situation leading women up to making such a decision on having an abortion, the unspoken coming from behind closed doors.

BEFORE I BECAME

AN EMPLOYEE

I graduated in 1997 from high school, and in 1998 I went to a small college to become a medical assistant. I didn’t quite get in to the medical field right off because I was having no luck at all, so while I was faxing résumés and going on different interviews, I had ended up working at a warehouse, thanks to my aunt who was already working there. She told me to just come and work there until I could get a job in my field. The job paid $6 an hour, paid every week and with no benefits. I had worked there about two years, and during those two years, I was looking for a job in the medical field, but I was still having no luck. I prayed and prayed that I would find something that paid better.

So I ended up filling out an application at Medical Temp Service, and I would work one to two days out of a week. One site that I would go to often was the school for the blind, and I would give an injection to a patient that couldn’t give it to himself. This was a night job site because I was working a full-time job during the day, and the temp service couldn’t find me a full-time position during the day, so I told them that I could do nights if they ever needed someone to go out to a site, that I would be available to work. Temp service sometimes can find full-time jobs and sometimes can’t, so I would get called in to fill in when an employer is an employee short, that would be every now and then when they called me. The job would pay $9 an hour just whenever they would call me for a job site to go to. Sometimes weeks would pass, and there would be nothing, and eventually, there was nothing.

One time I had got a call about an interview for a medical assistant at a hospital. They had received a fax of my résumé that had come from the school, and the lady had set up an appointment for an interview, and I went. And at the interview I eventually found out that I would have to work as a certified nurse assistant. Since I had no experience and I would have to do this for at least thirty days, I had to first take the CNA class there for two weeks and then work as a CNA for thirty days as a hands-on experience, and then she would eventually hire me as a medical assistant. Now that didn’t make much sense to me. I was applying for the medical assistant position and she was trying to give me a CNA position, cleaning up and feeding patients, wiping patients and bathing patients, and that was not what I had gone to school for, so of course I turned
