And I understand. And remember, my abortion views are odd. I support it for others, but couldn't ever do it myself, so there's a lot that I don't understand about the mindset of the mother and things of that nature. Five months is the latest that I can see anyone being able to say that it's not a baby. (Not to start a debate on when a baby becomes a baby...really, just from talking to people that have had abortions and reading online and things like that. I know we all have our own views on that.)
There are a lot of places in the U.S. where you can't even abort that far into a pregnancy, but I could accept a mother's choice up until about five months along. After that, it's difficult for me to see how anyone could do it, even in the countries where extremely late term abortion is still legal.
But this...at eight months gestation, born and out of the womb, even partially, even to me, with my rather loose definitions of fetus versus child, that's a baby. I hope that the mothers were deceived, somehow and that they were not aware what they were signing up for. (I don't quite see how, but hey, I can hope.) it's bad enough to have one person that could be capable of doing this, but how did he find an entire office staff that supported and assisted him in doing this?
Sorry, my aunt and I were discussing this case on the phone just after I saw it here. She was offered the opportunity to work in an abortion clinic and being just out of nursing school, she took the job. But even with as badly as she needed the job, she was vigilant about keeping an eye on things, like the training of the other staff, the amounts of drugs given, and the cleanliness of the facility. She was never comfortable with it, but she had her own family to feed. This shocked her and brought her to tears, and she has worked at a facility that almost exclusively catered to abortions. (Although it was up to code and met every standard.)
I'm sorry for rambling, but this is not the kind of thing that you can expect to read about in the U.S. We shouldn't be reading about it anywhere, but you really don't expect it in a major US metropolis.
