What is the governing force behind the abortion industry?
A. Money. It is a very lucrative business. It is the largest unregulated industry in our nation. Most of the clinics are run in chains because it is so profitable.
Why do you refer to ``selling`` abortions?
A. The Product, abortion, is skillfully marketed and sold to the woman at crisis time in her life. She buys the product, finds it defective and wants to return it for a refund. But it is to late. Her baby is dead.
In what way is the woman deceived?
A. In two ways- the clinic personnel and the marketers must deny the personhood of the child and the pain caused by the procedure. Every woman has two question, ``Is it a baby?`` and ``Does it hurt?`` The abortionist must answer "NO." He\she must lie to secure the consent of the women and the collection of the clinic`s fee. The women were told that we were dealing with a ``product of conception`` or a ``glob of tissue.`` They were told that there would be only slight cramping ,whereas, in reality,an abortion is excruciatingly painful. I know because I had one.

What type of counseling was offered at the clinics?

A. In the clinics in which I was involved we didn`t do any real counseling . We answered only the questions the woman asked and tried not to ``rock the boat``. We did not discuss alternatives to abortion unless the woman forced us to . We sold abortions.
What method of abortion did your clinics use?
A. For the most part, the abortion industry stopped using saline and prostaglandin procedures because of the number of live births. A live birth means you let the baby die, or dispose of it some distasteful way. Most second and third trimester abortionists use the D&E (dilatation and evacuation) method. The abortionist uses large forceps to dismember the baby inside the mother's uterus and remove it in pieces. The baby must be reconstructed outside the uterus to be certain all the parts have been removed.
How did you dispose of an aborted baby?
A. In our clinics, we put them down the garbage disposal. We used the heavy duty model. Some second and third trimester babies' muscle structure is so strong that the baby will not come apart, so they must be disposed of through trash receptacles.
Abortion is supposed to be a ``safe`` experience. What complications did you witness?
A. We were doing a one-day traumatic dilatation, which a higher rate of complication. In the last 18 months I was in the business, we were completing over 500 abortions monthly and Killing or maiming one woman out of 500. Common complications that take place are perforation or tears in the uterus. Many of those result in hysterectomies. The doctor might cut or harm the urinary tract, which then requires surgical repair. A complication that is rarely publicized is the one in which the doctor perforates the uterus and pulls the bowels through the vagina, resulting i n colostomy. Some of those can be reversed, some must live with the colostomy for the remainder of their lives.
How did you keep these complications and deaths from the public?
A. The woman would be loaded into my car ( an ambulance outside an abortion clinic is terrible advertising) and transported to a hospital that would protect the doctor and the abortion clinic's reputation. The concern is not with patient only in keeping an unblemished reputation. You have a built-in cover-up with the patient's family. They are dealing with their guilt and emotions over the situation and do not want to deal with the added pressure of exposing the truth through the media.
Why did you get out of the abortion business?
A. Two things came to play at about the same time. I experienced a profoundly religious transformation-a conversion. At about the same time I was having second thoughts a Dallas television station did an expose disclosing the abortions performed at my clinic on nonpregnant women-all for money! I finally realized we weren't helping women-we were destroying them-and their children.
