The murder trial of Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell has exposed frightening corners of humanity — 30-week fetuses, jars of
baby feet, venereal disease, snipped spinal cords, a refugee drugged to
death, and unfortunately, more. Whatever the verdict, we may never
understand Gosnell’s motivation. But what of the women who streamed into
his allegedly filthy clinic for years? Who were they? Why would some of
them have been seeking such late-term abortions? Why would they put
their own lives at risk? As it happens, I think I have a pretty good
idea.
I was 21, and for nine months in the mid-1990s, I worked as a hotline counselor on the toll-free line at the National Abortion Federation, a
voluntary membership group of several hundred providers nationwide.
Overtly, the job went like this: Women called to ask for a clinic near
them, and I provided the address and phone number. Each clinic had been
vetted by a NAF inspector. The clinics I could mention were not the only
clinics out there. They met certain standards and agreed to pay a
membership fee for the referral service.
