Abortion interviews outside Midtown Hospital
Call Number: JG/ 066Format: CassetteProducers: Judy GerberProgram: Pacifica RadioCollection: Programs produced by Judy Gerber and Laurie Simms
This is a series of interviews with different people inside and outside of an abortion clinic in Atlanta, Georgia. The clinic is called Midtown Hospital and Judy Gerber begins her interviews inside with an abortion worker who has been at the hospital for the past nine years. She talks about how the pro-life protesters are not deterring women from getting abortions, they are just making a difficult decision more uncomfortable then it need be.
Next Judy goes outside and talks to a handful of pro-life and pro-choice people outside. The pro-life organization protesting outside are known as Operation Rescue. Underneath the interviews are Christian songs being sung loudly by Operation Rescue.
Many of the female pro-life protesters claim they are there because they had abortions when they were younger and now regret their decisions. Almost all of the pro-life people interviewed claim that if women knew what really happened to the fetus they may change their mind and blame the abortion clinics as spreading lies. Whereas, ironically, many of the pro-choice people interviewed claim that women have already made up their mind when they come to the clinic, and the pro-life protesters do not sway their decision, but rather they only make it more difficult to physically enter the clinic.
