This is extremely tough to post but it’s tragic that many Americans don’t know the reality behind abortion procedures.
On Thursday, NPR played an abortion on air.
“NPR’s Michigan “Morning Edition” on Thursday featured Kate Wells explaining that a Michigan woman aborted her 11-week-old baby at Northland Family Planning in metro Detroit,” LifeSiteNews stated.
“Like many patients at Northland, she said I could record her procedure,” Wells, a reporter, says of the mother in the NPR segment.
“Most patients are partially awake during the procedures, they get IV medication for pain and anxiety,” the reporter continued.
“The lights are dimmed, there’s soothing music, it actually feels a lot like a childbirth, in a medical gown, your bare legs and stirrups, and a person next to you, saying, ‘You can do this.’”
Staffer Brandee can be heard telling the mother, “Just keep breathing.”

“I almost didn’t want to tweet this but it’s something everyone needs to know. NPR on the radio this morning played audio of a woman getting an abortion,” Greg Price tweeted.
“You can hear the vacuum turning on, crying, moaning, and the doctor telling her it’s done.”
“The left always talks in euphemisms when it comes to abortion. ‘Choice,’ ‘reproductive care,’ etc. But this clip puts on full display the what an abortion actually is: violence and full on dehumanization of the unborn. That’s why it’s important to share. To show reality,” Price continued.
“So listen to that audio It’s incredibly tough but it’s important. Listen to it and then think to yourself about how the only pitch the Democrat Party is making to the voters in the midterm election is more of that,” he added.

LifeSiteNews reported:
In the background, the listener can hear the vacuum aspirator machine turn on. According to an October story Wells wrote about the incident: “The machine uses gentle suction to remove” the baby “from the patient’s uterus through a thin tube.”
“Blow it out, blow it out, breath through,” Brandee tells the mother.
The listener can hear the mother moaning over and over as the vacuuming noise continues.
The noise stops.
“You did it,” someone finally tells her.
“Thank you guys so much,” the mother says weakly.
“You are welcome!” someone responds.
“You did great!” another person says cheerfully.
In her October piece for Michigan Radio, Wells notes that abortion clinics “are almost always closed to press.”
“But Michigan Radio got a rare degree of access to Northland Family Planning, a group of clinics in suburban Detroit,” she wrote. “For nine days in August and September, we shadowed a doctor and clinic staff through every step of the process.”
More than two dozen women shared their stories with Michigan Radio, Wells added.
“Northland Family Planning gives every patient numbing medication applied to the cervix, and strong pain and anxiety medications (fentanyl and midazolam) administered intravenously,” Wells wrote of the abortion clinic. “Some patients also get a cervix softener a few hours before the procedure to make dilation easier, depending on how far along their pregnancy is.”“Once a patient was fully relaxed, Lance would use a speculum to view inside the patient’s vagina, then clean the vagina and cervix with gauze and antiseptic,” she continued. “She then would dilate the cervix, while Brandee monitored the patient’s vitals.”
Kate Wells disputed on Twitter that her story was ‘pro-abortion.’
The night before her abortion, Melissa dropped her kids off w/ grandparents, drove nearly 4 hrs, and got to a hotel in MI around 3 am. She's part of the record surge of out of state patients coming to MI for abortions post-Roe. 🧵 https://t.co/NrRY6lurun

She arrived at Northland Family planning by 8 am. She sunk into the chair in their warm, sunny waiting room and started crying from exhaustion & relief. “It shouldn't be this hard,” she said, wiping away tears with the cuff of her sweatshirt.

For the patients who allowed us into their lives (and their procedures), it’s about whether they can escape an abusive partner. Or support the kids they already have. Or finish school, or keep their jobs. We're going to take you inside this clinic.

Hi Chris, thanks for your response. I have to disagree that doing a story inside an abortion clinic is somehow "pro-abortion." Abortion is on the ballot in Nov. I'd argue that getting to see what's actually happening in clinics right now isn't biased, it's factual.
