1998 Conversations with a former clinic owner....
.... <<Brad: Let me ask you about your attitude and contact with the women.
Eric: I would make their appointments. I would sit and talk to them in the waiting room. I would go into the procedure rooms with them. When I first got started, I was very truly concerned about the women who were having abortions, but, as in most cases, there are two reasons why people get involved in the abortion industry. The first is money. The second is because they really feel that it's helping women. But even those people who get involved because they think it's helping women – at some point in time convert to the fact that it's all about money. So you stop looking at women after a certain point in time as being people that you're helping and you just start looking at them as dollar bills.
Brad: That's what happened to you?
Eric: Definitely. I found myself, probably the last half of the time that I was involved in the abortion industry, very depressed about it, which led to a cocaine drug addiction, and toward the very end, I think I ended up hating them.
Brad: Why was that?
Eric: I think it was because of the depression and guilt that I felt, myself, and I was blaming them for it – for coming in and having this abortion – especially the woman that you would see time and time and time again. There was one patient who came in and had 16. Even the doctors who do the abortion become hateful toward the patients – they become mean, rough.
.................hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................here is another excerpt from the conversation...wonder how this all relates....................
<<Brad: Tell us about your book.
Eric: The book I'm writing tells the story of my life in the abortion business. But it's also a tell-all book about the abortion industry itself and it also gets into the areas of my life I was involved in, which was homosexuality and how prevalent homosexuality actually is in the abortion business. "The girls do carry on," as we used to say.
Dr. W: Homosexual males or homosexual females?
Eric: Both, and I'll tell you what – the lesbians are far worse than the males. Anytime you have a feminist health care center that does abortions, they're often all lesbians. Within the abortion business itself, there's this love/hate relationship between the feminists and the abortion doctors, because the majority of the doctors are men.
Dr. W: You're doing something they want done…
Eric: But they hate you because you're a man. Over the last couple of years groups such as NOW, NARAL and The Fund no longer control the abortion industry. They did for a while, but the feminists no longer control it. What you have now is a bigger struggle going on now between them and Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is hated by any doctor or [abortion] clinic that is independently owned and operated. Their [Planned Parenthood] bread and butter is the abortions that they do. They don't do it because they care about women. That's where the majority of their money comes from. Planned Parenthood is shrewd, though, because it's easier for a politician to stand behind Planned Parenthood to support them than it is to stand behind some entrepreneurial businessman or woman who has an independent clinic. It's more socially acceptable.
Dr. W: Yes, PP has an image of doing it legitimately.
Eric: Yes, but what PP also has within the business itself is their record of being racist, squashing competition and outright lying about competition to squash them. What PP wants is a monopoly in the abortion business.
