I went with a friend of mine and couldn't believe the absolute filth present there. Women were laid all over the place, in every room I walked past, even in the hallways and lounge area - as soon as you got through the security guards and entrance point, and got to the heart of the action. It was not sterile at all. They were all in pain, some screaming loudly and most of them crying, some of them in a complete state of shock.. unbelievable atmosphere. I thought I had stepped into a concentration camp clinic -- that's just the feeling you get there. The staff was extremely unprofessional as well.

Aborted babies for sale
At a packed hearing on 9 March, members of a congressional committee vowed to investigate whether some companies are profiting from the sale of fetal tissue. One committee member said after the hearing that he would introduce a bill requiring researchers to report the source and cost of fetal tissue they use. But--much to the disappointment of antiabortion groups that had hoped the hearing would spark outrage over grisly tales of trade in body parts--the testimony itself turned up no persuasive evidence of wrongdoing.
At a hearing of the Commerce Committee on March 9, Members from both sides of the aisle expressed a strong commitment to fetal tissue research. However, some Members were legitimately concerned that tissue suppliers might be illegally profiting from the sale of fetal tissue. During this thorough and in-depth hearing, no evidence was produced to support the claim that fetal tissue is being sold for profit to biomedical researchers. In fact, one witness claiming to have first hand knowledge of such illegal activity was convincingly discredited. In spite of the absence of evidence for illegal fetal tissue sales, Representative Coburn introduced H.R. 3980 with the likely intent of inhibiting and defacto eliminating the use of fetal tissue for research. Most disturbing, the bill clearly targets the researchers themselves, who are not even the subject of suspected abuses.
I have been to the clinic on Spring Street in Atlanta and apart from any noticeable yelling or extreme filth, it's just as you described.

If you don't mind divulging your location, I'd be interested to find out where you saw these conditions. Country and/or state would be specific enough. Was your experience in the US?

Is it possible this sort of behavior exists in the U.S.? Yes, but due to the strong requirements that must be met to be considered a viable clinic I would strongly suggest doing a bit more research before passing judgement.

I appreciate your response and thoughts. But I haven't passed judgment that I am aware of yet. I never said anything was illegal, I only stated my opinion that it was unsanitary...

As to China, I eyewitnessed cannabalism ... The most aggregious case that I know of involved an elderly billionaire here in the U.S. who raped his granddaughter to produce a baby for his transplant needs...
What very little experience I have with the inside of abortion clinics would tend to back up the idea that they are filthy ill-staffed dangerous barbaric places.
I once pulled a live 10lb baby girl out of the trash, (it happened about 3 months ago...
I have a difficult skin condition for which the only thing that ever worked was a cream that I was told came from term babies' placentas.

I eyewitnessed cannabalism in an isolated area when I was there at the end of the cultural revolution, so I'd believe anything. They eat scorpions and all kinds of weird crap.
I once pulled a live 10lb baby girl out of the trash, (it happened about 3 months ago, she's doing very well and has been adopted by her grandmother)
I have a difficult skin condition for which the only thing that ever worked was a cream that I was told came from term babies' placentas......I'd be very surprised if there aren't a few wealthy old ladies smearing creams made of baby parts on their wrinkles for some astronomical sum somewhere.

All I've read in this thread (save for the sanity of Jazzman and BH) are myths and urban legends from the pro-life propaganda machine.
The Chinese eating babies? Aborted fetuses used for FDA approved cosmetics? This is ridiculous, and there hasn't been one bit of evidence made for it except for "My cousin's friend's uncle..."
Please people.
