Seeing Ultrasounds Before Abortions Upset Sonographers
British authors Joanna Brien and Ida Fairbairn wrote a book called Pregnancy and Abortion Counseling.
It is essentially an abortion textbook, giving instructions to abortion workers and prospective abortion workers on how to “counsel” pregnant people. It also presents case histories of abortion patients.
In addition, the authors interviewed some abortionists and abortion workers. This is a very pro-abortion book, written specifically for those interested in providing abortions.

At one point, the authors refer to employees whose job is to do sonograms before abortions.
Referring to “the sonographer who has to date the pregnancy using ultrasound,” Brien and Fairbairn say:
She witnesses the vibrant life in the womb and knows it is to be terminated. From our meeting with women who report their conversations, this is not easy.1
These pro-abortion authors refer to the baby on the sonogram as “a vibrant life.” They admit that it is hard for a sonographer to see the baby and know the child is about to be aborted.
If a preborn baby were just tissue or nonhuman uterine matter, it would not be hard to see a pre-abortion sonogram. Do surgeons suffer emotional angst before they remove a tumor?
But seeing the baby right before he or she is killed takes an emotional toll on the sonographers. It’s a damning admission that abortion is far more significant than removing tissue.
