Native American abortion worker compares abortion to abandoning an infant to be eaten by a wild animal

Nov 13, 2018

By Sarah Terzo

Samara Azam—Yu, director of Access Women’s Health Justice in Oakland, California, an organization that raises funds for women who can’t afford to have abortions:

“There’s a Native American nurse at an abortion clinic in San Francisco who put it this way. She said, “If you have twins and it’s a bad year, you have to put one in the badger hole.”

She compares abortion to abandoning an infant to be eaten by a wild animal.
