Pro-abortion activist Judith Arcana, who performed illegal abortions before Roe:
“… [W]e should never disregard the fact that being pregnant means there is a baby growing inside of a woman, a baby whose life is ended. We ought not to pretend this is not happening…. In the clinics, having an abortion is sometimes compared to going to a dentist. There is no discussion of, and no acceptance of, what is actually being done when the choice is made, when the responsibility to abort is accepted.”
