'We Do Abortions Here\r'
'What surprises me most about â€Å"We Do Abortions present†is the level of imagery she employs. After indication the text, I feel as if I could act on the old banality and ‘paint a picture’ of this situation abortion clinic. I can whirl in the locked glass door and check out the receptionist look at my bag skeptically. In the wait room, I check up on and assure the dysfunctional mother, or â€Å"girl with enate benignity,†yelling at her kids in the waiting room.I can see the fear the woman’s face as the ignorant, hot-headed pay back lambasts her from the adjacent chair. I feel the cutting of the metal stirrups. I hear the whirring, churning, clod of the machine. I watch the â€Å"swollen paunch sink†as the doctor moves the piping â€Å"with an efficient rhythm,†an â€Å"intent expression†on his face. I can sense the emotion of the girl whose hand I choose with one hand as I feel the â€Å"tissue†and â€Å"contents†run down into the basin I hold with the other.I see their â€Å"shakily applied eyeliner smear when they squawk†that â€Å"sharp, childish cry. †After the â€Å"dirty work on†is over, I see the â€Å"curdlike blood clots†and â€Å" lucid arm†swimming beside a hand. As it is dumped down the drain, the odor of something â€Å"rich and humid,†â€Å"hot, earthy, and moldering†fills my nostrils and hits me in the stomach. I feel like I could walk out the doors of this building with a paycheck, yet there would be a piece of me that would feel morally impoverish for what I did in the place where â€Å"They Do Abortions. â€Â\r\n'
