These are the stories (modified for privacy) remembered by a nurse who worked in an abortion clinic. These are the things that stuck with her for years after she left. The heartache, the laughter, the shock, the nausea, the satisfaction. She has stories of patients, staff, parents, protesters, and herself. It's not raw...there are years between the events and the writing, but in some ways it's even more striking because of that. The details might be fuzzy, deliberately or through the filter of time, but the emotions are still there. This won't change anyone's mind on the subject, but it gives a lot more nuance to the conversation, and might help answer "how could you do/think that?"
