Former abortion provider Dr. Steven Eisinger shares his decades-long experiences in this special edition of Our Abortion Stories.
“Abortion providers are given advice on how to avoid attacks,” wrote Dr. Steven H. Eisinger, an ob-gyn for over four decades. “Drive different routes; be acutely aware of your surroundings; never stand in a window.”Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health OrganizationAbortions are sought by a wide range of people for many different reasons. There is no single story. Telling stories of then and now shows how critical abortion has been and continues to be for women and girls.
Then she said: “Doctor, do you think I should have the abortion?” I refused to answer her question directly. “The decision is yours to make, not mine,” I said. “My job here at Freedom of Choice is to give you the facts and the options. That is why we need to do the pregnancy test and the ultrasound. If you are early, you have lots of time to make up your mind and several options. If you decide to go ahead with the abortion, I will help you to the best of my ability.
After she left, my office manager shouted to me: “She was a plant! She was a right-to-lifer, and she was recording the whole thing!”I had not figured it out. The patient was trying to trap me into saying something inappropriate, like: “Of course, you should have the abortion.” We did not hear from her again. Her phone number and address turned out to be phony. She probably avoided any testing because she was not pregnant at all.
About once a year, on average, I admitted a patient through my hospital emergency department, usually for bleeding and retained POC or a fever and tenderness diagnosed as post-abortal infection. In 12 years of operation, I had to get out of my bed and go to the hospital to take care of an abortion patient with a problem on about six or seven occasions.
In the operating room, I opened her abdomen. I excised the scar on the front of the uterus where the bleeding was coming from and stitched the defect tightly. I had never seen or heard of this operation before this episode, but it seemed to work. A pathology exam confirmed that the pregnancy implantation had occurred there. She did well post-op, but I have grave misgivings about another pregnancy.
