New York made abortion legal in 1970 – three years before Roe v. Wade. I needed a late-term abortion and I was having trouble finding a doctor but then Rachel's mother found Dr. Lowenthal. He was brusque during the consultation and examination and as he explained the procedure to my mother in an emotionless monotone she became distressed. I assured her it was my choice but at the hospital a few days later when he rolled himself into the waiting area in a wheelchair, my mother couldn't hide her apprehension
This is a raw and unfiltered description of what every woman experiences when faced with the agonizing decision of abortion and the intense fear, the physical agony, and the psychological distress, that follows an abortion that is often overlooked..
The painful procedure and the risks that came with it were exacerbated by the sadistic doctor and the reproachful nursing staff and the palpable fear at the bone-chilling realization that the doctor was operating without anesthesia
The complete documentary Through a BlueWindow can be seen on my youtube channel shellfein1. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you
