For later-stage abortions, which require women to go under general anaesthetic, Doula Project volunteers will offer to be there not just before, but also while the woman is unconscious.
“Witnessing is a big part of what doulas do,” says Bloom. “Some people find it a great comfort to know someone they know, and who they connected with, will be there during the procedure, even if they’re asleep.”
Witnessing? In the context of an abortion, that’s like being asked to serve as a witness at an execution. I mean, what does Bloom tell the women after they wake up? “Hey, everything went great. Your baby is dead.”
