An abortion provider expressed his satisfaction with seeing past patients return to his clinic to have another abortion.
Joe Nelson, who describes himself as “your friendly neighborhood abortion provider” on Twitter, said it was “huge compliment” when women come back to him to perform an abortion.
“Every single day, I see patients who I’ve seen before for abortion services but end up with another undesired pregnancy,” Nelson wrote Saturday. “When they come back, they are often quite embarrassed to be in that position again and are worried we might be judging them. We don’t.

“In fact, as a family physician who does exclusively abortion work now, it makes my day to see a familiar face,” Nelson continued. “Those of us who do this work understand that this can happen to anyone at any time, and we take it as a huge compliment if you trust us with your care again.”

Nelson lashed out at pro-life advocates after his tweets gained more social media attention, calling them “part of the problem.”
Hello to the anti-abortion side of twitter. I make no apologies for caring for people in difficult situations with as much compassion as I can. Your collective blaming of women in this situation is exactly the problem I'm referring to.

From The Blaze:
Nelson seems to be erroneously conflating opposition to killing unborn babies with mistreatment or judgment of women, which is a common stance taken by pro-abortion advocates to undermine the pro-life position. He then applies that logic to reach the conclusion that supporting women means celebrating abortion, to the point where it can “make your day” to see someone having to get another one.
Millennial Millie goes into the depths of the unknown, beyond the dimensions of liberal thinking, to find out why pro-choice activists support abortion all the way up until birth.
