Politely Rude With Abby Johnson When ‘Women’s Healthcare’ Harms Women: A Nurse Exposes the Reality Inside Abortion Clinics
In this sobering episode of Politely Rude, Abby is joined by Noemi Padilla, a registered nurse with over 30 years of experience — including four years working inside a high-volume abortion clinic in Tampa, Florida.
Noemi shares her firsthand testimony of how she entered the abortion industry believing she was helping women, only to witness systemic neglect, coercion, and abuse behind closed doors. She recounts the lack of medical standards, the profit-driven culture, and the ways women were treated when no one was watching — realities she says are not isolated incidents, but widespread and protected.
This conversation explores how the abortion industry recruits, silences, and shields itself from accountability, even when women are harmed. Noemi also reflects on the moment that shattered her justifications, the guilt of complicity, and why she ultimately chose to walk away and speak out.
This episode is difficult, necessary, and deeply revealing — a testimony that has become a call for truth, accountability, and genuine care for women.
