We Go Into a Dark Room and Cry” — Midwife Breaks Her Silence | Ep 255

from The Dr Jo Show · host Dr Joanna Howe

For 14 years, Jess has worked as a midwife bringing babies into the world. Now she is exposing the horrifying reality she has witnessed inside Australian hospitals. In this interview, Jess reveals the trauma of delivering babies after late-term abortions, the pressure placed on midwives who object, and cases that have stayed with her for years — including an abortion at 39 weeks and healthy twins reportedly aborted at 32 weeks. Midwives enter this profession to protect mothers and babies, yet many are being forced into situations that leave them devastated. Australians deserve to know what is happening behind hospital doors.📲  Follow for Updates:📸  Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @drjoannahowe🐦  X/Twitter: @ProfJoannaHowe🎙️ Podcast available on all platforms: https://thedrjoshow.transistor.fm/📩 Join my weekly e-newsletter: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/join🙏 Help raise awareness of Australia’s extreme abortion laws by donating here: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/donate
