Abortionist Karens Gone Wild!
In the employ of the First Presbyterian Church in Durham, N.C., Rev. Dr. Rebecca Todd Peters serves as a vocal champion of abortion, presenting herself as a follower of the tradition of the savior Jesus Christ, who, she claims, would have served as something called an “abortion doula” if he walked the Earth today:
If Jesus were here today, he’d be an [abortion] clinic escort, distracting women from the hatred of the protesters. Or an abortion doula, holding women’s’ hands and offering support and love as they end their pregnancies. And I expect he would have a stern word for self-righteous legislators who use abortion as a political issue rather than showing compassion for the people seeking abortion…
If Jesus were giving his sermon today, he might also have said ‘blessed are those who end pregnancies.’

Now, one might be inclined to chalk the “abortion doula” thing up to the fever-dream of a lone diehard Social Justice™ priestess who somehow wormed her way into the clergy of some obscure cult masquerading as a deconstructionist “church.”
I certainly did.
Still, I wanted to explore whatever, if any, other references to the term exist out there in the ether, so I looked into it.
Lo and behold, “abortion doula” is, in fact, a real profession, conjured from nothingness by the abortion industry.
The abortion doula, in order to provide an “added level of care” to the woman killing her unborn child, “provides physical and emotional support to a patient during their abortion process.”
Via Planned Parenthood (emphasis added):
Typically, when someone hears of a doula, they think of birthing, and that's absolutely one of the biggest use cases. But there's also been a movement the past several years around full-spectrum doulas, and so you'll see folks providing this service not only during the birthing process, but during pregnancy loss and during abortion care.
An abortion doula provides physical and emotional support to a patient during their abortion process. It's an added level of care outside of the actual medical care where providers are attuning to whatever the patients' needs are, to make them as comfortable as possible during the process. That can look like making sure they're warm enough or making sure that they have food or drinks or just whatever is going to make them feel supported. The doula can step in and advocate for the patient and offer the patient options. This also looks like some level of physical support with breathing exercises or visualization exercises to help take the patient's mind off any pain or discomfort that they may be experiencing because, sadly, with any medical procedure, there can be some level of discomfort. The abortion doula is there to really walk them through that.
And then there's also the trauma-informed care piece and emotional support that comes along with abortion doula work. Many of our patients, and people in general, have experiences of trauma. Our providers strive to create a safe environment, avoid triggering past traumas, and take into account each patient’s prior experiences. Really, the abortion doula training is formalized education on how to address any needs or difficult emotions that might come up during the abortion process. I want to acknowledge not everyone experiences difficult emotions, but for some folks — they absolutely do. And we want to validate those feelings, let them know that we're here to support them, and take the patients' lead for whatever is going to work best for them.

Now, before you deplorable bigots jump to any hasty conclusions, like that “abortion doulas” might be literal demons from hell, consider that depriving “pregnant people of color” access to this critical, sacred and noble profession, Planned Parenthood admonishes, would be both racist and transphobic:
Doula work, in general, is incredibly important to communities that have historically been marginalized, so pregnant people of color, trans and non-binary people — when they have someone there to provide that additional layer of support, the physical and emotional outcomes can be so much better because they oftentimes experience biases in health care.
