From one woman who had an abortion, on the doctor who performed it:
“He delivered my daughter. I mean, how could he do both things, deliver Liza one year, and kill it [the aborted baby] the next? It was confusing. After that, I didn’t want him to be my doctor anymore. I actually changed to the nurse practitioners at the HMO.”
Rayna Rapp Testing Women, Testing the Fetus: the Social Impact of Amniocentesis in America (New York: Routledge, 1999) 238
Even though abortion was this woman’s choice, she developed negative feelings about the Doctor who performed the operation. She went so far as to switch to seeing nurse practitioners, who may even be seen as less qualified than a person with a medical degree. This shows the aversion that a lot of people have to abortionists; even those who make use of them often resent them. Perhaps this is one reason why so few people want to become abortionists, and there is such a serious shortage of abortion providers.
Other doctors have talked about on how when they become identified as abortionists, patients leave.
Pro-life women should find out if their OBGYNs perform abortions. Boycotting such doctors, and telling them why you’re boycotting them, might have an impact.
