Medical school asst. professor Jeffrey L. Johnson of The University of Southern California School of Medicine:
“The majority of people going into medicine are trained not to make moral judgments as to whether abortion is right or wrong, they are trained to avoid such moral judgments. This assists in dehumanizing the unborn, because people have never been expected to make a rigorous moral evaluation about them. Most people who go through medical school have not had their moral learning and capacity for ethical reflection keep pace with their medical and scientific training.”
