From a doctor, writing in 1976:
“After many years working several large gynecological hospitals, I have never yet seen a woman’s life in danger, necessitating an abortion. I have seen 2 extremely sick women offered abortions because of serious heart–lung disease; both refused, and both delivered normal children, normally. When a doctor declares that the patient’s life is in danger because of a pregnancy and an associated disease, that is his clinical opinion. There is no absolute indication for a legal abortion in such circumstances.”
