A pro-choice author who works in an abortion clinic quotes South African abortionist Dr. Janet Cole saying:
“I am quite a practical person and [abortions] need to be done. There is no doubt about it. I won’t even debate the ethics of abortion; I won’t even debate when does life begin and all the rest of it…
For me, it’s a completely pragmatic thing. As a healthcare professional with a particular interest in women’s health, it is essential.”
The pro-abortion author responds:
“Access to sensitive services like abortion could be drastically improved if more health providers felt the obligation Dr. Cole expresses to contribute to women’s health in that particular way, either directly providing services or being an advocate for the liberalization of abortion laws.”

Are patients really served when doctors refuse to consider the morality of their actions? This doctor seems to have no moral compass and no concern with what’s right or wrong.
