An old reference but still compelling, this quote comes from a pro-choice author Magda Denes who interviewed abortionists at one abortion clinic:
“It’s not a purely altruistic aspect either. The money that’s involved is also a big factor in why to do this. And I think that most doctors who do abortions also do them for the money sake. It’s a big motive, and certainly it’s nothing to be hypocritical about.”
Magda Denes, PhD. In Necessity and Sorrow: Life and Death in an Abortion Hospital (New York: Basic Books inc) 1976, page 144
She also quotes one doctor saying:
“I practice medicine not to make a living and yet I like to make money at it. We made a lot of money in abortions. I don’t really know why I did it. I sort of fell into it…. We did set up a very good program. But then I could see from the point of view of management that they were less interested in the best program than in the best paying program. For the first two or three months I didn’t do any of the abortions…I took over gradually and work two days a week and I found that I work very hard, but it made an awful lot of money.” (P225-226)
He was the Chief of Gynecological and Obstetrical Services at the abortion clinic.
