“There are a lot of people who love us, but don’t want to do [abortions] themselves… They’re certainly happy that I’m well trained, but they don’t want to get their hands dirty – and that’s okay.”
Late-term Abortionist Paul Temple
Carole Joffe. Doctors of Conscience: the Struggle to Provide Abortion before and after Roe Versus Wade (Boston, Massachusetts: Beacon press, 1995) 158
This quote offers insight on why there are so few abortion providers – many OB/GYN’s (and others– Roe V Wade did not specify that abortions have to be performed by OB/GYN’s who are trained, anyone can technically do them, as long as they have a medical license or nursing degree)many people do not want to get their “hands dirty” with abortion, especially late-term abortion.
