Roe versus Wade mandated that abortion must be legal, a matter Between “a woman and her doctor”. In reality, most women barely see the doctor who performs their abortion. Often they see him for 5 min. as he suctions out their uterus, and not at all before or after. The doctor does not get to know the woman. All he sees of her is her draped body and her sexual parts exposed for him to operate on. As one abortionist says. Perhaps this explains why so many abortionists seem to show contempt for their patients, and why so many abortionists botch these procedures – they don’t care about the women the way other doctors do, doctors who get to know the woman as a whole person.
“In many clinic settings, the patient does not meet the physician until she is undressed except for an examining gown. Some physicians even require, or clinics arrange, that the patient be in a lithotomy position when the physician enters the room. This procedure does not enhance the patient’s dignity as a person, and it does not encourage recognition of the patient as a person by the physician.”
