A conspiracy of silence

A British surgeon who opposed legal abortion said:

“There has been almost a conspiracy of silence and declaring its [abortion’s] risks. Unfortunately, because of emotional reactions to legal abortion, well-documented evidence from countries with vast experience of it receives little attention in either the medical or lay press. This is medically indefensible when patients suffer as a result… The termination of pregnancy is neither as simple nor safe as some of advocates of abortion on demand would have the public believe.”

John and Barbara Willke Handbook on Abortion (Cincinnati: Hayes Publishing Company, Inc., 1979) 96 quoted from Doctor Thomas Hilger’s “the Medical Hazards of Legal Induced Abortion” in Abortion and Social Justice Editor’s Thomas W Hilger’s and Dennis J Horan (New York: Sheed and Ward, 1972)
