In his article “Abortion Wars” from the Ottawa Citizen, Leonard Stern quotes Canadian physician Eloise Jones.
After having recommended some 500 abortions in the 1970s (back in the days of the hospital committees), the Canadian physician Eloise Jones once remarked, “Almost all the women applying for therapeutic abortion repeated the words,
`Oh it’s not a baby, there’s nothing formed, it’s only a blob of tissue,’ or `It’s mostly placenta — nothing much to it,’ or `I certainly don’t have any feelings for it.’ Those words imply ignorance, and constitute wishful thinking, the desire to escape reality.”
He also went to another clinic and spoke to a worker named Ms. Joan Wright after an unsuccessful attempt to interview a doctor on staff. He asked Ms. Wright:
Share on Facebook“. . . is there anyone who can talk about abortion counseling?” There was a long pause. She didn’t understand.
“Don’t you have people who explain to clients what their options are?”
“Women are considered intelligent enough to make the decisions themselves,” she snapped.
