A doctor who received medical training before Roe V Wade:
“I was taught that abortion was not only illegal but immoral, and that no self-respecting doctor who considered herself part of the medical community would perform an abortion… Abortionists were “bums”,”murderers”, real “lowlifes”, and very inept physicians who could not make a living any other way. They were objects of contempt and scorn.”
