One doctor who performed “a small number” of abortions said the following:
“Strange as it may seem, I routinely murmur “excuse me” before I swat a fly. I can’t butcher a chicken without apologizing first. I have grieved for the cat that died beneath the wheels of my car.
Yes, I hold life sacred. But I’m also a pragmatist. I believe that the necessity of making choices forces us to view the sacredness of life as relative. That’s why I performed a small number of abortions when I was in family practice. I never did them without exploring all available options – for both the patient and myself. I also referred a few patients elsewhere for abortions I couldn’t do in good conscience.
Yet I am not pro-abortion. Nor am I against it. Anyone who is convinced of the absolute rightness of either position doesn’t fully understand the situation.”
Ted Merrill “Abortion: Extreme Views Ignore Reality” Medical Economics, July 15, 1996
Below are some pictures of abortions. Is it the pro-lifers who do not understand the situation, when they say that abortion is wrong?
