Dr. Barry Messinger, abortionist, discusses one of the reasons why there are so few abortion providers:
“I knew that not very many of my academic colleagues were interested or willing to put time into doing abortions… I also became aware of the fact that the technique was rapidly becoming simple and one would not be able to write a lot of papers about its complexities and advances and permutations – things like that. So from that point of view, it’s not a very intellectually challenging deal… I think that limited the kind of academic people who would be interested in it.”
