Two abortionists quoted by Delese Wear “From Pragmatism the Politics: a Qualitative Study of Abortion Providers” Women & Health, volume 36 (4), 2002
“I don’t get to talk shop with my peers… No intelligent conversations with real smart colleagues the way most doctors get to… I don’t feel like I’m part of the medical community. I’m on my own, floating on an iceberg. I miss feeling connected.”
and
“Who would want my life? Very few would be willing to put up with the bullshit I do. It’s low prestige, medically isolated… I have no doctor friends and have very little support from the medical community.”
It is hard to be an abortion provider due to the emotional impact of the job ,. the stigma that many of them face in the medical community, and pro-life activities.
