The American Medical Association supports legalized abortion, but it didn’t always.
“Physicians have now arrived at the unanimous opinion that the fetus in utero is alive from the very moment of conception… The willful killing of a human being at any stage of its existence is murder.”
Dr. Horatio Storer, Head of the American Medical Association’s Committee on Criminal Abortion.
