From a pro-choice author who interviewed dozens of abortionists for her book:
“As I have argued, it would be a mistake to overestimate the influence of antiabortionists in explaining the provider shortage, and thereby to overlook other factors, such as the long-standing ambivalence of the medical establishment toward abortion.”
Carole Joffe. Doctors of Conscience: the Struggle to Provide Abortion before and after Roe Versus Wade (Boston, Massachusetts: Beacon press, 1995) page 187
The medical community is deeply ambivalent about abortion, because, perhaps due to their medical training. Doctors may intuitively know that abortion kills babies. All the Embryology textbooks say that life begins at conception. That is why there is so much stigma attached to abortion and abortion providers.
