Do we believe human beings have a right to make decisions about death and dying? Yes we do, and those decisions are made every day in every hospital.”

“Nobody wants to perform abortions after ten weeks because by then you see the features of the baby, hands, feet. It’s really barbaric. Abortions are very draining, exhausting, and heartrending.
There are a lot of tears. Sometimes patients turn on you. They say, “Let’s get out of here,” after the abortion, as if you’re some dirty person. It’s vicious.
Then you get these teenyboppers in the office who laugh their way through it. It doesn’t mean a thing to them. That bothers me…
I do them because I take the attitude that women are going to terminate babies and deserve the same kind of treatment as women who carry babies…
I’ve done a couple thousand, and it turned into a significant financial boon, but I also feel I’ve provided an important service.
The only way I can do an abortion is to consider only the woman as my patient and block out the baby…”
