They said it.
“It’s not that obvious to some black women that abortion is the right decision. It’s only later on that poor or black women realize they don’t want more children tying them down. They need more pressure to abort.”
Abortion advocate Michael Bracken quoted in The Ambivalence of Abortion by Linda Bird Francke (New York: Laurel) 1982 p 70
Share on FacebookOne doctor, Edward Allred, who runs a chain of abortion clinics (learn more about him and his clinics here) has been quoted expressing some racist views about his Hispanic and African American patients:
“Population control is too important to be stopped by some right wing pro-life types. Take the new influx of Hispanic immigrants. Their lack of respect for democracy and social order is frightening. I hope I can do something to stem that tide; I’d set up a clinic in Mexico for free if I could … When a sullen black woman of 17 or 18 can decide to have a baby and get welfare and food stamps and become a burden to all of us, it’s time to stop. In parts of South Los Angeles, having babies for welfare is the only industry these people have.”
It is easy to imagine that this disdain may influence the quality of care that minority patients receive at his facilities.

Share on FacebookAn abortionist, one who has performed abortions for many years, said the following in a book by Miriam Claire:
“I’m sure there have been doctors involved in performing abortions who have hated women….If you felt at all sadistic about women, this was an area where you had them completely in your power.”
Quoted in Miriam Claire The Abortion Dilemma: Personal Views on a Public Issue. (Insight Books: New York) 1995 p 128-130

In a rare moment of candor, a troubled abortionist admitted the following in a telephone call to a radio show:
“The first time, I felt like a murderer, but I did it again and again and again, and now, 20 years later, I am facing what happened to me as a doctor and as a human being. Sure, I got hard. Sure, the money was important. And oh, it was an easy thing, once I had taken the step, to see the women as animals and the babies as just tissue.”
Quoted by John Rice “The Murder of the Helpless Unborn…Abortion” Mursfreeboro, TN Sword of the Lord Publishers, p 31.
Share on FacebookFormer clinic worker Joy Davis described what it was like working for a particular abortionist
“I was very uncomfortable around Dr. P, so I decided not to work for him any longer. He invited me to go out to dinner with him to discuss it. I went to dinner with him to discuss how I felt about the way he treated his patients, and how he acted. He stated to me that he loved inflicting pain on women, which was the reason he did not use any medications for pain.”
She mentioned another doctor from Tennessee that had told her
“that he did not have any respect for women, that he never respected a woman, and that he certainly didn’t respect women that let him come in there and let him do an abortion on them.”

The LA Times reported March 22, 1992,(Patients allege gynecologist hated women) that abortionist Ivan C. Namihas might harbor a hatred of women. The article, Patients allege gynecologist hated women, presented interviews and court documents indicating that Namihas allegedly impregnated at least two of his patients, and that he reportedly told one woman, whom he treated for more than 10 years, that he became a gynecologist so he could vent his anger toward women.
A patient and temporary employee of abortionist Ivan C. Namihas, said in an affidavit that she “felt he had problems with women in general because he talked about how much he hated his mother and bad relationships he’d had with girlfriends and his wives.”
Another patient of abortionist Namihas said, “He told me the reason he became a gynecologist was because he hated women and he could use a knife to cut them.”
In the Patients allege gynecologist hated women: 3-22-1992, a former employee says abortionist Ivan C. Namihas, “seemed to get some perverse pleasure” from inflicting pain on patients and several women told grisly tales of enduring excruciating procedures without anesthesia.
Assistant US attorney Jonathan S. Shapiro said, “The term abuse of a position of trust, seems to have been coined for Dr. Ivan C. Namihas, MD. Arrogant, cruel, and greedy, he carried out a particular form of fraud against his victims.”

“Back in the good old days, honey, I could open a woman in less than a minute and a half. It was while I was working on the abortion floor that I learned that women will do whatever it takes to have an abortion.”
Finkel was later convicted of sexually abusing patients in his office.
Share on FacebookFrom Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who presided over 60,000 abortions until this pro-life conversion. When he began working at an abortion clinic that he would eventually manage, nurses and counselors told him that two abortionists on staff were:
“vicious, even sadistic with the patients… They would use unnecessarily large instruments on women with first pregnancies, or refuse to use the local anesthetic, or show the fetal tissue to the patient when she had not asked to see it. They were sometimes so impatient that they would shout at the patients if they squirmed on the table.”
