Some prominent doctors cannot understand why women do not abort their handicapped children. Dr. Cecil B. Jacobson, Chief of the Reproductive Genetics Unit of George Washington University Hospital:
“I can’t imagine any reasonably responsible person arguing against the abortion of mongols [down syndrome babies]… If we could tell what fetuses are going to be affected with cancer in their 40s and 50s, I would be for aborting them now.”
Cecil B. Jacobson, Chief, Reproductive Genetics Unit, George Washington University Hospital, Washington, D.C. Psychology Today, September 1975, page 22.
