In his book on obstetrics and gynecology, author William Arney reveals the following:
“Some doctors refuse to do amniocentesis unless the woman is willing to commit herself, before the test is done, to an abortion in cases defective fetuses are found.”
William Arney, Power and the Profession of Obstetrics (Chicago: University of Chicago press, 1982) 183 quoted in Kathy Rudy. Beyond Pro-Life and Pro-Choice: Moral Diversity in the Abortion Debate (Boston, Massachusetts: Beacon Press, 1996) 13 (Rudy is pro-choice)
It is clear that many doctors put pressure on women to abort their disabled and imperfect babies. Read more quotes about the abortion of handicapped children here.
