Former abortionist turned pro-lifer Dr. Bernard Nathanson talks about the stigma and the negative responses of other doctors when he became an abortionist:
“I was publicly identified with a cause which in the past had been associated with the stereotypes of failed, defrocked doctors or the filthy old women in grimy kitchens or hotel rooms. Through in the radicalism of the late ‘60s abortion was crossing over into acceptability, I felt that I was being eyed with the same circumspection as one who had come down with active TB.”

There is still stigma today within the medical community towards abortionists.
