From the Journal of Medical Ethics:
“It is clear that physically dismembering and removing the fetus is emotionally distressing for the doctor. A doctor, therefore, has to overcome an element of revulsion in order to do a late term surgical termination of pregnancy… Dismemberment of a baby so violates a general human instinct that it is morally worse than destruction of the fetus by other means.”
