Medical school professor Dr. Russell L McIntyre:
“Once conception has occurred…. very few physicians afford the product of that conception “zero” value. It may be less valuable than other concerns surrounding the woman’s life, but it is never totally valueless. The conflict is thus between “reasonable” justification for abortion and the woman’s apparent lack of any regard for fetal life that has been begun in her. Physicians facing these “repeaters” in abortion clinics often develop the very uncomfortable feeling that their own value system has been co-opted by a valueless system.”
