In his book “Abortion Practice” Warren Hern says the following:
“Abortion has been stigmatized in the medical profession. Until recently the public and large segments of the medical profession considered abortion to be an unethical medical act regardless of its legal status…Communities do not like to be reminded that abortions are occurring within their boundaries…Candor invites both criticism and harassment; very few abortion clinics or physicians providing abortion services include the word abortion in the title identifying the activity.”
Many abortion clinics, even today, are identified by euphanisms such “Women’s Clinic” “Surgery Center” “Women’s Hospital” rather than “Abortion Clinic.”
