Carole Meyers OB GYN who has performed “hundreds of abortions” and worked as medical director of Planned Parenthood of Maryland:
Addressing crowd of students who had gathered to hear her speak at John Hopkins University:
“”If you are going to perform abortions, how is your family going to think about it? How will you tell your kids? What are you going to do if your church doesn’t want you to come anymore? How are you going to feel about a patient who admits she has picketed the clinic in the past? What about the woman who comes in for her third abortion and doesn’t want to hear about birth control? How are you going to feel about that? I’ll tell you how I feel. I get mad, frustrated, angry.”
((Patricia Meisol “A Hard Choice: A young medical student tries to decide if she has what it takes to join the diminishing ranks of abortion providers” Washington Post, Nov 23 2008))
Few doctors want to be abortionists. In this section, you can read about stigma and how it affects doctors.
It’s also interesting to note that this abortionist, like many others who work in clinics, gets frustrated and angry at women who have multiple abortions. If abortion is such a benign procedure, merely the removal of some products of conception and ending a pregnancy, why does it matter for woman has more than one? Why does it matter she relies on abortion instead of birth control? The truth is, the abortionist sees the little babies that were torn apart in every abortion and she or he knows the cost that these little people pay.
Many other doctors are disturbed by the act of abortion itself – pulling pieces of arms and legs off of babies or tearing them apart with the suction machine is not a very easy thing to do emotionally.
Really?
Maybe you should give a little more thought to what you're doing. Maybe even consider the babies, rather than yourself.
She can console herself thinking about the great eugenics work she is doing. You know, killing all those blacks that liberals so despise.
Doctors who took the Hippocratic oath have committed themselves to the preservation of human life, which can be traced back all the way to the moment of conception. The fact that countless abortionists today have blithely taken this oath before entering into their “medical practice” doesn’t change the historical record. For thousands of years, prevailing medical wisdom has known that abortion is a barbaric act of violence (read: murder) that kills an innocent human being. Anyone should feel bad after they’ve committed murder.
She might feel even worse after she dies...
You are referring to the old fashioned Hippocratic oath that contained the following.
“Nor shall any man’s entreaty prevail upon me to administer poison to anyone; neither will I counsel any man to do so. Moreover, I will get no sort of medicine to any pregnant woman, with a view to destroy the child”
The modern Hippocratic oath reads differently.
“I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.”
Of course she’s angry and frustrated. She’s a murderer.
Her defense was "it was just business. It does not affect my beliefs"
When your business is death, it should.
"'Business!' cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. 'Mankind was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The deals of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!'" ― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
