Abortion doctor admits he regretted decision to abort his child

In March 1983, OB-GYN and former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson sat down with Canada’s notorious abortionist Henry Morgentaler who helped overturn Canada’s abortion law, to discuss complex issues surrounding abortion on CHCH’s television program “Cherington”.

In a clip of the show posted below, Morgentaler who died recently shatters the pro-“choice” perception that women do not regret their abortions.

Morgentaler tells Nathanson, “I’ll make a confession to you, when I was a medical student in Montreal, I had one girl already which was two years old, and my wife got pregnant while I was a medical student, a poor medical student, and we decided that she should have an abortion. And she did have an abortion under very sordid conditions. Fortunately, it was done by a doctor. Now we regretted that but it was the right decision.“

Nathanson then asked the abortionist to elaborate on the statement that he regretted the abortion.

Morgantaler responded, “Many women do regret the fact that unfortunately the context of the situation is such that at this point in time we cannot provide the mothering and care which a child needs.”

Morgantaler agreed with the panel that there was a lot of sorrow attached to abortion and that it is not a happy decision for the woman.

This is a doctor? Most doctors don’t speak in such an awkward and illiterate fashion. Thinking this guy couldn’t hack it as a real doctor.

Imagine how much his second child regretted it.

Regret it? His second child is in Heaven. He is not if he did not confess his sins.

A noble profession. Odd to think he got rid of his own child to take care of other people.

Henry Morgentaler died in 2013 and is well known in Canada for being the face of the abortion industry. As a side-note, he got an Order of Canada in 2008 for his ‘contribution to Canada’... unbelievable and I’m waiting for someone in the future who is awarded an Order of Canada to refuse it on the grounds that she/he wouldn’t want to be a member of any group that had Mortgentaler in its membership. I’m sure that this piece of news about his wife’s abortion is the first that most Canadians have heard of it.

abortion, we are condescendingly told by the left, is like any other medical procedure.

if true, who ever regrets removing a cancerous part of an organ?

who regrets removing foreign objects from their body?

nobody does. only abortions that destroy another person, cause regret.
