Unbelievably, before this stage of his life, Bernard Nathanson was my wife's obstetrician. He would have delivered my oldest son, but happened to be away when the time came. One of his associates did the delivery.
Needless to say, I followed his abortion career and his later recantation with much interest.
When I was in medical school in the mid 70's (sigh) you could allows identify who the OB residents were. They were the ones driving the Mercedes.
Compassion and sophistication can be lucrative.
