My experience has confirmed my trust in the thoughtfulness of my patients. I know that none of them had sex with the intention of having an abortion. I know that women have abortions because they have a sense of what it is to be a good mother. I get to live my ideals daily. Liz had little tolerance for those who harass women and try to hinder their access to reproductive health care.
Many people use abortion to judge women, invoking good and evil, life and murder.
Nobody has avoided an abortion by saying, I don t believe in abortion. Knowing what does cause abortion helps. Sperm cause abortion. Women s self-perceived weakness and related unhealthy behaviors cause abortion. My job as doctor is to help my patients change unhealthy behaviors.
