Extract
As a psychiatrist I have examined many patients who were referred for emotional or psychological assessment and, where appropriate, I have recommended that the pregnancy be terminated. . . While I am prepared to agree that in this area there may be dispute, nevertheless it is quite different from the so-called “abortion on demand”, which has no ethical medical basis. . . The solution would be to train and legalize abortionists, who would not be physicians, to perform abortion on demand, a procedure that has nothing to do with the ethical practice of medicine..
