Dr. Arsenault’s reasonable and logical protest that abortion is a case of doctor playing God is countered not by reason but by a humorous anecdote: style versus logic.

Well! The CMA has certainly done the “in” thing with its resolution on abortion. . . It has never been traditional or ethical to prescribe according to the demands of the patient, whether for narcotics or for euthanasia or for abortion. Minds can change, but death is final. The resolution portrays abandonment of principle, not leadership.
