Pro-abortion activists forced their agenda on America through the courts, not by the will of the people. Now, seeing their grasp on the courts slipping, they’re desperate. If these activists get their way, they’ll impose abortion on the entire medical community by forcing medical professionals like doctors, nurses and midwives to participate in abortion. And their voices are getting stronger. The New England Journal of Medicine published an article last year calling pro-life medical personnel “unethical.” If they can’t compel doctors to perform abortion, then they’ll require them to refer women to abortionists. I don’t believe those who’ve dedicated their lives to healing patients should be forced to choose between their careers and protecting life.
