Abortion is morally wrong

[bennyboy]

My wife recently had an abortion here in Korea. Her regular doctor wouldn't do it, because she's Christian. Although it was a little inconvenient, I completely respect the right of a doctor to decide what constitutes the greater good, or what level of harm is acceptable, etc.

Because people think differently about it.

Was your 'regular doctor' even qualified to perform abortions? OB/GYN's are the docs that perform abortions, if they have some compunction about abortion they shouldn't specialize in an area that is dedicated almost exclusively to womens' sexual health.

Her regular doctor was her OB/GYN. She had in fact performed a similar procedure before my 2nd was born due to an embryo that didn't "take." Keep in mind that Korea has laws as well to reduce/prevent selective (i.e. not medically required) abortions, which are really a euphemism for "I want a boy." But we had already been talking about how much more we could/should be doing for our already living children, and it didn't seem right to dilute our efforts even more.
