I have become more and more confrontational over the years because the quiet message has not worked. People need to know what a partial birth abortion entails but when I ask people who are on-side they still do not know.

The freedom to practice medicine according to our conscience is under threat.

There are those that actively promote the view that doctors not prepared to offer legally permitted care because it conflicts with their values should not be doctors.
