Late-Term Abortions are Never Necessary: Former Abortionist

A former abortionist who is now the president elect of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists has written a persuasive discourse questioning whether late-term abortion is ever necessary. Dr. Mary L. Davenport, M.D., FACOG, observed that the executive director of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers admitted in 1997 that the vast majority of partial-birth abortions were performed on healthy mothers and babies. "Contrary to the assertion of abortion rights supporters that late-term abortion is performed for serious reasons, surveys of late abortion patients confirm that the vast majority occur because of delay in diagnosis of pregnancy. They are done for similar reasons as early abortions: relationship problems, young or old maternal age, education or financial concerns." LifeSiteNews, the report Is Late-Term Abortion Ever Necessary?
