IVF, Mass Production and Coercion | After Abortion: "My reflection on this problem was prompted by a call I received last year from a woman who was experiencing severe post-abortion reactions following an multi-fetal pregnancy reduction procedure. Prior to undergoing an in vitro fertilization procedure, she had told the doctor she would not agree to abortion under any circumstance and he had expressed respect for her beliefs. Despite this, he implanted several embryos with the expectation that most would not 'take.' When several of the implanted embryos did implant, he quickly began to pressure her to abort the 'extras' to avoid losing them all. Eventually the mother, who desperately wanted children and abhorred abortion, did as her doctor ordered."
