Dawn Eden quotes liberally from and links to a horrifying, sobering blog entry by a medical student who performed her first abortions

The emotional distance of this woman is horrifying. This is real, not an idea. This is life and death, and our chipper doctor is kinda weirded out, and manages to find much more emotional energy to spend on her dead car than on the five children, dead at her hands.

Pray for her.

And doctors wonder why we have love/hate relationships with them. You can upgrade medical education all you want, you can emphasize bedside manner and listening and all that jazz, but when this kind of attitude to human wreckage is the fruit, you have to know that something’s wrong and one more seminar isn’t going to fix it. It’s at the root.
