Abortion Myth #2

Abortion Myth # 2:
Most pro-lifers are religious zealots.

This is another popular idea, particularly since many of the most outspoken advocates against abortion come from the Catholic Church. The first man of science who turned against abortion is Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who performed many abortions in his career before he realized that the procedure ended a human life.

Abby Johnson is another person who was so convinced that abortion was a legitimate medical procedure that she became the head of a Planned Parenthood clinic, presiding over thousands of abortions. It wasn’t religion that changed her mind, it was the observation of an actual abortion that did.

Dr. Ben Carson, who performed neuro-surgery in utero, is another witness to life. Science can be more powerful than religion in persuading the skeptical.
