An abortionist is making waves on Twitter after announcing that he is happy when patients come to him for repeat abortions<\/a>. Despite the backlash, he remains unapologetic.<\/p>\n

“Every single day, I see patients who I’ve seen before for abortion services but end up with another undesired pregnancy,” tweeted<\/a>\u00a0Joe Nelson, a fellow with Physicians for Reproductive Health. “When they come back, they are often quite embarrassed to be in that position again and are worried we might be judging them. We don’t.”<\/p>\n

While no one would hope that no doctor would judge his or her patients, joy at seeing a patient facing another unplanned pregnancy and feeling she has no option but to have an abortion is certainly an unusual reaction — yet that’s evidently how Nelson feels.<\/p>\n

“[A]s a family physician who does exclusively abortion work now, it makes my day to see a familiar face,” he continued<\/a>. “Those of us who do this work understand that this can happen to anyone at any time, and we take it as a huge compliment if you trust us with your care again.” He concluded that he “makes no apologies<\/a>” for his statements, before adding that he “would never wish an undesired pregnancy on anyone<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Live Action founder and president Lila Rose responded to Nelson’s statements on Twitter:<\/p>\n
