An abortionist in Italy has decided to postpone his retirement as he struggles to find a doctor willing to take his place committing abortions in the region of Molise.<\/p>\n

“I have been doing this job for 40 years,” Dr. Michele Mariano, 69, told La Repubblica. “My hope is that someone will show up to continue my job.”<\/p>\n

According to the Telegraph<\/a>, Molise is an area of about 300,000 people on the east coast. Mariano is the only pro-abortion doctor in the area, working at Antonio Cardarelli hospital. He said he is simply “applying the law” when he aborts babies. In a previous interview, he admitted<\/a> to carrying out 400 abortions each year but said he is not happy to do so.<\/p>\n

“I’m a doctor and I know science,” he said. “Let us not be afraid of the truth. The fetus could become a child, how can we deny it? I don’t want backstreet abortion to return and women to die at the hands of who knows what butcher, but that doesn’t mean that I’m happy when I suppress a life.” By his own count, he has likely ended the lives of approximately 16,000 preborn children.<\/p>\n

In reality, a human zygote, embryo, and fetus are already human offspring from the moment of fertilization\u00a0\u2014 and abortion does not merely “suppress” a life, but ends it.<\/p>\n
