<\/div>

In the recent feature article in the Atlantic spotlighting<\/a> late-term abortionist Warren Hern, Hern and writer Elaine Godfrey dehumanized preborn children by likening them to “clots of phlegm<\/a>” and saying a preborn child isn’t alive until he or she is born<\/em> (a complete falsehood, scientifically). In the same article, Hern complained about being called an “abortionist,” and says he receives a lack of respect from the medical industry.<\/p>\n

According to Godfrey, Hern is very specific about what he \u2014 as a practitioner who kills preborn human beings for a living \u2014\u00a0prefers to be called.<\/p>\n

“Hern bristles at the label abortion doctor,” she wrote. “Too simplistic, he says. He will correct you if you use it. He is a physician, he says, who happens to specialize in abortion. Worse still is abortionist. He remains angry about a 2009 story in Esquire in which the author referred to him that way, again and again. It\u2019s a pejorative, Hern says. He is more than his profession, he needs you to know.”<\/p>\n

It’s an interesting complaint, coming from someone who notoriously called human beings a “planetary cancer<\/a>.” And though Hern calls himself a “physician who happens to specialize in abortion,” that would \u2014 by medical standards \u2014 make him an abortionist. After all, other doctors, who practice legitimate medicine, are defined in this exact way: cardiologist<\/em>, neurologist<\/em>, neonatologist<\/em>, gynecologist<\/em>. So how is abortionist<\/em> a pejorative, or a slur, when the others are not?<\/p>\n

In reality, the issue is in the fact that Hern isn’t specializing in healing<\/em> an organ or body system or disease, but in killing<\/em> distinct human beings who are developing in their mother’s wombs.<\/p>\n

Later, Hern complained about how difficult it is to find someone willing to replace him; at 84, he’s still committing abortions, which one anonymous physician criticized to Godfrey, saying, \u201cBeing 84 and doing procedures is problematic.” Yet Hern, Godfrey said, is hard to please.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to find the right people, train them, get them to know what needs to be done,\u201d he said. \u201cFinding physicians willing to do this work \u2014 who will do it well, do it carefully \u2014 is difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whatever Hern’s standards might be, it’s not surprising that it’s hard to find doctors willing to replace him in his line of work: intentionally taking the lives of preborn human beings. He previously complained about a lack of respect<\/a> in the medical industry, saying:<\/p>\n

Increasingly, doctors have been made to feel irrelevant. Feminist abortion clinics treat doctors like technicians and are especially contemptuous of male physicians. Entrepreneurs who treat abortion strictly as a retail business also tend to treat doctors as technicians. Doctors who perform abortions have usually acquiesced in these roles, and their status has plummeted lower than that of physicians who do insurance company examinations.<\/em><\/p>\n

He’s far from alone. Many abortionists have complained of feeling disrespected<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ll put it like this: Every time I walk up to the front desk and say good morning,” an Alabama abortionist said of local hospitals. “Some days no one even looks up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another late-term abortionist, Susan Robinson, said abortionists are treated like the “lowest of the low<\/a>.” A retired abortionist said the term abortionist<\/em> is considered a “dirty word<\/a>” in obstetrics, and abortion facility owners have said they are made to feel “dirty<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Of course, considering the constant lies to women<\/a>, criminal behavior<\/a>, sex abuse<\/a> cover-ups, and unregulated facilities<\/a>, it’s a wonder why abortionists like Hern think they’ve earned the right to respect within the medical industry. After all, most people become doctors because they want to save lives. Abortionists have chosen to take them.<\/p>\n
