The doctor speaks candidly about &#8220;dedication&#8221; to his profession (i.e. regularly performing third-trimester abortions):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The obstacles only make him more committed, [Carhart] said.

As a pro-life woman &#8230;\u00a0I have grown weary of reports that present such a one-sided image of the abortion debate.<\/p>\n<p>It should not surprise anyone that the number of doctors willing to perform abortions at any gestational stage is steadily shrinking.
