When Boyd began his first\u00a0<em>legal\u00a0<\/em>abortion business\u00a0after\u00a0<em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, he says he <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2014\/nov\/21\/us-abortion-doctors-speak-40-years?CMP=share_btn_fb\">never imagined<\/a> that, over 40 years later, abortion would remain a medical industry separated from the rest of medicine &#8211; much less one that is opposed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.humanlifereview.com\/pro-life-millennials-polls-vs-facts\/\">most Americans<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><!--more-->We thought [by now] it would be available in every family practice, that there would be no resistance.

Yes, I am. I know that.&#8221; Boyd unsurprisingly insists in his <em>Guardian<\/em> interview that this statement was taken out of context, yet Boyd is just\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/clinicquotes.com\/abortionist-we-know-that-its-killing\/\">one in a line<\/a> of abortionists who have made similar statements.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bfWB7tcAdhw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Although Boyd <em>was<\/em> a Baptist preacher in his younger days, he now ascribes to a faith that that is less at-odds with his gruesome profession.
