Letter: Random thoughts on abortion attitudes

Author

Listed:
  • Solomon, K.

Abstract

Comments on a paper of physicians' attitudes toward abortion are presented. The reasons for approval of abortion which show about 80% citing medical or psychiatric and only 60% citing social reasons or a woman's right to do with her body what she wants support the belief in the sexist attitudes of physicians. Disbelief is voiced toward the 1 physician who feels a woman cannot become pregnant from incest or rape, and towards the physician who believes a woman's mental health is unthreatened by an unwanted pregnancy. The author wonders if there were differences between male and female physicians sampled.
