Got this article via fax, so no link, sorry. It’s from the September 26 Medical Post. Headline: Abortion access continues to divide Canadian doctors, almost 40 per cent oppose it, but more than 80 per cent offer referrals. There’s a good section I’ll type out in full:

Meanwhile, Dr. Willi Gutowski used to support access to abortion but now thinks it should be curtailed. The retired Chilliwack, B.C., psychiatrist shared his reasoning with the Medical Post:

‘If you think about it as a scientist, instead of a politician, when you are dealing with a pregnancy you are not dealing with just a woman; you are dealing with two genetically distinct individuals. So with doctors, we are human beings, we get influenced by political things just like everybody else, and so we forget our science–that the fetus is a genetically distinct individual. We as scientists should be dealing with the science, not the politics–but it takes us a while to really think the whole thing through.‘”
