The entire premise of the article's headline, for example, is that she violated the Hippocratic oath by performing these abortions, and yet the author doesn't seem to think this is part of it....? It makes it clear that she terribly regretted the things she felt she had to do, and yet she then co-authored articles with an abortion advocate? This seems to me to be a sign of the general incomprehensibility/irrationality of most modern pro-abortion argumentation. I agree that the article is deeply confused. The person it's profiling seems to have been pro-life in theory. However, it makes her out as if she were some kind of proponent of "reproductive rights" (the article's term). She authored two articles with Alan Guttmacher in the mid-1950s -- on trichomoniasis and yeast infections. I don't think that makes a person an abortion supporter, especially given that Guttmacher was not yet vocal about his views.
