An '''abortionist''' is one who performs (and profits from) [[abortion|abortions]].  Most abortionists find that their other clients tend to begin avoiding them, so in order to maintain solvency, abortionists usually end up performing only abortions.  Like many other forms of sin, abortion ends up taking over the lives of those involved on both ends of the scalpel.

Many abortionists have relatively few qualms about [[feticide]], or the murder of a newborn, such that there are even several sets of guidelines on various "ethical" ways to engage in this practice.<ref>http://www.nuffieldbioethics.org/go/browseablepublications/criticalCareDecisionFetalNeonatalMedicine/report_542.html</ref>

Abortionists are medical doctors who have periodically been the target of violent attack and even murder. In the [[United States]] between 1993 and 1998 seven people have died as a result of such attacks, including three doctors.  This represents a far lower professional death rate than that which exists, for example, amongst lion tamers but is higher than that for ichthyologists.
