Talk:Abortionist

Let's just pause for a minute

Shall we have a discussion rather than an edit war? --HMayo 20:14, 23 February 2008 (EST)

It is inaccurate to say that an abortionist is someone who necessarily profits from abortion. It might well usually be so but it not necessarily so. --HMayo 20:18, 23 February 2008 (EST)

It's factual. Abortion is a profitable business, and there are no volunteer abortionists.--Aschlafly 20:22, 23 February 2008 (EST)

I understand that. But it has not always been so. Abortion has a long history and the procedure has not always been in the hands of trained (and paid) medical professionals. --HMayo 20:28, 23 February 2008 (EST)

We're describing abortion today, and I don't agree with you about its history but there is no reason to waste time on it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aschlafly (talk)

Unless we want produce an accurate article. Furthermore, the fact that a person gets paid is irrelevant. Are you suggesting that every job described here should include the phrase "and profits from"? --HMayo 20:32, 23 February 2008 (EST)

Reversions

It's liberal spin to call abortionists "medical professionals." Often abortionists are people kicked off hospital staffs for incompetence, and the Hippocratic Oath prohibits abortion.--Aschlafly 21:17, 23 February 2008 (EST)

We don't censor here

Right... --HMayo 21:17, 23 February 2008 (EST)

And what about the rest of the edit that you just wiped? Why didn't you just change "medical professionals"? --HMayo 21:19, 23 February 2008 (EST)

Your other edits were also biased. You omitted the period of time or statistics about other lines of work, making your (dubious) statistic utterly meaningless.--Aschlafly 21:32, 23 February 2008 (EST)
