Lest You Forget
Why it is Important to Use Your Right to Vote to Vote Choice

“I am a physician, but I am not a gynecologist, only an internist and nephrologist. While in medical school (Columbia 1965-1969) I became aware of the need for safe, sterile termination of pregnancy. As a senior student, I covered the acute gynecology service at night and saw a number of young women die horribly from the complications of illegal abortion. I watched, helpless, along with my resident, while these women succumbed to seizures, septic shock, and tetanus. I hope I never have to witness such torture again. One of my OB-GYN professors, Dr. Hall, challenged the archaic state laws and actually terminated some pregnancies: such was Columbia’s prestige that the DA refused to indict him. But until that law was changed, very few women had any choice, and many of them went to back-alley butchers.That’s why I’m pro-choice.” Eastchester, NY
