He has done around 400 late term abortions for medical reasons.
If the other 59600 abortions were done for personal reasons (of the parents), I don't think that's anyones business but those of the (would be) parents.
I don't think anyone makes this decision light-hearted, because if it's not for medical reasons, you know your baby would live if you didn't abort. Given that, I still think it's better to have the choice of having an abortion done by a professional than having to either do it illegally by someone who probably isn't even a doctor or giving birth and then giving the child away (which is a choice that is available right now too).
I think the reason why the doctor can talk the way he does, is because if he had any doubts about what he is doing he'd probably not be in this business, or have to cope with severe stress.
