I don't dispute this but fail to see how this can be construed as evidence for the doctors acting under a profit motive. I expect the vast majority of childbirths to take place in high volume city or university hospitals, with the remainder performed by doctors who "cater to a higher paying clientele". I stand by my claim that abortion is less profitable for a doctor than childbirth. -- Tom Teixeira, Massachusetts Computer Corporation.
