“Suppose, in the encounter between doctor and child [in an abortion], the child won half of the time, and killed the doctor in self-defense—something he would have every right to do.
“Very few doctors would perform abortions.
“They perform them now only because of their absolute power over a small, fragile, helpless victim.”
