Kevin Whited found an interesting news brief about Howard Dean and abortion. Dean says he never performed abortions since he was a medical doctor [Dean’s emphasis]. Kevin wonders why Dean would "intimate those who do perform abortions are not quite full medical doctors."



I have heard that most MDs look down on abortionists, considering them med-school dropouts who could not heal people. But it seems interesting that Howard Dean, who is a strong pro-abort candidate, would still be making the distinction between healers and killers. I am sure this was an unconscious connection on his part, but it is still interesting. Despite his pro-abort stance and beliefs, perhaps part of Dean still believes in his oath to "do no harm."
