Let's brainstorm the reasons why most physicians won't perform late-term abortions . . .

By Rob Vischer

Reading The Washington Post's profile of late-term abortion provider LeRoy Carhart, I was struck by this line:

Most doctors will not perform abortions beyond 22 or 24 weeks for various reasons, including legal concerns, social stigma, inadequate training or inexperience.

Lots of reasons, but one glaring omission.  I guess personal moral convictions play no role here?

How big a role it plays I don't know, but I suspect that fear of being murdered isn't completely minor, either.
