Standing UpI met this gynecologist who told me that when she was finishing up medical school she had to decide whether or not she would perform abortions. She said it was a decision which occupied her mind for months and months. In the end she decided she had to answer yes because if she was going to expect ANYONE to perform abortions, then she had to. Otherwise she would be a coward and a hypocrite. She had to take responsibility no matter how uncomfortable it made her feel. Standing up for what you believe in, really standing up in spite of any obstacles,is hard. How many of us really ever get our ethics tested in this way? Honestly, how many of us would really pass this test? I hope I would, but I'm not sure, but I will keep hoping. Maybe if I hope strongly enough I will pass this test if ever I get the opportunity...
