British Doctor Under Investigation for Helping Patients Not to Have
Abortions

London, Nov 16, 2007 / 12:03 pm (CNA).- LifeSiteNews.com is reporting
that a well-known British doctor could be forced out of a job for
helping women decide against having an abortion. Dr. Tammie Downes is
under investigation for professional misconduct after she said in an
interview with the Daily Mail that she had been instrumental in
helping many women patients decide to continue to carry their children
to term.
In the Daily Mail interview, Dr. Downes said she asked women in crisis
pregnancies, "What would have to change to make you see things
differently? What would help you to see this baby as good news and not
bad news?"
Dr. Downes is under investigation by the General Medical Council and
may lose the right to practice medicine.
The Guardian reports that Liberal Democrat MP, Dr. Evan Harris,
Parliament's most vigorous abortion-crusader, denounced Dr. Downes to
Health Minister Dawn Primarolo and asked for an investigation.
Downes responded that she had let her personal feelings about abortion
influence her relationship with patients. She told The Observer, "I
don't try to persuade anybody. I give them the facts and allow them
space to think through the decision that they are making. It has to be
the mother's choice. I have no right to make that choice for them."
"But I do think it's my duty as a doctor to help a woman make that
choice," she added. She said that about one third of women change
their minds about abortion after seeing her.
