Dr. William Rashbaum, late term abortionist: “I enjoy what I do.”
Clinic Quotes ^ | March 16, 2014 | Sarah Terzo

Dr. William Rashbaum, now deceased, was profiled in a 2003 article. At the time the article was written, he had performed over 21,000 late-term abortions. The article says of Raushbaum:

TRAINED IN an era when doctors were considered gods, Rashbaum is gruff, confrontational, and downright abrasive. He flaunts medical conventions at will, rankling nurses and orderlies, if it serves his needs. When the orderlies take too long preparing his operating room between procedures, he goes in and embarrasses them into efficiency by helping to clean up. He boasts, “They turn my room over much faster than any other room.” First- and second-year OB/GYN residents dread his cases. “It was always a fight about who had to do them,” says a former intern.

Cases such as his are certainly the most technically difficult of all abortions. As pregnancy moves closer to 24 weeks (the upper legal limit in most states, with rare exceptions made to preserve a woman’s life or health), the risk to the patient increases, even with the preferred method for second-trimester abortions — dilation and evacuation, or D&E for short. During the procedure, in which both vacuum and surgical instruments are used, the fetus is either removed in pieces or delivered more or less intact. In the operating room, Rashbaum readily yells at the top of his lungs at residents working with forceps inside a woman’s uterus, where he can’t see what they’re doing, to make sure they are as nervous as he is. “It’s not the best way to teach,” he admits. “Calm, cool, collected is better, but a tough screaming is not ineffective.”

The article also quotes Raushbaum as saying:

“As long as I can make a contribution, I enjoy what I do.”

The article also says:

He has trained close to 100 doctors to do D&Es, some of whom have gone on to train others

I'm sure that disparity has been cleared up now.

I’m sure he’s enjoying his eternal retirement in warmer climes.

Reminds me of a crass joke when we were kids about What’s more fun than nailing babies to the wall. Who knew somebody would like it so much he made a career out of it.

The guy running Auschwitz would have probably said the same thing had one asked him.

They drank lots of vodka. I read about it. They could not stand their jobs.

Rudolf Hoess the Auschwitz Kommandant actually was shocked when he first witnessed a mass gassing of Jews, when he noticed that most of the victims looked fairly ‘Aryan’, and not like the hook-nosed stereotypes portrayed in Nazi Propaganda.

Don’t know if this is true but was told a lot of Jewish blonde hair blue eyed babies/toddlers where spared death because of their looks. What happened to them? Not sure. But was told the Nazies took pity on them. Let them live.
