This article has no references and is highly dubious in nature. It has been posted on Articles for Deletion, and will likely be dealt with there. Bumm13 05:45, 10 November 2005 (UTC) There's nothing incorrect in the assertions made here. While it does not provide references, Bumm13 could just as easily research them and see that they are correct rather than continue the wikipedia jihad against adding controversial articles.

It was rather sparse before and the deletion vote got my attention. Finding neutral sources is difficult, but hopefully I gave a variety of views on him despite the fact I'm personally Pro-Life.(Although in actuality I'm not sure how I feel on this particular Pro-Life person) Also some links and even a note that lists sources for one assertion. I wish though that I could find his birth year and also a neutral source or site. On the whole only activists on the abortion issue seem to still say anything about him.--T.

The note regarding the abortion Nathanson performed on his girlfried suggested that Nathanson might not have claimed this since from both a pro-life and pro-choice perspective it would be unethical. However in The Hand of God, Nathanson clearly says he did do the abortion. Also, the Silent Scream is not about fetal pain, so I am changing that. Niasain 06:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I didn't mean it to cast doubt on that he did it. I just wanted to mention that Pro-Choice people would often agree that doing so goes against their medical ethics as well. (I'm Pro-Life, but I believe this was listed as an NPOV violation when I edited it)--T. Anthony 10:39, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I suppose, he was born in 1926. Is he still alive?Paweł ze Szczecina 21:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
