...women's clinic) belies their words. Both the president of Feminists for Life Serring M. Foster and Dr. Bernard Nathanson called killers like Hill mentally insane, although Hill and others are on death row, not in mental health facilities.

Moreover, the organization claims that Nathanson quotes inaccurate statistics, misuses medical sources and even accelerates the ultrasound video to make the fetus look more traumatized than...
