Dr. Bernard Nathanson passed away today at the age of 84 after a long battle with cancer. His life was an amazing story of mercy and redemption.
Nathanson headed the largest abortion clinic in New York City, and admitted that he was personally responsible for over 70,000 abortions (including one on his wife). However,enough encounters of photo-images of abortions eventually led to a dramatic conversion to the pro-life movement, while still an atheist.
The rest of his life Dr. Nathanson worked tirelessly to inform people of what they were actually choosing with abortion, writing and speaking extensively, as well as producing The Silent Scream and later The Eclipse of Reason. In 1995, he became a Catholic-Christian.
Requiescat in pace, Dr. Nathanson.
