Joseph Bernard Nathanson

Joseph Bernard Nathanson was an American medical doctor and former advocate for abortion rights, known for his work in promoting abortion in the 1960s and 1970s. He co-founded the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws and was involved in the early campaigns to legalize abortion in the United States. However, after experiencing personal and ideological changes, he publicly retracted his pro-abortion stance, became a critic of abortion, and dedicated his later years to promoting pro-life perspectives and moral reflections on the issue. His life exemplifies a significant transformation driven by personal, ethical, and spiritual considerations.
