abortionists
Fetal procedure providers
Abortionists are medical practitioners who perform abortions.
The term is technically neutral but in practice carries strong negative connotations, used almost exclusively by opponents of abortion rights to characterize doctors who provide the procedure.
Those who support abortion access typically use terms like abortion provider or simply doctor.
The protesters gathered outside the clinic to denounce the abortionist.
