Dr. Koop Comments on Partial Birth Abortion Veto

Dr. C. Everett Koop, who served as surgeon general in the Reagan administration but has supported several initiatives by President Clinton, says Mr. Clinton was "badly misled" in claiming that partial-birth abortion saves women's lives and fertility.

"The president was badly misled by the people who advised him when he got up before television [cameras] and said these wonderful women have had this procedure done to save their lives and their fertility. It never saves a mother's life and it may very well endanger her fertility," Dr. Koop says in an interview with James K. Glassman on the PBS program "Technopolitics."
