So you don't judge; but it's shameful.
You don't believe in abortion as birth control; but you don't oppose any form of abortion.
Frankly, it sounds like you're just rationalizing the status quo.
The problem is, at some point, it's murder. Wherever that point is - once a doctor/patient/society goes past that then condoning murder is not something to do flippantly.
This doctor is not just terminating a pregnancy, he is terminating the 'child.'
I don't have any better answers than you, but I don't have the same level of certainty about where right ends and wrong begins.
