It's clear that Dr. Peter Carey (James Coburn) could've done just as well as a detective as he did as a doctor.
When a young teenage socialite dies from hemoraging from a botched abortion Dr. David Tao (James Hong) is fingered. He has no advocate besides Dr. Carey and he couldn't be luckier. Dr. Carey spends the rest of the movie seeking to find the truth. What he finds is a lot more in-depth than a simple botched abortion.
Abortion is a theme, but it isn't the central theme. The movie doesn't go into long arguments for or against abortion though Dr. Tao briefly mentions his motivation for doing abortions. So, if you are a strong believer for or against it, don't shy away because of potential philosophizing about the issue. A murder mystery is what this is and a pretty good one.
