Thursday, September 26, 2002It's not the social revolution that people predicted," said Ron Fitzsimmons, the executive director of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers, which represents about 150 independent abortion clinics. "There were all these predictions that doctors would come out of the woodwork and offer it. We haven't seen it. We haven't seen people who do not do surgical abortions offer it. There were predictions that this would get the protesters away from the clinics. It hasn't panned out that way." The article points out that private physicians shy away from it because it requires three separate office visits to administer and because they have to be able to provide back-up surgical abortions if it fails. There’s another reason it hasn’t caught on amongst non-abortion providing doctors - a lot of us have moral qualms about abortion. posted by Sydney on 9/26/2002 06:55:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
