Reply #30: That's right

Instead of insane asylums they prefer milling around outside women's health clinics.

I had a miscarriage about ten years ago and I needed to go in for a D&C to remove what was left. My other option was to continue hemorrhaging until my body expelled the rest on its own. I figured it was better for me physically and emotionally to have the medical procedure and begin healing. The best women's health center in the area, not surprisingly, also performed abortions. And, in fact, I was going in for a D&C that was categorized as a "therapeutic abortion."

A friend was driving me to have the procedure and we were met with some very angry people telling me I could be killing Jesus, among other things. I wanted to tell them that "Jesus" had already left the womb but if they wanted what was left, I just might be able to accomodate them but decided against it. It was my first encounter with the wackos from "Operation Rescue" crowd of religious fundamentalists who are staunchly anti-abortion. All in all it was a pretty unpleasant experience.
