"Dr Gossner was probably counting on them being afraid to go to the law if they were mistreated." That is actually where my thoughts were; that he was able to do this so long because the patients knew it was illegal, and so wouldn't report.
I think also that his helpers got blase about how they'd assisted in procedures, and started thinking they could do it all on their own, without medical supervision.
While at the YMCA tonight, I saw on CNN that a Republican Congressman is trying to make it illegal for any federal funding or insurance to go towards any abortion, ever, and is trying to get some kind of inquiry going to see whether Gossner got any federal funding ever, so you are so right about the antis using this for their agenda.
It's too bad the antis don't see that by doing so, they create even more Gossners.
