This will be the face of abortion,

if the In Sorrow Shalt Thou Bring Forth Children crowd gets their way.

This way to the back-alley hack performing illegal abortions.

Keep abortion safe and legal.

Yep.

And the head nurse who approved it was excommunicated, if I recall.

Apparently the theologically correct thing to do would have been to let mother and fetus die together.

Yum.

Increasing religious control of medical services is a serious concern for women's health, safety, and happiness.
