There is an interesting article in the June 2008 edition of SELF magazine. It is titled ""When there is no good choice" and it is written by Jennifer Wolff-Perrine. The article profiles three women who were each given a poor prenatal diagnosis during their pregnancy. Two of the three decided to terminate, one chose to carry to term and pursue hospice care.
The article's main focus was the recent ban on the D&X procedure and how that is tying the hands of doctors in being able to care for their patients. Many doctors are now afraid of "big brother" looking over their shoulder every time they assist a woman in terminating a pregnancy. It's gotten to the point where doctors are choosing to protect themselves (by not providing abortion services) rather than do everything possible to help their patients. Sad. :(
All in all, it was a very well researched and and well written article. Kudos to the writer for being brave enough to tackle such a prickly topic.
