[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:09 LIVID here.  Yes,the story is true, at least that is the exact story that my friend told me.  Do I know for certain that she did an exhaustive search in VA?  No, I know that her OB wouldn't do it and told her that none of the doctors in the practice would either because she was past 20 weeks of gestation.  They suggested she go into DC.

As to your question is the anti-abortion lobby so powerful in VA?  The personhood amendment has passed in the VA house and the ultrasound law will soon by on the way to the governor's desk.

As far as insurance goes, there are things that I don't necessarily want to pay for.  Insulin and other meds for obese type 2 diabetes, lung cancer treatments for smokers.  I'm not saying that I actually object to these treatments, but you get the idea.  Insurance is a collective.  You pay in and are guaranteed certain coverage regardless of whether you use it or not.  Your rates may go up because your neighbor has lots of health issues, but I don't get to choose which health issues of my neighbor gets covered.  The same issue with our taxes.  I pay in but I don't get to choose where my money goes.

PP, thanks for the shout out.  I'm not that special.  I got caught in an unfair situation and decided to do something about it.   I continue to volunteer in this area because I feel passionately about women's reproductive rights.  [/quote]

I'm surprised to learn that such an involved person in this matter you didn't know that after 20 weeks, in VA at least, you must deliver the baby instead of getting a D&C.[/quote]

Where does she say she didn't know?  [/quote]
