[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most serious charge isn't getting as much attention, that one of the two girls did not want the abortion and that she was coerced.

ABORTION IS MAJOR SURGERY.

No, it is not.  In many cases it is not even surgery at all; it is medicine.  For *surgical* first trimester abortions, it is a minor procedure.  It does not typically involve anesthesia beyond twilight sedation.  A colonoscopy is more involved, requiring general anesthesia typically.  A root canal takes 10 times as long.  I've known women to go back to work that afternoon; not comfortably or ideally, as there is some bleeding/discharge afterward typically, but it's doable.  It's not major surgery by any stretch.

That said, I wouldn't want my child to have one without me knowing...but if my stepchild who is all grown now did not feel like she could come to me or her mom or dad in HS when she got pregnant, I would be very grateful for the kindness and care of a trusted, safe adult who could help her through it.  I would be grateful she was not totally alone and that there was a dedicated enough school staff member who'd go out of her way to help. [/quote]

The girl was 5 months pregnant. I’ve had a d&e at 5 months. It is major surgery and required general anesthesia and follow up appointments. You just don’t know what you’re talking about.[/quote]
