It really bothers me when people bring up the Gosnell case as if he is representative of all abortion providers.  Lumping him in with all abortion providers is like saying that all pediatricians are like Dr. Earl Bradley of Delaware (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Bradley) or that all plastic surgeons are like those unlicensed con artists that inject industrial-grade silicone into patients looking for a deal on plastic surgery (http://www.docshop.com/2007/10/16/why-do-americans...-to-unlicensed-plastic-surgery). Or that if we allow gay couples to marry, then we may as well also allow people to marry their pets.  It's ignorant fearmongering and appealing to people's basest emotions.  Just like serial killers and stranger abductions, these types of cases are horrifying and they make headlines. However, they are clearly not representative of all reproductive health care.  The vast majority of abortions are performed in the first trimester by trained, dedicated physicians with zero complications.  Later-term abortions make up a very small percentage of all abortions performed in the US, and they are not done just because Mom got tired of being pregnant.  I am the PP who had to end my pregnancy at 20 weeks due to an infection in my uterus.  I was induced and was in labor all day.  The contractions stopped my baby's heart and she was born sleeping.  We held her, named her, and had her baptized by the hospital chaplain.  My doctors and nurses were nothing but compassionate and sensitive to our every need.  I think if you were to talk to women who have actually been through it rather than relying on sensationalistic media articles or extremist websites, you'd hear stories similar to mine.  www.aheartbreakingchoice.com has the stories of many women like me.[/quote]
