I certainly hope so.
There are a lot of questions in this story, I hope we get the answers. And I certainly hope that this is a case of something so rare that it has never happened before and will never happen again.

I know, but unfortunately this probably won't be the last time we hear of something like this. There are hacks everywhere who are just trying to make a quick buck. Con artists. And I don't understand it, there's so much information out there, it's legal, why would someone be reduced to this?

Nobody is PRO Abortion - simply pro choice, the choice should be available should a woman find herself in any number of deplorable conditions that I am certain nobody could possibly relate to - because each story of abortion is unique.

Please do not compare intentional shooting of animals to a conflicted and hurting young woman who has to make a life changing desicion.

I doubt that many women walk into that clinic without a tear in their eye.

Thank you. This topic can get heated by I've come to respect camping so I think we're both trying to keep it civil & see eye to eye.

I've come to respect you as well, karfar
And while it may appear that prochoice and prolife are two very opposite viewpoints, I truly believe that a compromise can be acheived with dialoge and mutual understanding.

Remember the obgyn who carved his initials onto a womans belly after giving her a cesearian section? I tell you, doctors (and yes, police and lawyers) tend to cover for their own --- often until it is too late. I imagine that this is what happened here...a known bad dr that colleagues covered for one too many times.
I know that I often talk about smaller government and government intrusions into our lives but there are certain professions that make outside examination necessary. There is just too much to lose otherwise.

I'm as pro-choice as it gets, but once the baby is physically autonomous it has a "negative" right to life, pure and simple. There's no rational way you can justify this...

But this shouldn't give any credence to the prohibition mongers out there!

Here you go.....

But on Sept. 8, the day after undergoing a Caesarean section that delivered a healthy girl, Dr. Gedz held a mirror up to her stomach in a recovery room and discovered that Dr. Zarkin had carved his initials, A. Z., into her abdomen.
