I don't think that followup has ever been asked for, honestly. Most women are simply relieved that the procedure is over and they can go back to their normal lives, once the aftereffects are gone. They tend to be nervous about having an unfamiliar procedure - heck, lots of women are nervous at going to their 20th gynecological exam! Not that there is never sadness; who can help but wonder at what might have been, had the circumstances been different?
You know, I've never had a child. I've never been able to - got pregnant once, and lost it at about ten weeks. I never had the money for medical intervention of the degree necessary to even have a hope of success, either. Sometimes this knowledge, that I will never be a mother, makes my cry, even now. But I would never presume that my desire to be a mother is every woman's desire, nor that my judgment is better than another woman's judgment for what is best in her life. That is why I am pro-choice.
Thank you for a reasonable response. I will rep you.
This is a life changing decision for a woman, I would think that some type of follow-up is necessary. Do you have them return for any type of checkup or are they told to consult their own physician?
I guess I'm mystified why you'd ask what is non-profit if you already knew the answer. I don't know if the guy had an OB practice. What difference would it make to a pro-lifer if he made 1/4 of his income, or 1/2 his income, or all his income from abortions?
It was a rhetorical question.
I wonder how he was able to both bring forth life and deny it also.
Careful that you do not let your preconceived notions blind you from real questions.

Surgical abortions generally require a followup at PP; chemical (RU-486) abortions do not. Which method is used depends on how far along the pregnancy has advanced. Volunteers have nothing to do with that, needless to say. Escorting and support only.

2) Bill O'Reilly should be in jail. His numerous rants against the doctor finally got what he wanted, the man was murdered, cowardly, while at church. Church! To the many mentally ill Christo-fascist's, he is a hero. To listen to the founder of Operation Rescue call him a "mass murderer", you realize you are dealing with a very dangerous pathology.
Are YOU a Christo-fascist? If you abhor abortion and are in favor of killing all the innocent men, women and children in Iraq, YOU are a Christo-fascist
what should o'reilly be charged with? I personally don't care. dude got shot. happens all the time. people are killed over sneakers.
Then I bow to your right.
I stand for life in all forms and stages.
I have a right to this also.
BTW, did this doctor save these "lives" at no charge?
Can it be more hypocritical that you refer to the women as "lives" while you claim to stand for "life in all forms and stages". Obviously you don't consider women to be as valuable as fetuses but that's par for pro-lifers. Women don't matter it's all about the fetus.

What's the deal about doctor's charging? OB/Gyn's charge for prenatal care and delivery. Why shouldn't doctors charge for abortions?

Dr. Tiller often performed LTA's free of charge to 11-12 year old rape victims. He arranged/paid for them to get to his clinic and did the work for free.

Oh, come on now! The highlighted portion is pure bovine scatology!
