TRAP
 

I believe that it is OUTRAGEOUS to order a woman to have a totally unnecessary medical procedure. How back woods are we in Virginia?    I am not a big pro-abortion person, but I do think it is up to the woman.  None of us can put ourselves in her situation.  I also feel that women's rights are under assault, including birth control which only serves to lessens abortions.  Who would have thought that this would be happening........it is 2012, not 1912, guys.  Abortions are legal, like it or not, and women should not be punished for making a very difficult, very personal decision and prolonging the anxiety by being forced to have a medical procedure that means nothing to the health of the woman.  

Certainly, a case can be made about added medical costs, etc., but the only thing that really matters, is that it is just wrong.
