BB made it!
Biting Beaver's account of her abortion. My favorite part:
Overall, this has been a learning experience for both of us and I can quite safely say, with complete sincerity, that anyone who says, "Women use abortion for birth control" has never, EVER had an abortion.That notion was dispelled for the complete idiocy it is within a half hour of the cramps starting. It's likely that having been through this procedure myself I will personally wring the neck of anyone who is stupid enough to suggest that particular fallacy around me ever again. I can firmly say that I do not believe that any woman uses the equivalent of a jackhammer to the guts followed by bleeding and clotting as well as no intercourse and 'light duty' for several weeks as birth control. The notion is completely absurd and it's disgusting to me that the forced birth movement has tainted abortion so much that a generally held belief is that you can have one and it's just like taking a pill or slipping on a condom.

Wow, so many thoughts brought to mind. Two stick out:
1. Four appointments to get an abortion? Is that normal, or is it just the way they have to do things in places where Planned Parenthood has to be built like a military installation?
2. Mental note: get abortion on rainy day.

I believe that with the pill abortions it does take several appointments, yes.
Definitely on the rainy day thing, especially in areas where protests are likely. Yeesh.
