Women in Northern Ireland and over 70 countries with restrictions have used one of the main websites, Women on Web. -snip-Almost 11% went on to need a surgical procedure - either because the drugs had not completed the abortion or because of excessive bleeding.Almost 200 women answered questions about their experiences - 58% said they were just grateful to have been able to have had an abortion in this way, while 31% had felt stressed but found the experience acceptable.-snip- A US woman, who has a rare medical complication meaning pregnancy is life-threatening to her, described her experience when she used the website while in Thailand. "Women on Web kept in contact with me via e-mail. The medication arrived through Customs, properly blister-packed, with complete paperwork and a doctor's signature.-snip----------------------------

Just wondering...I am a committed progressive, I support Obama, I want out of Iraq, agree we need a National Health Care plan, believe that corporations need their power base curtailed, strongly oppose torture, believe global warming is a serious issue, support diplomacy over war, believe in equal pay for equal work, a strong supporter of the EEO laws and programs..etc etc...I can make a pretty long list of Democratic principles I agree with.I also believe that abortions should be rare and that an unborn child is a human person. Do you think I am insane?
