I think abortion procedures would be a good candidate for "required" counseling! When the patient is clearly distraught or confused about her decision,the procedure should not continue or be scheduled in the absence of counseling.In closing..I think you and I agree more than we disagree.For me this is not an anti-abortion issue,it's about what is best for the expectant mother and her mental health.
