I just wanted to say this good, compassionate and understanding Doctor do not deserve to die. This was an act of cowardice. As a woman, I appreciate being listened to, heard and respected, because I am only human and a woman. May we come to an understanding about providing safe health services for women. Some may not understand is why we need to continue to communicate and educate the world about women's needs. My sympathy and God bless. Women, First.

I'm going to say this very simply. NO ONE and/or ANY GOVERNMENT has the right to tell me what I can or cannot do with my body. I completely believe it is solely up to the individual and their beliefs. I personally do not think I would ever have an abortion but I have not been in the position to have to make that agonizing decision. NO ONE has the right to take away ANYONE'S FREEDOM to choose their path in life, I don't care what or who you believe in. This should not even be a topic in our society. Do not judge, you have not walked in the other persons shoes and we all need to respect each others right to make this very, very personal decision. Most of the self-righteous have not been affected with having to make this decision either. I suspect the situation may turn out differently if they had a daughter,grand-daughter, sister, mother or friend that needed to make this decision for what ever reason. May God help them in their selfish, horrid arrogance and ignorance.
