No kidding! That's what I was thinking, Sins. (Doesn'tr eally matter, but I had the impression "outsider" was in the States?) Seems strange, though I suppose folks here who do not have a doctor probably do have to go to a clinic. I would hope the clinic people would be sensitive about it; I know Planned Parenthood folks would be. Thanks to both of you, guests, for posting of your experiences. Good luck!
