Subject: RE: BS: Roe v. Wade: Last Anniversary?
Kendall-- In my experience, it was a pretty common thing to have happen. We had files several inches thick from women who frequented some pretty nasty places, ended up pregnant, then went to DSHS and applied for medical coupons. I don't know about other states, but in Washington, medical coupons covered abortions. It was very easy to get an abortion at the expense of JQPublic---(as part of my training at the clinic, I had to go down and 'apply' to see what our clients went through. I had a green light in three business days). Part of the social dilemma, really, if they don't want women to have them, why make it so damn easy?
