Comment on Are Religious Hospitals Denying Care to Women in Need? by Apartments Near Medical Center

Hospitals are very interested in spending to reach and sell patients who have commercial insurance. These are patients who are more willing to make their own decisions about where to go for care, and their medical reimbursement rates are the highest.

Thank you Faith Aloud for giving us a prayer for each day of this damaging campaign, aimed at harming women, clinic staff, and abortion providers.

I also have developed a counter-campaign that celebrates the history of abortion and contraception for the past 4000 years!

Thanks jonigolden and Criss for your thoughtful responses.

jonigolden: I agree that we should be open about all the different responses that women may have to the decision to end a pregnancy. And certainly, feelings of sadness and loss often accompany the decision even when a woman feels 100% certain that she is making the right decision for her life and her family. In fact, when we meet with patients at their follow-up visits, most women will say that they felt both sadness and relief after their procedures– a complex mix of emotions for sure– and something that we should all be able to acknowledge and talk about when talking about abortion.

Thanks for reading and for repsonding!

While abortion is never a “fun” choice, the action can be empowering. It can bring a huge sense of relief and peace. You’re right, we need to acknowledge this.

The tragedy is that a woman finds herself facing an unwanted pregnancy and being forced to make a choice. But the choice she makes is not a tragedy, it’s her solution.

We need to stop referring to abortion as the “sad and tragic” event, and remind people (and politicians/policy-makers) the real “sad and tragic” problem is unwanted pregnancies and the lack of education and health care that usually causes them.

While there are many positive outcomes, I think we have to be open about all aspects of abortion, including the sadness. You’re right that the language can serve to further stigmatize women who make this choice, but I believe it is also used in a critical context: the fight to keep abortion legal. You make an important point, and those who talk about the sadness should also be acknowledging the positive outcomes for women in terms of health, safety and quality of life. But I think in this polarizing debate, we can’t shy away from this common ground. And who knows? Maybe acknowledging the sadness and complex range of feelings will also help women not feel like the hard-hearted criminals the other side tries to make them out to be.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

David– in answer to your question, we offer free, comprehensive options counseling which allows women and their families or partners to come in prior to making a final decision and includes talking abortion, adoption and continuing a pregnancy to term. In addition, we talk with every patient about her decision and support network on the day of her appointment prior to her procedure.

We offer referrals for prenatal care for women who are choosing to continue their pregnancies and for women who choose adoption, we are partners with the Spence-Chapin adoption agency and our adoption specialists are able to help women create an adoption plan through Spence-Chapin or refer them to other established adoption agencies if they prefer.

Our goal is to ensure that every woman who comes through our door is able to access the care that she needs and is able to make her own best decision about her life and health.

I wonder what percent of your counseling actually deals with non-abortion alternatives? I am anti-abortion, but can almost understand if abortion seems to be the very last resort…

Personally, I don’t care about changing the law, I care about changing the hearts and minds of those who are in this predicament.

Right on. And it’s certainly not the government’s place to make these decisions either!
