8. I think this is how a doctor would get into trouble:

A woman gets pregnant, goes through part of the state mandated routine, and has her abortion.

Later, after relatives or pressure from someone, the young woman, perhaps very religious herself, but having been desperate to end the pregnancy, accuses the doctor of not following the law. Then an anti-choice lawyer steps in and begins to sue the doctor for malpractice.

We'd like to think that every woman having an abortion is clearly pro-choice. Blogs of workers at clinics indicate this isn't so, though. "Pro-life" women get abortions, then go right back to protesting the clinics that terminated their pregnancies. They always find a way to rationalize what happened, saying something to the affect, "My need for abortion is different. Those women are just sluts."
