1. I worked in a women run/women directed clinic that did abortions

For almost five years. We would never, ever have treated a client this way! Every woman had a counselor to hold her hand and support her through the procedure. There was a comfy recovery room where women could rest until they felt capable of managing on their own (and I drove a fair number home myself, even though it was against the rules). And we were happy to give the client a complete copy of her medical records and an itemized bill. Unfortunately, we eventually went broke trying to deliver high quality medical care at low cost.

This woman ran afoul of an abortion mill. I've heard of even worse places.

Smart women with the resources can to do some research before any medical procedure. As for the poor and the terrified, they're usually the targets of the unscrupulous. At least this clinic did abortions: too many that advertise the service are fronts for the anti-choice crowd.
