1. What are the alternate procedures?

I'm a strong supporter of Roe v Wade, but I have to tell you, I was about 12-13, home alone, and our dog went into labor. She was having a very difficult time. When my parents came home, we called our vet and took ur dog right in. Now, this dog was my grandmother's dog that we took when Gram died. The dog was about 8 yo. The vey said the puppy was way too big for her to deliver naturally. We had two choices: Cesarean if we wanted the pup, or abort it. Dad said the best would be to abort because Cindy might not have done well in surgery. We stayed while the vet performed the abortion. He too used forceps. It was a horrible experience for me to see. Literally pulling pieces of that puppy out one at a time. I've never forgotten how awful it was.

If there are alternate methods for human abortion, it sure sounds preferable to me.
