EDIT
Link seems to come and go, but it was a study in the UK saying abortions are linked with a high incidence of mental disorders, and doctors are recommending counselling, before performing an abortion, to warn women of the risks.

Nice.
My mom works at a hospital, doing ultrasounds of babies, among everything else inside a human body. She's never done a scan for an abortion, but has talked to other sounders who have, as well as doctors who have.
And none of them have ever met anyone, as far as she knows, who has not regretted having the abortion. Most of the sounders even say they regret just watching it.
When they stab the "fetus" with the needle, and pump in the poison, it thrashes around violently. Just like a living thing. Until it slows down and dies. Because it used to be a living thing.
Should Roe Vs. Wade be repealed? Who knows. If it still causes this much controversy, maybe it should be looked at. Carefully considered. If there were 10 pro-life supreme court justices, who can say they would find that RVW is lawful, and they can't get rid of it.
For all anybody knows, abortion should be legal. I personally don't feel so, but many people do.
And I really hate when people make this their issue for deciding who to vote on. They just decide what whoever is pro-choice is getting their vote.
Who can say that 10 pro-choice justices wouldn't look, and find that RVW needs to be removed? It could happen.
And of all the issues going on right now, abortion really shouldn't be on anybody's radar.
There are a lot more important things to base your choice of candidate on than a supreme court ruling that really stands no chance of changing any time soon. Unless that one old justice finally gives up and dies. Forget his name, but it's about frickin' time.
As for the article, though, I also feel you should be counselled before receiving cosmetic surgery, as most people (by that, the statistics really show it's most women) have the same level if not worse of issues regarding body image, etc.
It does nothing for self-esteem, except making it worse in many cases, is the point, and doctors should have to make sure the patient knows that.
Are you really even considered a 'patient' if you've signed up for an elective surgery? I don't think that's the right word. Shouldn't be, anyway.
