re: #17 A Mom Anon

So why was abortion taken out of the hospital setting and mostly relegated to stand alone clinics? IMO, this may have been the thing that made the anti choice movement’s mission lots easier. There are women’s centers in nearly every major hospital, I don’t get the need to relegate abortion(but no other proceedure related to women’s health)to strictly clinics for the most part.

The procedure, at least during the first trimester, is not complicated and performing it in a clinic rather than in a full hospital setting is a way to keep costs down, especially since many insurance plans do not cover it.
