Just
a note of support. I'm hopefully past the stage of life when I'll require
abortion services, but I am happy to know that the resources are available
on the Internet for younger women to know where to turn for safe legal
services. I know that having a web site dealing with this issue may bring
you plenty of negative mail so I thought I would add a positive note. Keep
up the good work!..... K.F.
I
give you a lot
of credit for going online. I hope you do not encounter the folks who seem
to jam the sites that discuss this issue. Good luck and keep up the good
work..... J.L.
You
done good! This is great! I'm sure it took alot of time and effort, but
I bet you'll find it's worth it. This kind of thing should be published
everywhere...people need access to this information alot. Keep it up.....in
feminist pride,..... David
Just
a quick note to say thank you for your feedback with regard the reputations
and recommendations of abortion clinics in the Atlanta area. I deeply appreciate
your taking the time to respond with what I consider to be very valuable
advice and information. My most sincere thanks to you!..... J.B.W.
Thanks
alot for this great website! It's really good to see you doing this service
boldly and without apology. Keep it up!..... Douglas Giles, President,
The Keeping Watch Coalition, Public Think Tank and Activist Network
I
am glad to finally
see a web page devoted to informing women about abortions. I wish that
this had been available to me before my abortion 3 years ago. Thank you
for showing the courage to host this page. I wish more people had the courage
to bring this procedure out of the closet and into the mainstream. Sincerely,.....
Kate, St. Louis, MO
I
just wanted to
take a minute to express my support in what you are providing by keeping
this site updated. Although I have never had to face the difficult question
of an unplanned pregnancy, I am really glad to have a CHOICE in the matter.
Way to go!!..... California Lutheran University student
Good
for you for providing this needed information..... L.P.
I
am quite sure you have had really horrible letters from all sorts of sickos
but I just would like to thank you for being brave enough to even host
a place like this. I wish you godspeed and all the best..... The Hectic
Woman.
I
am 26, and never
had this kind of information when I was a kid experimenting for the first
time. I am so glad to see this. If you need any help in further ventures,
please contact me..... S.B.
Hi.
I'm doing a report for school, and even though I'm not interested in having
a (sic) abortion myself, I think it's great that you have this information
avalible to younge (sic) girls who need to have the facts before they make
any decisions. Thanks for the info..... Christina, 14
Your
web site, in my opinion, is one of the most valuable for woman on the web
today. It is clean (with regard to graphic use), attractive (even if I
really don't like pink), and, most important, very informative. It lets
woman know that yes they do have control over there bodies. Please keep
up the good work. It is unfortunate that you have to keep up the good fight,
too. Thank You!.... Linda
I
think it's great
offering this as a service to women. Abortion is not what I would choose
for myself, but I feel it should be an option to all women. It is not my
business what my neighbor does to her body. If abortion is what she chooses
then maybe it's best for her. A little baby should not have to suffer because
the government says women can't terminate their pregnancies. A child can
be born into a terrible life especially if it is unwanted..... Sarah.
It
was a great relief to find your pages on the internet, bravo!... The
New School.
Thanks.
These Pages are a real help for quite a lot of people. I couldn't say so
about many pages on the Internet. Thanks for your work... R.W. in Germany
I'm
just stopping by to say that I am very glad to see your web site. Your
site has helped many females in need. Keep up the good work!... A Supporter
in Washington
Just
wanted to say thanks for such a great web site. I support you 100%!...
M.Y.
Just
wanted to congratulate on the site... Tony O'Brien, Executive Director,
Irish Family Planning Association.
I
was looking around
for information on birth control and low and behold I found your site.
Great work! I am amazed with the number of people who know so little about
the workings of their own repoductive system, let alone birth control.
Perhaps, with this type of instant information on the Web, a few more people
will be able to get a better education regarding major factors that impact
their lives... J.A.
Hi
my name is Erica. I am 15 years old and I already know that I am pro-choice.
I definitly (sic) know that if a baby is unwanted then abortion should
be available. I tell my teachers my views and they sometimes disagree but
I know that I support it. If I ever got into trouble I should be glad to
know that I have a back up plan... Love Erica
This
really good info on your reproductive services abortion clinics. It has
helped me a lot. Please put something in here for the support of husbands,
boyfriends and lovers are haveing a hard time w/this also.
I
am just writing
to sincearly thank you for the information which you provided. I am a 21
year old college student who recently awoke to find my room mate who is
a male about to rape me in my sleep. There was no penitrarion and he was
mearly up against my back. I however have been terrified that I was pregnant.
My mensturual cycle is never regular and this month I am 2 1/2 weeks late.
I have been making myself sick with fear and have spent many sleepless
nights looking for web pages where I could find information on what kind
of risk factor was present for me being pregnant. Tonight I came apon your
page and it has put my mind at ease....for once someone has published a
page with all the facts and with out a bias. Thank you...you will never
know how much finding this page has meant to me....for once I shall rest
easy..thank you.... Sincerely
This
is a very informative and well created web site. As I waited for the browser
to get pictures I scrolled down and read everything. And for pictures to
come in on a 14.4 modem takes a while. The info was interesting and I wasn't
bored while wating, it made the time pass quickly. congratulations on a
job well done!... Sincerely, S.K.
Just
a note to let you know how important these pages are. Last year, I found
out I was 20 weeks pregnant during a routine physical. I had displayed
no symptoms. For reasons too numerous to list, I wanted to terminate the
pregnancy. In Canada, this is very difficult after 19 weeks. Realizing
that my time was running out, I made an appointment at the Cedar River
Clinic in Renton, WA. I was treated with the utmost respect and professionalism
by all staff there. They made the experience almost pleasant, very informative,
not glossing anything over, but expaining every procedure in detail. Honestly,
if it had not been for this service, I would have seriously considered
any other options, perhaps even illegal abortion, maybe even suicide. It's
been over a year now and my life is wonderful. I'm glad my own desperation
didn't cause me to waste it. I'm sure many other women, Canadian and American
have found themselves in similar situations. These referral pages are TRULY
life-saving.... A grateful northern neighbour.

Review:
Abortion is a volatile issue. It's difficult enough to make the decision
whether to have one; women shouldn't also have to search endlessly to get
information on procedures and clinics. Yet such material remains hard to
find--especially in nonurban areas. This site provides a free directory
on abortion and other reproductive healthcare issues, plus tons of links.
A great resource page discusses birth control and includes an online pharmacy
where you can order some of the products discussed.
