Abstract:

Approximately 5,600 women in Raleigh will have an abortion this year. Looking at the issue, doctors, nurses, patients, and administrators of the Raleigh Women’s Health Organization and the National Women’s Health Organization are interviewed. The process of an abortion is described, along with the accommodations provided to women receiving them, discussion of the reasons why women seek abortions, and the overall stress of working in abortion clinics that employees face. Problems include moral, religious, political, personal, and health reasons.
