According to one abortion doctor:
“Prior to the passing of the abortion law, I don’t think there was ever a patient came to my office in the last 10 years who wanted an abortion and couldn’t get one, if they could afford to pay for it. And a perfectly legal one. For $100 the patient went to the psychiatrist and he would say, “You’re going to kill yourself if you don’t have this abortion?” “Yes.” “Okay, goodbye.” Then he dictates a nice long letter she’s suicidal. Two psychiatrists, $200. It was a farce.”
