Punitive role for abortionists?

Marge Brerer in a workshop entitled “Feminist Perspectives and Reactions” a conference on RU-486:

“Abortion providers, if they are to offer women an open choice between this new method, and vacuum aspiration – and I don’t think it’s at all clear that abortion providers as a group, let alone as individuals, are going to be willing to give women an open choice – in fact, I think there’s some indication that the opposite may be the case – then they will need to explain the differences and similarities in a coherent and accurate way to women.

Women have often said that they see the provider as having a supportive role. I would like to ask whether providers will still be able to have a punitive role, if that’s the role they want to have.”
