pereginr8 quoted, they maintain that intact D&E is sometimes the best and most appropriate procedure to preserve a woman's health. They provide no detail or medical rationale, but they'd certainly know more than I about it. I do not understand, for example, why non-intact D&E (didn't they used to call this D&C, dilation and curettage?) or lethal injection prior to D&E are not alternatives. Anyone know?
