thank you for writing up your impressions of the vigil. I've been in so much shock around the whole thing I have't even had a reaction yet.
the highlighted bit made me cry a little. See, that's the part that I think folks on both sides miss - I think most women who choose to terminate pregnancies are perfectly aware of what a hard choice this is. And a doctor who valued the difficulty of the choice, and found ways to respectfully and compassionately hold that space of contradiction and ambivalence for women... his death is a huge loss.
