I laughed when the clinic was reopened and herds of women went thundering in.
@travrois: You're denying the actual circumstances that they're put through. Even an adult woman can be coerced and exploited, you know. If your career is on the line, what "choice" do you have? Especially, when you know that you'll just be shamed for daring to stick up for yourself.
