You know, for some reason... it didn't really jump into my head that this was an abortion clinic. I guess I was thinking it was some sort of morning-after pill even though I read the article (WTF at my brain today, honestly), and now thinking about the fact that she was at an abortion clinic and a nurse handed her a pill--WTF?! Why would you take that shit?!

Anyway, sad for everyone involved.

I'm sure the nurse is a fucking wreck!

i would never take a tablet that someone handed me even if it was a nurse without finding out what it is for.

My best friend's father was killed when a nurse set his morphine drip too high after a small knee surgery (he was 41), so now I always question everything.

I think it would be very traumatizing taking a pill not knowing that soon the fetus will die. I don't see your point

Many women consult and then decide to have or not have the child. Putting her in an abortion clinic...

Im also wondering why she didnt question it. I went into the doctor for a refill of my prescription. The nurse grabbed the wrong file and took me to the 'procedure' room. I wouldnt even sit down on the table. I was all "why am I not in a regular exam room" I know I sure wouldnt swallow a pill without asking what it is for.

So to get it straight - both women were there for the intent of abortion, one was in the process, the other was just consulting.

The one who was there for the consultation for an abortion ended up taking the other lady's pills.

She should have asked what it was. And at least it wasn't someone who for sure wanted to keep their baby!

I just re-read it and I missed the part about it being an abortion clinic. Even though she only went in for a consultation she should have known it wasn't a fertility pill.
