...exist, and the only way the abortion pill changes that is if doctors everywhere decide to offer it. "There are a lot of doctors who feel very strongly that women have a right to make a choice but are unwilling to wear flak jackets to work," says Dr. Diana Dell, an ob-gyn specialist at Duke University Medical Center.
