Even so, Wifemistress is thoroughly likable. The exterior photography is magnificent.

...tissues. One doctor, Arnold Bickham of the Water Tower Reproductive Center, went from one abortion to the next without washing his hands or donning sterile gloves. Another doctor, Carlos Baldoceda of Biogenetics Ltd., performed an abortion while a nurse gave him what the Sun-Times described as a "sensual massage," and on another occasion did several procedures after drinking champagne at a clinic party...
