52. Actually both of my daughters had to have D&Cs. For one it was not a problem. She was in CA at that

time. The other one worked for a Catholic hospital in Austin and had to go to another facility to get the D&C done because that hospital did not do any "abortions". Both fetuses had no heartbeats. Each woman was trying hard to have children (happily both were able to each have two wonderful children later.) That was 10 years ago. I still do not understand and never will understand why women are not treated as humans but as reproductive units in the state I once loved so much.
