I understand that and there is a very clear difference between the position described and what happens here. The majority of abortions in the Netherlands take place in abortion clinics. In hindsight, does this create problems? We have heard from psychologists about stigma and protests outside abortion clinics. Do clinics in the Netherlands attract protests? Would it be better to embed abortion services in hospitals? Has this been the experience in the Netherlands?
