The BBC isn't responsible for placing the ads. Like 99% of other content providers that task is outsourced, in this case to doubleclick. Doubleclick doesn't provide any context sensitivity to which ads are displayed in its articles. They just target based on IP address (so they know your geographic location) and I believe if you have an account with the BBC and are logged in they can deliver more targeted ads based on your market segment. Context is entirely beyond their capabilities.
All they know is that you're someone in Brooklyn and they have to deliver ad impressions for clients X, Y, and Z for that market. The content of the ads is purely random chance.
And profoundly scared. What happens to women who need late term abortion now? There were already so few doctors who performed the surgery. And this is not like early term abortions -- most of these pregnancies are wanted and planned for, with complications that would kill the mother or fetus. In some cases, mothers are carrying a large, dead fetus and have to get it out lest they die in childbirth, or just to avoid the trauma of hours of labor to expel the dead fetus they carry. What happens now?
I can't see myself making it out of a situation like that alive. I would kill myself, either on purpose or while trying to self-abort.
"I would kill myself, either on purpose or while trying to self-abort."
I think that is part of what so scary. A lot of women feel that way - as I posted earlier I had a client who felt that way and we sent her to Dr. Tiller and she did not have to kill herself after all.
I just don't know what to do. I wish I had the stomach & technical expertise to go into medicine (blood makes me queasy & I have a hard time retaining figures) so that I could work in his field and pick up some of the slack.
There isn't a new generation of doctors being trained in these procedures, because of med students' (justified) fears and politics of teaching facilities.

But I didn't know how to phrase the randomness, so I gave in to get tin foil hats tingling.

It's devastating. Completely so.
