On this day:

A deadly deception

From the Summit Medical Center's web site:

Welcome to Summit Medical Center

Experienced Qualified Staff

The Clinic is staffed by Alabama licensed physicians dedicated to providing medically sound treatment. The professional staff at Summit Medical Center includes RNs, LPNs, Nurse Practitioners, counselors and certified laboratory technicians. The entire staff at Summit Medical Center is highly qualified and experienced. Patients can depend on the finest possible care as well as compassionate and ethical conduct by the staff.

Counseling

No one is alone at Summit Medical Center. All services include an opportunity for the patient and, if requested, family or friends to consult with a trained counselor. If a woman is found to be pregnant, the counselor will help her explore her feelings regarding her pregnancy and the alternatives open to her. The counselor will inform each patient about the details of the individual service chosen and will offer support and guidance. Women who are unsure about the abortion decision are encouraged to make an appointment with a counselor before making a final decision.
