Q & A Concerning Abortion Care


I know Dr. Harrison has been here in Fayetteville quite a while; does he still accept new patients?

We joyfully accept new patients. Dr. Harrison loves what he does and plans to practice as long as his body and mind allow. As some of you may be aware, he was injured last year (Feb, 2004) and was forced to take off work from Feb to Sept of '04. He returned to full gyn practice after a great struggle to regain his skills and his hospital priviledges, and has joyfully returned to the work he loves.

How are abortions done at Fayetteville Women's Clinic (FWC)?

Most of the abortions we do, from the earliest time you know you are pregnant to 18 weeks, we do by surgical abortion as a D&C. Should you meet our requirements for these drugs, we also provide medical abortions using methotrexate or mefipristone, and cytotec. For surgical abortions we use a combination of Valium and Versed intravenously which makes you forget the entire procedure after you receive these. Then we give you a paracervical block which numbs the mouth of the womb and remove the pregnant tissue. We have enclosed a booklet, Abortion! For me? which is included in some of the essays we have enclosed with this material, and that explains how we perform surgical abortions at FWC. We have also included an essay, Why I Do Abortions, which Dr. Harrison wrote his patients and school children several years ago. We think most questions are addressed for abortion patients in these two essays.
