birth control

No kidding. A more progressive one, maybe.

Women don't talk about their OB/GYNs the same way they'll share info about a primary care physician or a pediatrician. It's kind of a shame when you think about it.

Most of my friends have had no problem recommending OB/GYNs to me, and I'll recommend mine in a heartbeat. I think unless a doctor does something completely egregious (see above), most women will stick with a doctor for years, especially considering you ideally see them once a year.

SydneyK, wow... just wow. She should have told you that up front, so that you wouldn't waste your time.

My parents are retired doctors, and they are vehemently pro-life. Not only would they not participate in abortions, they would not participate in permanent sterilization surgery either. (They'd probably strangle me if they knew I was using birth control. Still, I've been married for nearly ten years and haven't had a baby - they must suspect.) In their cases, it wasn't an issue, because there were plenty of doctors on staff who would do these procedures (big city hospitals).

But I feel sorry for those women who live in parts of the world where they can't get an abortion, can't get a tubal, can't even get the pill, because of religious factors - especially if those factors come from a religion they don't even follow.
