We submitted this letter to the Mail & Guardian as the SRJC and it was edited considerably and published and attributed incorrectly. The response is deeply disappointing. We stand by our original letter and want to reiterate that incorrect referrals cost time and money for the health system and the women involved. It is not acceptable to repeat and publish inaccurate information. The Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act notes the obligation of the provider to refer to appropriate services. This journalism undermines medical ethics. By the Sexual and Reproductive Justice Coalition.
