Horrific.
When talking about these doctors and mothers, they need to add the phrase "who want to murder the baby in the womb". This has nothing to do with real health care. Mothers who are having serious complications can receive emergency care for themselves and their baby. What the doctors cannot do is murder the baby as part of the "treatment". They can provide emergency C-sections if the mother's life is truly in danger. The baby may not be able to survive outside of the womb despite the best intensive care, but that is not the same as intentionally murdering the baby. Abortionists lie and make it seem like there are thousands of mothers in jeopardy of dying, all because doctors cannot legally perform an abortion. That is a damnable lie.
@cstrouts
19 күн бұрын
Why is a C-section preferred if the fetus is too young to live outside the womb? You realize a C-section is major abdominal surgery, right? It significantly increases risk to the mother, and also increases risk of complications in future pregnancies. If the fetus is going to die, or has already died, a C-section is medical malpractice. The safest procedure for the mother is an abortion.

So for you it’s a semantics thing? It’s just using the word fetus over baby? Also if an abortion “to murder the baby” is needed after the short time period allowed-what then? Wait and get a c-section? Risk death? There is only a tiny amount of time to abort a pregnancy because of this law.

Having children is dangerous at times. Its better than in in 1800s but it still has many problems. Most women who have abortions are married woman who have hard complications or can not afford another child. Also 99% of all abortions are within the first 4 months which there is no life to a child. It is a fetus. The others are mostly hardships in pregnancy that the woman wants the child but can't. And it hurts. All your beliefs do is make these women suffer for no reason even more then they have to. Get a new perspective and change your perception to caring for women like you. No woman wants an abortion.

@@garypascucci5797 The main ethical dilemma is how to balance things out. How to preserve a woman’s right to well-being and liberty and at the same time give fetus a chance. The only solution that works is to split gestation in two phases, pre-viability and viability. This way a woman will have a complete freedom of decision until a fetus becomes viable. And after that it’s a health reason only. This is the only way to achieve this balance.

Such a one sided discussion. How about we ask what happens to a culture that uses abortion as birth control? Can we talk about that? I encounter these statistics regularly. Pregnant women who use ZERO means of birth control, who say their pregnancy is unplanned and unwanted. How does that make sense??? because in less than 50 years abortion has become an acceptable method of birth control. Denying the inward effects on human life and dignity. Abortion as birth control is violence to the unborn and the mind of these precious woman. It degrades all of our value down to mere convenience. We’re killing our humanity by asserting this one specific lie we call choice. The right to destroy life in the womb. Let’s start calling children the unaborted ones so we can bring ourselves back to reality.
