I know we have some physicians on this board. So what about it, doctors. Agree? Disagree?

quote:

During an interview with Live Action founder Lila Rose, former abortion doctor Anthony Levatino stated that late-term abortions are never medically necessary:

We hear all the time how abortion, including especially late-term abortion, is necessary to save women's lives. Nothing could be further from the truth. I spent nine years working at a tertiary medical center. There are only certain hospitals in the country that are designated to take care of the really, really high-risk pregnancies ...

Albany Medical Center in Albany, New York, where I worked, was one of them. I was faculty at the hospital for nine years, and I saw hundreds of cases of really severe pregnancy complications – cancers, heart disease, intractable diabetes ... toxemia pregnancy, out of control. In those nine years, I saved hundreds of women from life-threatening pregnancies, and I did that by delivering them, by ending their pregnancy by delivery – either induction of labor or cesarean section...

I always tell people, in all of those years, the number of babies that I had to, that I was obligated to deliberately kill in the process was zero, none.

It blows my mind that this is even a debate.

This has always been rather self explanatory.

They don't abort the baby with a Star Trek phaser. The thing doesn't de-materialize.

After you kill it, you still have a 6+ pound baby in there that's got to come out.

But several liberal posters who've watched Grey's Anatomy intently, say otherwise.

No shite...you need to deliver the baby..as is done with Eclamptic Moms...No need to kill the child. This is a ridiculous agreement by uniformed libtards who don't give a shite about human life.

Never necessary to abort what is after 24 weeks a viable baby. Can deliver the baby and save both lives.

A physician shouldn’t have to break the law to abort a fetus in an instance where it is a danger to the mother’s life.
That ... never ... happens ... !

There is no circumstance I'm aware of in which lateterm abortion would be a safer maternal option than delivery, either by SVD or C/S. Supposed maternal safety is a feel-good exception to encourage public support for policy which would never actually require the exclusion.

But let's be clear. Health and certainly the life of the mother is paramount, both in medicine AND in existing law. There is not a state in the country which rights of the unborn supercede health/life of parturant.

We need no new law to establish that.
It is already the law.
So when health of the mother is used as rationale for late-term abortion, your antennas should go up.

It is a bogus clause added for bogus purpose.
(a) Late-term abortion is not the safest option for severely health compromised parturants. C/S or SVD in a controlled medical setting are.
(b) In conjunction with "(a)", existing law in every state in the country ALREADY allows for ISVD or C/S as a medical intervention to preserve health of the mother.

Red herring regarding late term pregnancy. Sounds great to the lay public, but it's complete garbage in medical terms.

There is no circumstance in which care of a woman would be more safely administered at an abortion clinic rather than in a C-section suite, if she needed to end a late-term pregnancy. Nor BTW is there a situation in which c-section intervention would be denied her to save her life, regardless of abortion law.

My wife has delivered babies for 13 years. She has yet to see or even hear about a scenario that forces death to the infant for the mother's survival. ZERO cases

Generally agree but I like to never say never which is why the current abortion laws have exceptions that I include saving the life of the mother.

Yeah...so they can still be in Independant and go to parties and go back on the dating scene and live it up.

That's what the left means by saving lives, the woman won't be anchored down with a child to care for - she'll be independant and liberally free with no accountability.

That's what lib women love the most about abortion. It frees them of accountability in life. That's the liberation they are talking about. Freedom from responsibility.
