Abortion is against science and its against common sense, its murder plain and simple. We need to ban it altogether, this article hits the nail right on the head.
Penny Nance: World'''s tiniest surviving preemie shows abortion isn’t in line with science or common sense | Fox News
Let us bring this back to the original post.
A woman had complications in pregnancy that endangered her life.
She ended up needing an urgent c-section to save her life.
The c-section was done right at the viability stage and the baby born luckily did not have serious complications other than severe prematurity. The reason some women decide to abort at this stage is because the fetus has catastrophic physical and/or severe genetic defects. This baby was born without such defects. So survival was all about being at the right place at the right time.
Because the woman had the baby at a top of the line institution known for handling the frailist if the frail preemies....this baby survived.
How many women live that near a major institution that has that level of neonatal intensive care? (yes, there are levels of NICU)
The reality for many is that at a lower level nursery, they would have attempted resuscitation within their abilities and attempted for a specialized neonatal transport to a suitable facility. But realistically, the time involved to give that baby a chance might be the death of that baby.
Now we should all ask ourselves....which party is trying to assure better access to health care for men, women, and children?
Which party was likely to support more of the science and medicine grants and such to help advance medical care so baby Saybie could survive?Which party is more apt to respect science....especially with consensus and peer review?
One thing a woman thinks about when she is considering abortion is her and her born children's health and welfare. Who is more apt to support better medical care and safety nets for men,women, and children?
Baby Saybie is alive not because of a miracle...she is alive because people tirelessly pushed for health care and advanced care facilities to be available .
We spent trillions going into war in Iraq (etc) in the bat if an eye ....it is amazing we have to think twice about making sure Americans have access to life saving health care and research.
Baby Saybie is with us because medical and scientific programs and training were supported to allow for her to live.
Science is a good thing.
