Here is the proof that abortion is never medically necessary to save the mothers life:
Bucky, did you even read what I wrote.
If the issue is severe maternal complication and it is late in pregnancy (read post viability of fetus)they could do a C-section and hope the fetus was advance enough to survive preterm birth.
The problem is that when these complications arise before viability.
And if you think this one doctor speaks for all or even most in terms of pre viability abortions, you are beyond naïve.
I am curious. DO you really think all women have accesses to high risk obstetricians and ready access to major medical centers capable of following them?
Do you really realize what that entails?
There are cancers that are managible with pregnancy, others not so much. So cardiac issues require medical diligence and assurance of a safe l and d plan. Others have disease that is so greatly worsened by the pregnancy that death is a distinct possibility.
One thing is for certain the say so of one doctor does not replace the care a woman gets from her health care team. In my area, we have an abundance of high risk OB specialists and specialists in general. They will give careful consideration as to the real risk to maternal life.
But Bucky, you diminish this relationship a woman has with her doctor and specialists by so narrowly viewing this issue. You do not take into consideration prior health, support systems - social and financial - desire to give birth and great personal risk.
Think of it this way. Your doctor tells you that you have AML (severe form of leukemia). We will give you the less optimal chemo . Hopefully you will do ok. Then in 6 month we will give you the treatment that stands the best chance of helping you survive. Are you going to be ok with taking the less optimal treatment and waiting 6 months for the aggressive treatment?
