The pregnant woman always seems to just vanish into thin air in these discussions.
The entire reason women have a legal right to abortion is that their very bodies are put at risk by pregnancy and childbirth.
I know how strongly people feel that a woman should bear the risk and the child, no matter what, but even in that perfect land where women do just that, there is a need for Ostetrician/gynecologists and GP's and surgeons trained well...
Women need doctors skilled in suction D&C; most misscarriages before 12 weeks are incomplete and require mechanical evacuation. The procedure is identical and there is no excuse for a physician who aims to treat women to avoid learning it.
Exactly. Can't you see that the training is already being given, as it must be, for D&C for other reasons, e.g., dysfunctional uterine bleeding?
What is going on is that they are trying to lead the horses to water AND make them drink, and the horses are balking, which is something I would expect to happen to well educated physicians who don't want to be murderers.
Face it, the physicians just don't want to do abortion, the feminazis don't know how to deal with such a thing as a free will, so they try to legislate training (read: brainwashing) in abortion techniques.
Sorry, doctors rightly find abortion repulsive. They don't want to do it. And no amount of arm-twisting by the state of New York is going to make them do it.
And I'm laughing because now every med school class is about fifty percent female, many of them are liberals, and, even then, the procedure is so repulsive and evil that they can't get enough people to do it.
As it should be.
As for the pregnant woman, she has a hard row to hoe, no doubt about it.
She shouldn't make matters worse by having an abortion, something that will plague her with guilt for the rest of her life.
She should have the baby, keep it, or give it to someone who will be able to care for it.
That is the fitting thing to do for an innocent infant caught in the circumstances of another person's life.
There are three persons involved: the mother, the child, and the father.
Denying that the child exists doesn't solve anything.
