Trying to rationalize the killing of innocent yet to be born children from the pro-death crowd, always makes me think of murderers trying to rationalize for the jury the killing of a stranger for his wallet.
One of my most fervent daily prayers is to pray for the conversion of those who are pro-choice, because once upon a time I, too, was as rabidly pro-choice as one could get.
Becoming Pro-life came in stages though. I strongly disapproved of late-term abortions, I figured once the baby is "made" then it was too late. Then my thinking evolved to "do it early or don't do it at all" until I saw the little baby feet pins and pictures of tiny, dismembered babies--hands and arms no bigger than a dime--at 9 weeks.
Then I have to credit Mother Teresa for the final reckoning. One of her quotes was "Abortion is the work of the Devil" and that did it. Who is the father of lies and murder?
You can't call yourself a "Christian" and side with the Devil on any issue. It's serving two masters.
Even the Hindus have stern admonitions against abortion. "But the Vedas teach that wanton loss of a human body is a serious transgression against the karmic law." --Swami Sri Yukteswar
How is her obvious revulsion at this consistent with being eager to dismember little tykes in utero...
She’s just another educated idiot.
I’m guessing this brat wrote this garbage partly to humiliate her parents.
Hopefully, she ends up ................
This individual is NOT getting the moral guidance she silently screams for.
Nope.
When good decent Americans are killed by Muslim terrorists we are told that it is our fault for provoking them. Why isn’t killing innocent children ever considered to be provocative?
So she willingly allowed herself to be indoctrinated by the feminists. Too bad she didn't also educate herself on the psychological horrors that women endure AFTER their abortions. She might have ended up with a more balanced view of the issue.
I’ve read Bernard Nathanson’s book and heard him speak. In the inner cities, yes, many, many women hospitalized from the complications of abortions - but they mostly lived. I asked him how many women were dying from abortion a year in the late 50s, early 60s and he said it was a couple hundred.
See the graph I posted in 34. The number of women dying from abortion has NOTHING to do with legality, the number dropped as antibiotics were developed (the drop followed the same patterns as other minor surgeries).
she is also not getting the correct medical education..yet.
Most doctors I know, Christian or not, emphatically state there is almost NO reason to have a late term abortion for medical reasons. And yes, doctors do not like to do this proceedure...legal or not.
I was at best indifferently pro-choice -- until *I* was faced with a decision about my wife carrying a child that was FAR worse than inconvenient and which promised both of us life-long grief if a number of conditions didn't tip our way.
We chose life. Some conditions didn't tip our way (the most important ones did) and we suffered years of grief over that... but... that child is now near grown, bright, in college, happy and studying to be an engineer just like Dad.
There's a story here just waiting to be written, but we aren't ready yet. It needs a conclusion and we haven't got that. Not sure we ever will.
The legalization of abortion in America meant the Oath was out. But even with abortion legalized, pro-life physicians could still practice according to their consciences. The American College of OB/GYN, however, threw down the gauntlet in November 2007 with its Ethics Statement No. 385, which defined any OB/GYN doctor who did not perform or refer for abortion as unethical. The American Board of OB/GYN quickly followed with a new requirement that an OB/GYN doctor had to agree with the ethics of the College to pass the OB/GYN boards. Washington state and Oregon have declared euthanasia (assisted suicide) a legal activity in their states. Peter Singer, Professor of Bioethics at Princeton, advocates infanticide when he writes, "killing a disabled infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Very often it is not wrong at all."
So, how do I respond to this challenge to my rights of conscience as a pro-life OB/GYN physician in this age?
Life and death: Death is upon us. "Us" being doctors.
Research has shown repeatedly that, as students go through medical education, they tend to become less empathetic, more narcissistic, and less systematic in their ethical decision-making. Something is seriously wrong with our medical schools.
What a hypocrite. If it's immoral for them to die rather than provide them with safe competent care, how is it not immoral to actively kill their babies?
This woman may have been raised in a conservative Christian home, but she certainly isn't.
