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.

No question about it.

Matt Anderson, a practicing OB/GYN in Minnesota, writes:

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.
