Removing an ectopic pregancy is not the same thing as an abortion, but you knew that.
It ends a fetal heartbeat. It is the exact definition of ‘abortion’ - ending a pregnancy.
What about first trimester preeclampsia? The only way to save the mom is to abort the baby. Would that be acceptable to people here, or is this too close to ‘abortion’? Is that a time a woman should go down with the ship? To give her life for her child?
There are radical comments made here all the time that are as bad as Akin. Many people here believe that there is NEVER a time to end a baby’s life to save the mom. Some are ignorant and believe that modern medicine can save every pregnancy without exception. (Just not true) Others actually believe that women should die before they end a pregnancy.
What REALLY irritates me is that the Left uses these ignorant, uneducated comments as fuel for their cause.
I, and my family, are very pro-life. We look at these lost pregnancies as tragedies and miscarriages. We grieve.
But we feel no guilt.
