I guess judges are fiends in human form all over the world. :-(

I'll ping it out tomorrow unless my co-pinger gets to it first.

911 could do nothing to save a miscarriage except tell the woman to get on bedrest and call her OBGYN, who might phone in some progesterone.

BTDT.

[littlehouse36]

Miscarriage usually happens because the baby is already dead.

Sometimes, a woman will "miscarry" or deliver prematurely because of dialation or low progesterone. In the earlier case, the cervix is "stitched" and in the latter, bedrest and progesterone are prescribed.

In the case of premature delivery, if a baby can live outside the womb then by all means he/she should be saved. In most of the examples you give however (<28 weeks) this is not the case.

The Irish Supreme Court are nothing but a bunch of demon bastards.

Now shall I tell you what I really think?

[gcruse]

Yes. for those with the ears to hear.

So what?!

Neither do thawed out ones, implanted ones, ones that are still inside Mom, and soon, coming to a 'caring' facility near you, ones that have been born, but are considered to have 'poor chances' in life!

RIGHT!

IT...I'm sure that you've spoken about abortion to your friends, neighbors, or person in the stool beside yours at the pub.
What would you say is the prevalent opinion on abortion amongst the Irish, oh, twenty-five thru forty years of age?

Now shall I tell you what I really think?

I'm probably thinking the same thing about the High court and Supreme Court! :-P

[Irish_Thatcherite]

This country is still predominantly pro-life, but many are fooled by the whole "under certain circumstances" nonsense!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

So you're anti-life, I take it....
