AUSTIN Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis reveals in a new campaign memoir that she terminated two pregnancies for medical reasons in the 1990s, including one where the fetus had developed a severe brain abnormality.
Davis writes in Forgetting to be Afraid that she had an abortion after an exam revealed that the brain of the fetus had developed in complete separation on the right and left sides. The Associated Press purchased an early copy of the book, which hits stores Tuesday.

In a normal pregnacy this would not be picked up on a sonogram. It could be picked up with an MRI. There would be no reason to do an MRI in a normal pregnancy. I would like to know what symptoms indicated the need for an MRI.
I think she is lying.
Eeeeewwwwwwww!
TMI!!!!!
I’ve never heard of an ectopic pregnancy being referred to as an abortion - you either miscarry or you are in great pain and bleeding profusely, resulting in an emergency procedure - often losing a fallopian tube. That is NOT abortion so I agree with many who are thinking the liberal lies are being spread again....
Like most of my conservative friends; I can spot a phony a mile away. W. Davis is beyond being a phony. She is all about getting as much as she can without actually working for it. Power, money, and influence is her motivator. She has zero interest in serving as the office requires. Nuff said.
Evil has many faces. W. Davis wears one of them.
Typical baby killer, no shame and no soul.
Amen!
I forgot to add in reference to her other abortion for an ectopic pregnancy, an abortion is 100% needed. The baby will die regardless and there is a high probability the mother will die if the fetus is not aborted.
However there is an issue of statistics. How many mothers have had ectopic pregnancies and also another pregnancy in which the child has a left right brain separation?
Ectopic pregnancy is 2%.
I could not find any statistics on fetal total brain separation in. Infact I could only find a reference to Wendy Davis.
The statistical odds of what she is saying is not low but off the charts low. I do think she lying.

Ectopic pregnancy is 20 per thousand.
Total brain seperation “agenesis of the corpus callosum” is one in 4000 i.e. .25 per thousand. The odds of Wendy Davis having conceived one child with agenesis of the corpus callosum and another child that was ectopic is 1 in 80,000.
I do not believe her.

The reason for my second post is I did find information on
agenesis of the corpus callosum.
Fetal brain defects can definitely be picked up by sonography.

That is called being a DEMOCRAT!
Here in Texas she is called ABORTION BARBIE
It IS called an abortion. Sorry, but it is. I had a miscarriage and the doctor said it is called a ‘spontaneous abortion’ when you miscarry. Abortion just means to stop the pregnancy, and the baby dies. There are all kinds of abortions. I am against the ones where a doctor knowingly murders a baby that would have been born just fine. It is NOT a Choice, it is a CHILD.
My sister had to have both of her pregnancies aborted because the babies were stuck in fallopian tubes both times. She had tubal ligation reversed and due to all the scar tissue the babies couldn’t make it through the F tubes to the womb. it was VERY sad. She wanted to have a baby so bad. But she is a lib and very pro abortion now I think a lot of women who are pro abortion have had an abortion in the past, and/or they can’t have a baby and they are bitter about it, so they want all babies aborted. that is my opinion of my sister. She hates it that I had three kids.
LEAK?? Democrats are PROUD of their Abortions!!!
She’s made it into the club! vote her in she killed two of her own
“Come November, her candidacy will be promptly aborted by the people of Texas.”
As a staunch conservative, I consider Wendy as my friend :)
“An ectopic pregnancy being ended hardly constitutes murder...” You got that right. The surgical removal of a fallopian tube in which is lodged an embryo is NOT abortion and is not condemned by even the Catholic Church. The mother and baby are equally at risk when an embryo attaches in the tube. In a perfect world, the embryo could be surgically removed from the fallopian tube, then surgically implanted in the uterus. However, medicine has not advanced that far.
Do the Dems give you extra points for killing more than one?
