As a former NICU nurse with too much experience trying to save victims of prostaglandin abortions who refused to die, no one can be more anti-abortion than me. I do not believe this story. Nurses in hospitals do not hold people down while abortions are performed against their will. And doctors with admitting privileges at hospitals do not perform abortions against a person's will. This story simply is not true.

That was exactly my take on it.

I thot it a tad to "well" written.

If this is true, it's horrible, but I tend not beleive it.

[Iron Eagle]

I agree. If it is true, I will represent the mother, at my own expense, in an action against all liable parties.

Eeeeee.
I never thought about that this story could be a hoax. On the one hand I hope it is because I wouldn't want anybody to go through this, but at the same time I don't want our side using propaganda to win.

Underage minors do not have the (legal) option of refusing care unless they are emancipated. Ever heard of a child refusing chemo and requesting to die but they get it anyway? It is difficult to believe, but place it in a less than ethical public hospital with a bunch of pro-choice nurses and this could happen. Stranger things have.

"...I do not believe this story. Nurses in hospitals do not hold people down while abortions are performed against their will. And doctors with admitting privileges at hospitals do not perform abortions against a person's will. This story simply is not true...."

As someone who works in an E.D. - this story has to be bogus, no doctor would put his license on the line for a parent in this situation. I cannot believe that there is an E.D. nurse alive that would hold a woman down during a forced abortion. And no hospital administrator wants the "added cost and publicity" of such a potentially nasty lawsuit.

[George W. Bush]

This story simply is not true.

Where are the lawsuits? Where are the criminal charges? In many states, this abortion would be a murder.

I don't buy it.

But I oppose all abortions and consider the "hard cases" to be primarily a literary device created by the abortion industry.

And in California, a rape victim can decide at the age of 12 whether or not to go through a rape exam, regardless of the wishes of the parents. I would think the same rules would apply in this case.

This story simply is not true.
