Most abortions are sought by women who simply look on them as alternative birth control so I’m not sure I’d characterize them as mostly ‘one-night-stands’, just general irresponsibility.

As far as ‘life of the mother’ reasons, there are very few conditions in early pregnancy where the delivery of the baby is required to save the mother’s life. Only early ectopics (tubal pregnancies) which can now be treated medically might safely be treated there. However, since nobody actually goes to abortion clinics for prenatal care, it is unlikely that ectopic pregnancies are being discovered or treated there routinely outside of those found when the woman is already seeking abortion for other reasons.

As for life-threatening conditions later in pregnancy, none of them require the death of the baby, just the delivery, which unfortunately may be too early for the baby to survive. None of these should be treated outside of a hospital, and there is no reason why every effort can’t be made to save the baby, too, if the pregnancy is far enough along.

I can’t imagine a circumstance where planned parenthood has actually saved any pregnant woman’s life.

I think this is a good tactic. If they do so much good other than abortions, then there is no reason for them to continue doing abortions and jeopardize all of that humanitarian work they are doing for women’s health. (do I need the /s?)

Anyway, this way evil Trump isn’t cutting off women’s health care, PP is.

Love,

Well what I meant about one night stand pregnancies was more like they have recreational abortions; two or three months down the road and they’re tired of it all.
