I've know women who had preeclampsia during pregnancy, but none of them aborted their children. I had a tubal pregnancy which ruptured -- it was a surgical procedure in the hospital to remove the tube. Nothing like a saline abortion.
We are robots, eh... bound by the parameters etched in our genetics.
Right, and I suppose you also think that when you pay your dentist $100 for a filling, the dentist pockets $100. Because s/he doesn't have to pay rent or mortgage on the office space, has no other staff to pay, no utility bills, no equipment purchase and servicing costs, no insurance, no taxes. Uh huh, right.
Revenues are not the same thing as profit. Many businesses take in huge revenues while losing money or breaking even, and even very profitable businesses show profits at a tiny fraction of their revenues. And a doctor performing an abortion doesn't get anywhere near the amount the patient pays, even as revenue, much less as profit.
I recall one case where information or misinformation was given to a friend of mine. She was told to get an abortion. The abortion was performed.
After consulting with others with experience in the field and learning the terminology, years later, it dawned on her that she didn't need an abortion.
The doctor probably wanted practice with a dilation & curettage.

Thanks! to NCSteve for picking up this Mangled Language gem!
Maybe she should be profiled in Soldier of Fortune. Killer for hire.
Preeclampsia: http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic480.htm
Ectopic or "tubal" pregnancies are those which implant in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus. If not terminated very early, severe damage to the tube is guaranteed (it's often permanently blocked even after a very timely termination). If not terminated before the size of the fetus causes the tube to rupture, severe and even fatal internal bleeding can result, and surgery to repair the rupture and retrieve the dead fetus carries a significant chance of serious infection. These pregnancies are quite common, and now usually terminated with methotrexate (similar to RU486), rather than surgical abortion, since with the advent of routine ultrasound screening, they can be caught early enough for that method.
Preeclampsia and ectopics certainly account for a small percentage of abortions performed, but still quite a large number. In third world countries where prenatal care is basically non-existent, there are a huge number of maternal (and fetal) deaths from these causes. In developed countries, mild preeclampsia is usually manageable, but more severe preeclampsia often requires "delivery" well before the point of fetal viability. Where the pregnancy is far enough along that the fetus could possibly survive, this will indeed take the form of a premature delivery rather than an abortion, but if it's before the third trimester calling it a "delivery" is just a euphemism for therapeutic abortion, especially since fetal growth is retarded by anything beyond very mild preeclampsia, so the fetus' actual development level and size will be behind the norm for the number of weeks into the pregnancy.
What really is "one in a million" is the cases where "partial birth" third trimester abortion provides the best chance to save the life of a mother (who would have to be in virtually critical condition to begin with, to have her life be further endangered by a natural or C-section delivery).
The SD law has been stayed by the courts pending the outcome of the legal battle.
Standard procedure when the Constitutionality of a law is challenged.
See my post #45 about the fees. The person actually performing the abortion does not collect the fee that the patient pays, just as with any other type of medical procedure.
I asked him what law she was breaking, and I never got an answer. The SD law isn't scheduled to go into effect until July 1st, in any case.
When, like, 100 years ago?
Preeclampsia can be treated without sacrificing the fetus.
Theraputic abortion to save the life of the mother is extremely rare.
This has nothing to do with medicine. Liberal Feminism is a religion to these people, and abortion it's high sacrament. This lady, no doubt, views herself as a missionary spreading her gospel to the people of South Dakota.
"one woman was having her fourth abortion that day"
Sounds like she has a day pass.
There are multiple factors that determine how a person behaves, but genetics and epigenetic programming are very real factors. Take two short-fused pit bulls and breed them with each other, and the offspring will nearly all be short-fused pit bulls, no matter how you raise them from puppyhood. People who don't believe that tend to get their faces (or their children's faces) ripped off by their "sweet" pet pit bull. It can be very dangerous to believe that "it's all in how they're raised", whether you're talking about pit bulls or people.
Depends how severe the preeclampsia is, and what stage the pregnancy is at when it becomes severe. No doubt in many cases, the procedure is carried out as a "delivery", but there's no meaningful difference between a therapeutic abortion and an induced delivery of a clearly non-viable fetus.
Who exactly do you mean by "we?"
Very clever!
