Dr. Ron Paul said that in all of his years in the profession, he had not seen one case where this was necessary.
Don’t confuse irony with magnanimity. It’s perfectly consistent for those who fight for genuine freedom.
Who believes that abortion advocates would ever support limiting abortions to the rare exceptions of rape, incest, and saving a mother’s life, even if one concedes, for the sake of argument, that those exceptions are valid, and should be allowed?
It conveys the concept. Rush Limbaugh said Trump didn’t use email, for example.
While treatment of pre-eclampsia does involve ending the pregnancy, it can usually be done in such a way that both patients survive. I had labor induced when I had pre-eclampsia. That baby is now a father.
“It is ironic that conservatives want to save the lives of babies that would grow up to vote against them.”
Yes, it shocking that we believe that the right to life applies to everyone, not just to people with whom we agree politically.

Thank God your pre-eclampsia occurred when your son was old enough to survive. It can occur as early as 20 weeks.
The condition developed over time. As I recall, I started taking phenobarbitol to try to control it at about 5 or 6 months. But when I got closer to my due date, the condition worsened. Plus, I had placenta previa. I am lucky I did not lose him.
That’s splitting a mighty fine hair. Yes you could say “the child passed while trying to save save the mother” but several procedures, including those to end ectopic pregnancies (not all of which occur in the Fallopian tubes), due to invasive and quickly spreading cancers of the reproductive organs, or because of placental abruptions, are undertaken with the express aim to terminate the pregnancy. Furthermore they are undertaken at a time when it is known that there is no chance that the child will survive the procedure.
It is a horrible, soul wrenching choice and one I Thank God I never had to make. I don’t know if I could decide to end the life growing inside of me, even to save my own.
This is nonsense. It is abortion when the early, non-viable fetus is removed from the mother’s fallopian tubes. That is one of the rare times when abortion is moral, but it’s liberals nonsense to pretend that this is not abortion. I was present when an OB/GYN performed what she called her “first abortion ever” to save my sister’s life (after my brother-in-law was hit by a drunk driver and could not be there) for exactly that reason.
Part of the “War on Women” Megyn rekindled—A non-issue that is hoped will propel Hillary into the White House. She got Trump with it and the Pro-Life people “You would see your wife die!” comments were right out of the Planned Parenthood playbook. She did more to help Hillary in that debate than anyone else in a month. She’s No RINO—she a full on Liberal Progressive.
Thank you for posting this. Even some sincere conservatives sometimes stumble on this particular point. (Not sayin’ that MK is one! LOL)
(BTW, my absolutely BRILLIANT and GORGEOUS niece, who is teaching a seminar at Harvard Med this month, is the daughter of rape. My beloved sister DID NOT abort, and is SO glad she didn’t.)
Megan kelly is married and she has two children. It is inappropriate for people calling her a whore. Boy the vitrola is getting worse the woman asked some questions and suddenly Megan Kelly is the most hated person because she asked poignant questions and Donald Trump proved that he is unfit o be commander in chief. You think Odumbo is bad, Trump would even be worse.
Character assassination is common in political debates but it is a first for them to open up with character assassination.
Such an argument sounds overly facile; the people putting it forth appear to have never heard of the concept of triage.
However this kind of situation would have to represent well under 10% of the modern cases under which surgical abortions are performed.
Yep.
Probably even less than 10%.
Not only that, such an operation(to save the life of the mother) would never be performed at Planned Parenthood. If a mother’s life was in danger from an fallopian-tube pregnancy, she would be in a real hospital, not some abortion mill, and it would not even be characterized as an “abortion”.
It is a silly argument that has a way of tripping people up.
Yes; if health is endangered to the point that death was seriously feared, why is she at PP at all.
Great “GOTCHA” response! LOL!
We should all remember this next time someone mentions the “Life of the Mother” meme.
(Although I am not particularly fond of “GOTCHA Responses”, and prefer serious and civilized debate, the liberals use this tactic on us all the time, and it’s good to have a few of them ourselves!)
“she asked poignant questions”
It was not supposed to be a press conference or interview, it was supposed to be a debate, like, how does your immigration plan work verses amnesty. I get it, you don’t like Trump but what he did say about one actual issue was correct: we would not be having any conversation about the immigration disaster had I not raised it. He was right and he was right to try to jam that hatchet job question right back down her throat. His only regret should be taking on someone with more ink then he has.
Certainly PP can be told: “In such cases, who needs you.”
