“The American experience has been that allowing abortions for ‘mental health’ reasons opens the door to rubber-stamp abortions for any reason or no reason – abortion on demand,” he explains. “When the U.S. Supreme Court imposed abortion on all 50 states in 1973, it defined the ‘health’ exception for abortions at any time in pregnancy to include ‘all factors – physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age – relevant to the wellbeing of the patient. All these factors may relate to health.’”

Aden notes in the United States, “One abortionist in the Midwest notoriously approved a late-term abortion for a young woman who was ‘stressed out’ because her pregnancy kept her from attending a rock concert.”

I think it is appalling how this "right" to kill ones offspring for ANY reason and at ANY time prior to birth is how the law has evolved (DEVOLVED is more like it).

Shoot, if one’s mental health could justify rubbing someone out...

Oh, nevermind.

>> this "right" to kill ones offspring

You described what I've been saying for many, many years...

A woman's sense of liberty must not be defined by having the right to kill.

The question becomes, “Is there ANYTHING that a doctor CAN do that ethically they should not?” It seems to me, more and more, that when i was in Med School long ago there was a long list of stuff that was on the list of “no-nos”. Anymore that list is down to almost nothing.

Well, give the bad guys their due - at least they know what they are doing - what they want, and how to get it.

When abortion was illegal, it was NEVER a crime to operate to stop torrential hemorrhage or septic shock, even if it led, inadvertently, to the death of the child inside the womb.

If abortion is made illegal again, or is kept illegal in the case of Ireland, special legislation to protect emergency. lifesaving interventions is not necessary.

As with the Culture of Death’s other pet cause - “physician-assisted suicide”. No doctor has EVER been convicted of a crime for using pain medication to relieve suffering from terminal cancer or other illness. It has never happened.

I wish that no DA had ever sought an indictment for this, but that’s why we have juries.

Doctors have a therapeutic privilege. No special legislation is necessary to defend it.

I remember when it was called “therapeutic abortion” in CA. Even Reagan bought into it.

Good for mental health?…just the opposite:

Of course JAMA devised a study right away to show that it had no ill effect whatsoever…

Most likely still cooking up some data to show that it’s actually good for you.
