A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: ‘Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even one year old, and I’m pregnant again. I don’t want kids so close together.’
So the doctor said: ‘Ok and what do you want me to do?’
She said: ‘I want you to end my pregnancy, and I’m counting on your help with this.’
The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: ‘I think I have a better solution for your problem. It’s less dangerous for you too.’ She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.
Then he continued: ‘You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let’s kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we’re going to kill one of them, it doesn’t matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.’
The lady was horrified and said: ‘No doctor! How terrible! It’s a crime to kill a child!’
‘I agree’, the doctor replied. ‘But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.’
The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point. He convinced the mom that There is no difference in killing a child that’s already been born and one that’s still in the womb. The crime is the same!
nice story ping...
The crimes ARE the same and should be PUNISHED in the same Biblically-mandated manner.
Sadly enough, if an OB-GYN said something like this today he/she would probably get in some serious trouble.
Sadly, you’re probably right.
You beat me to it. The media would be tearing the doctor to pieces and the state would be gunning for his license.
That’s a novel approach that I think could really work.
My Ob-Gyn did just that - he marched a woman out of his office, handed her her records and told her to find someone else to do her abortion. I was sitting right in the office when it happened. It was in 1983.
It is such a sad commentary on where we as a people are in this Alice in Wonderland world.
The truth can not be spoken. What kind of free nation is this?
And to think there are those (in and out of the medical profession) who would refer to such a child as a tissue mass or,as they put it in pathology reports (and I've seen many),"products of conception".
Solomonic
Today,in many states,he'd lose his medical license and very probably be sued for millions.
In this country alone I think 50 million unborn babies have been butchered since Roe v. Wade.
The internal and unseen holocaust of the womb will eventually become an external and obvious one which will take the lives of those on the outside of the womb.
Increasingly less free, in a multitude of ways that have not yet been realized by we citizens, thanks to Obama and his Parallel Executive Branch.
It hasn't been, and it won't be for a long time. The Tea Party is a good first step. My 14 year old son is a huge history aficionado, and he says it will take most of his lifetime to turn things around. I raised a smart kid.
Sounds like an urban legend, but the point is well taken.
He would have packed up and moved back to Iran, his homeland. He was one of the best doctors I ever had.
I did almost the same thing many years ago. I was manning a right to life booth at the indiana state fair and a woman approached me accompanied by a disabled child and accosted me for my stance which allowed her child to be born disabled instead of aborted...I simply said to her, kill him now, it’s the same child......she said nothing else.
Nobody claims that this is anything other than a piece of good pro-life fiction.
I find it rather ironic that the medical establishment will go all out to save a premature baby when they are as willing to end the life of one of the same gestational age.
