BTW, does anyone know of one maternal medical condition that is relieved or "cured" by killing a fetus after it's delivered.

Of course not (but you knew that already). PBA's are a matter of the mother's convenience, not her health.

I'm no doctor but I could imagine there may be women who are on the verge of stroke, or hemorrhage, or whatever, that MAY need some emergency delivery of the fetus before term.

There are such things as Caesarians for such emergencies.

I was thinking the same thing.

I know the Catholic church tries to support women who become pregnant with an unwanted baby. It isn't about being judgmental, it's about showing that there is an alternative to the brutal practice of abortion. There are groups willing and ready to help women who find themselves trapped by either bad choices or a violent circumstance. I embrace W's hope that we can try to do more for these women. It will require a cultural change and that will take lots of prayer and some doing. W makes it sound like it's not totally impossible. I am not sure any President has tried to pull so much hope into the abortion picture.
