I think by SuziQ's answer that people should act like adults, she meant that people should not get into prideful arguments where a husband and wife are so much at odds over a procedure. That said, By whose ~should~ be respected... Obviously if push comes to shove, legally it's the woman's decision what kind of medical treatment to accept or not accept. But any marriage that reaches a logjam on that point is not a marriage between reasonable people.
Personally, I have a lot more faith in a doctor's advice (that's why he makes the big bucks) than many here. I agree with the poster above who said not to fear information. I'm also aware of the many false results posted here, though I am very skeptical that any doctor anywhere has tried to PUSH abortion on people. Discussed in hard cases maybe, but even here in a pretty liberal area, no one would have the moxie to try to PRESSURE a woman into an abortion. I think that's just fluff.
Precisely. I try not to let "what ifs" get in the way of "What IS".
Whenever a story sounds unbelievable, that doesn't mean it's not true. Everyone has an agenda. I believe those stories because I've given birth three times and went through at least four different OB offices. No offense, but too many doctors behave like dictators. I prefer midwives.
I also knew a woman who had a very high risk pregnancy, and the doctors were pressuring her daughter to abort. They warned that the baby would probably die and that the woman would definitely die. But the woman had watched the ultrasound, saw her own daughter's little legs kicking, and refused. Her child was born perfectly healthy. Last I heard, she's the mother of two now.
