Mother of the Year Finalist Refused Abortion, Delayed Leukemia Treatments Until Daughter’s Birth

[unspun]

I am committed to the life of the unborn, but how can one preserve the life of a child in an ectopic pregnancy?

[TheCrusader]

Back in 1997 the AMA stated that "partial birth abortion is never medically necessary to preserve the life or fertility of the mother". Yet 9 years later this grizzly form of infanticide is still being practiced in the name of "medicine". This tells me that the issue is not, and never has been, about the life or health of the mother. That was only the smokescrean to cover the real reason for abortion, namely, the selfish life of the mother.

Abortion is the opposite of love:

Love says: "I will sacrifice myself for you".

Abortion says: "I will sacrifice you for myself".

quote from Fr. Frank Pavone, Priests for Life.

"Abortion is a form of psychic self-destruction, and if practiced on a large scale it will have the gravest consequences for any society that condones it. Abortion is the ultimate denial of both fetus and mother. It is an act of aggression. Not to help the mother, but to advise her to abort is to push her even deeper into her loneliness and isolation, to provoke a depression which in our experience is malignant and incurable."

...The late, great Dr. Conrad Baars, psychiatrist

Great post.

[P.O.E.]

But "life of the mother" makes such a great shibboleth to raise as an obstacle to alternatives to partial-birth abortion. Much easier than having to think it through.
