British Doctors Told to Advise Women Abortion Safer Than Giving Birth
Fox News ^ | Feb. 27, 2011

Posted on 02/27/2011 2:18:48 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

Doctors and nurses in Britain are being advised to tell their patients that having an abortion is safer than having the baby, The Telegraph reports.

The draft guidance from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is for all doctors, nurses and counselors advising women who are thinking about terminating their pregnancy.

Its first recommendation on "what women need to know" instructs health professionals: "Women should be advised that abortion is generally safer than continuing a pregnancy to term."

The guidance also says that women who are deciding whether to have an abortion must be told that most do not suffer any psychological harm. Until now, their advice has been that while rates of psychiatric illness and self-harm in women are higher among those who had an abortion, there was no evidence that termination itself was likely to trigger psychological problems.

This line of reasoning actually makes sense to liberals.

At least, to liberals already born.

Maybe safer for the women.

But it is MURDER on the children.

I posted this from the Telegraph a little while ago, and as I pointed out in that thread, a glance at the websites of abortion clinics in the U.S. would show that they’ve been selling this BS to American women, too.

Death at any means. Sick.

Next they’ll be claiming it’s easier than taking a pill every morning or buying a condom or just keeping your knees together.

Here's where morals and conviction really come into play, folks.

My particular estimate of the potential for destruction in this world is if the mother/father is a Muslim or not. Muslim? A definite high-potential for madness and irreparable damage to civilized society.

I also believe abortion is murder,plain and simple - no frills.

My question is, "Does God recognize Islam?"

Ridiculous and maddening...more like the reason is that it would be cheaper for their government run health care system.

Abortion more than doubles the chance of getting breast cancer. And that’s especially dangerous when the NHS is refusing many patients cancer treatments.

They prefer to offer assisted suicide, which is cheaper.

Abortion and assisted suicide. It’s a twofer from the NHS.

I doubt if these 'facts' are in fact true. It is hard to believe that a surgical or chemical procedure is safer than a natural process.

But then again, the left has been known to make up things as they go along. When O interviewed 0 for example 0bummer said that the majority of people wanted his healthcare bill.

Of course it’s not true.

One thing is that doctors perform way, WAY too many caesarians. Maybe with medical interventions it’s a bit more dangerous to give birth, but the vast majority of caesarians are totally unnecessary. Just racks up more $ for doctors etc.
