British Health Official: Leave Babies Born at 23 Weeks to Die

An official of the British National Health Service, the governmental socialized medicine program, is drawing gasps from pro-life people worldwide over comments she made saying babies born at 23 weeks of pregnancy should be let to die.

I thank G-D every day that my mother left the UK before she had me, other wise.....well with people like that over in the UK, it is no wonder why they have declined so much.

Heck, withold health care from everyone except people who work for the Government. That’ll cut costs dramatically. Keep collecting taxes from everyone too. They won’t mind. Well, maybe they will mind, but they won’t do anything about it.

So if they are 23 weeks and one day, it's ok to save them?
How do doctors know the exact number of weeks and/or days a baby is?

They can only approximate.

With an attitude like that I’ll bet she was born down wind of the outhouse or a hog farm.

“...saying babies born at 23 weeks of pregnancy should be let to die.”

My daughter and son-in-law just came back from Moscow last Friday after 10s of thousands of dollars spent to adopt a baby. Maybe this British bastardette could give the infants to an orphanage, or did that ever cross her screwed up mind? What a monster! And the skinny, worthless ba$tard who lives in our White House agrees with her. God Help Us!

This is no different than when U.S. health care experts said that mammograms need not be done on women of a certain age (I forget the age group) because they ONLY are affective (at finding something that needs further attention) for 20 out of every 100 cases.

WHICH 20 out of 100 cases?

The 20 cases where the tests were effective.

How did those 20 cases become identified?

Because they found nothing in the other 80 cases.

In other words, the 20 cases where the tests were medically meaningful ONLY HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE 100 CASES that were done and, by chance, twenty important cases were found AMONG EVERY 100 cases. Without doing all 100 cases, the twenty important cases would not even have been known.

If no such mammograms were done on ANY women in the certain age group that the report was concerned with, then 20 out of 100 women in that age group would never obtain early identification of breast cancer - when such an early detection WAS possible for 20 of them.

If attempting to save ALL babies born premature at 23 weeks is disallowed, then no babies with a chance of surviving such a premature birth will be given that chance, because of the COST of providing that chance for those for whom the attempt might fail - a mix of outcomes that cannot be certain if no attempt is even made.

Possibility is condemned by the statistically likely population of the impossible. Bean counters over ethics.

If the desires of Americans makes their health care more “expensive”, it may be, in part, because, on moral grounds, they often refuse to NOT TRY, in spite of the “expense”.

“How do (British National Health) doctors know the exact number of weeks and/or days a baby is?”

If you’re white and not of the nobility, your child is 22 weeks and, sadly, will be left to die.

If you’re upper class or immigrant then, obviously, your child is 24 weeks and every effort will be made to assure that it lives.

The leftists are absolute evil. Everything in their agenda revolves around spreading death and misery to others.

The worst part is that there is nothing we can do about it. It’s very difficult to get motivated about helping people when you know that the worthless leftist vermin will do a dozen acts of evil for every good deed we try to do.

There are those who think the Brits are going to find it in themselves to deal with the Muslims taking over them. How in the world are they going to do that when they’re killing off their own kids?

“Was your daughter successful? Do you have a new grandchild?Congrats if so!!!”

Yes . . . it was successful . . . but there are no more infant orphanages in the U.S. anymore . . . none. Whereas, over 60 years ago, my sister, my brother, and I were adopted here in Cleveland from a Catholic orphanage.

Not nor more! Nowadays, we either kill ‘em (3,300 per day) in abortions, or we keep them . . . no middle ground.

Hence, American childless couples have to go to South America, Russia, China, etc., to get children because we throw ‘em in the trash here in the Good Old U.S.A.

Bitter . . . you bet!
