NOTE: Jeb Bush believes in abortion exceptions and of course Megyn Kelly gave him a pass and didn't ask him about it. She grilled Marco Rubio, saying Rubio had exceptions to abortion, which he doesn't. But like I said she gave Jeb Bush a pass, knowing full well his position. But she did let him blab on about how "pro-life" he was and all he had done for the pro-life movement in Florida. That's right Jeb, unless you didn't like who conceived the child, then you let them die! The way you let Teri Schievo die without lifting a finger to save her.
This premise is false. My daughter HAD to terminate a pregnancy or she would be dead now.
In all democratic countries other than the US, abortion is illegal after the third or fourth month. The only places in the world that allows abortion in the third trimester are: (1) the Democratic-controlled states of the US, (2) Communist China and (3) Communist North Korea. So, let’s just make sure we know who the extremists are on this issue.
The general rule, in democracies, is there is a period in which the state cannot intervene because of concerns for privacy; then, following this, the pregnancy can only be interrupted for a serious matter such as to save the life of the mother. In such a case, the primary concern is to save the mother, but a secondary concern is to save the child. Technically speaking, if the child doesn’t survive the procedure, it is not an abortion, because a dead baby wasn’t intended.
In my ROTC days, one of my fellow cadet’s mother gave her life so he could be brought into the world alive. There are saints among us, and I invite you to consider the words of Jesus Christ on this matter, that by giving up your life, you might gain your life. To fully live, you have to conquer death. But, sainthood is a choice. It cannot be compelled by law.
I’ve heard the same thing from other OBGYNs.
