Show me a single situation where a mother’s life is in danger, and only an abortion (as opposed to a c-section) will save her.
I was thinking the same thing. I keep hearing this thrown around, but have never, ever heard of one such case. I’m all ears (proverbially).
“Show me a single situation where a mother’s life is in danger, and only abortion will save her”.
The only exception that I could see is an ectopic pregnancy. Some can debate it is an abortion; however, I would disagree. For one, the fetus is usually deformed beyond any sort of viability. Secondly, it can’t be transplanted into the uterus. Third, the fetus will die no matter what so the surgery is done to prevent the death of the Mother as well. That is the only case that I can think of and it shouldn’t be banned.
“Show me a single situation where a mother’s life is in danger, and only an abortion (as opposed to a c-section) will save her.”
The “Life of the Mother (Murderer) Exception is a loophole so large that a pregnant mother at eight and a half months could walk straight through it to get a Partial Birth Abortion.
And what you will see if there is a Life of the Mother Exemption is women saying “If I have my baby, I will commit suicide.” and doctors will then assist these women in having abortions.
The left loves to present false dilemmas. I lived in Germany in the 1980s and my German wife told me that abortion there at that time was supposed to be only to protect the mother’s life. This stipulation got stretched to psychological well being and meant that, in practice, if the mother said that the thought of having a baby depressed her she could get an abortion. That is exactly how the mother’s life in danger canard will be stretched anywhere it is accepted.
It’s not the life of the mother. It’s the lifestyle of the mother.
Actually, that very situation happened to me. I was a mushy-headed 19-year-old when I became pregnant by the man I was living with. He said that if I kept "it" I could find a new place to live. When I went to Planned Barrenhood they told me that "it" was "only tissue" and that I "could always have a baby later." I chose to have an abortion. I married the man I was living with. I became pregnant again a year later. He reacted the same way, but I told him I was keeping "it."
At 10 weeks (as God in his mercy would have it, the same age as my aborted baby) I was brought to Emergency for surgery to remove the baby and the fallopian tube which was bursting and killing me. The baby had been trapped in my fallopian tube as a direct result of my abortion, and that baby and tube had to be removed. There was simply no choice. As a result of my abortion, and of this and one other serious surgery (both related to it), I am now completely barren and childless.
Most doctors, including the converted Catholic abortionist who is responsible for the dissemination of so much info on this subject, Bernard Nathanson, do not refer to the removal of my fallopian tube and 10-week-old baby as "abortion." But the confusion of such terms on this heated topic is a way to get sound-bites of lies into the minds of a public unwilling or unable to investigate further.
When I was 29 I became born again by the power of the Name of Jesus Christ. I realized at that time that 1) I had murdered my own child by choosing abortion, 2) that Jesus died for that sin, too, and 3) I have two babies in heaven.
