All pregnancies carry a risk, Darkdrake.

I see what this bill is. Too bad you don't. Would you like some wool over your eyes?

Answer the questions Fred, I am sure some of our lady FReepers wish to see your answer.

Once they become pregnant, is the mother's life worth less than the fetus'?

[Luis Gonzalez]

"This subsection does not apply to a partial-birth abortion that is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself."

Ladies, it seems that our friend Fred objects to this passage in the Partial Birth Abortion ban passed by Congress. I have questioned him on whether he believes that once a woman becomes pregnant, her life becomes secondary to the life of the fetus to the point where a PBA should not be performed, even if going through the pregnancy means a heightened risk of death to the mother.

I am interested in his answer. Are you all?
