Missed the point...didn't you? Not surprising though, considering the fact that you read an online article so evidently short on facts and details, but yet you are johnny on the spot to condem and sit judgement on a deceased woman.

So an 8 month pregnant woman goes to the er with pain and bleeding or some other problem and they do nothing?

If something goes wrong at those clinics, they call 911 like everyone else and those women are transported to the ER. The ER is equipped to save lives.

Women would prefer to get their abortions in the ER, but for the morally black, they often need to go to clinics like this one.

I remember feeling my daughter kick like crazy when I was that far along. How can you feel your unborn child and then get an abortion?

I am usually neutral on this issue but I don't understand how someone can go through with a late term abortion like this one.
This is were most people draw the line......seems to never be the topic of debate, it's always first 4 weeks..........

Boy, you sure do make a lot of ASSumptions don't you? Here's a more likely scenario, to explain why she was able to travel to another clinic - maybe the fetus was already dead inside the womb? If that were the case (and unlike you I'll say this is merely SPECULATION), she would have at least a few days to find the right doctor.

Yes, and it's also where the law draws the line... hence the reason most of us are thinking it was medically-related, but without more information everyone here is speculating. Bottom line, you can't just "choose to abort" at 33 weeks. End of story.

Will you people READ the article before commenting?

She never even got to see the doctor, let alone start an abortion: "Her attempts to reach Carhart were unsuccessful." She walked into the clinic already extremely sick--so bad that the local ER couldn't even save her OWN life.

This article isn't about abortion, it's about how some women are not educated enough to seek professional help BEFORE the situation turns irreversible tragic.

They would do what they could, I imagine, but if the situation were less time-restrictive (like the scenario I suggested above), they would be recommended to another doctor - one who was specifically trained in performing late-term abortions, in hopes of reducing risk to the mother and/or baby.

Women with a stillbirth can go to the ER right away. I don't make "ASSumptions" I talk from a point of knowledge.

Again, I disagree with Abortion, I disagree with the OP's message, even more. We know not why this was performed, without further information, to cast aspersions, is inane.
