Explaining a second trimester abortion to Congress from a doctor who formerly performed abortions.

This is what half of America wants. Does that include you?

Based upon emotion and I can understand his feelings because of what he had endured in the death of his own child. He is thinking of his own personal feelings.

But I still think a woman's life, livelihood, and dignity should come first before forcing her to give birth. I support abortion up to three months. But I support it later on in cases of rape, incest, or if the child has something seriously wrong and will probably die anyway, or if it threatens the life of the mother.

I also strongly support sex education in schools and methods of birth control. A lot of women and fetuses are going to die if abortions are denied to them--the woman will try to abort anyway. That's a lot worse and more dangerous than allowing a doctor to do it. The woman has feelings too.

I am not pro abortion - think it’s not something I could ever do- but I think it’s her right to decide. As for term- I think only 1st trimester unless illness of some sort or a person like a young preteen wouldn’t even know. Be surprised what some know and what some are clueless. With rape n incest let the woman or girl choose for Pete’s sake .

She had the idiotic right to choose to have unprotected sex. Actions have consequences.

I find it suspicious that the reasons WHY those abortions were done was never mentioned.

Pro-lifers being deceptive.....AGAIN.....ho hum, so what else is new?

Examples of 2cd term abortions and WHY they are done.

“Your son won’t make it past delivery.”

We seemed to be on our way with a healthy pregnancy when the thunderbolt struck. I was 12 weeks pregnant with my first child. During what we thought was a routine checkup, we found out that my first son, my loved and waited for child, would be born with cloacal exstrophy. His lower abdominal wall had not formed correctly. Instead, a mass of organs as big as his head had formed between his little legs. In the ultrasound, I could barely see his legs and his tiny feet looked already clubbed. His spinal cord was tethered; he would never walk or have a functioning bladder or bowels.

Would I personally have a second trimester abortion? Only if my life was in danger or if it was likely that the fetus would die before term or the baby would die at/shortly after delivery.

Do I want to stop other women from consulting with their doctors and making their own medical decisions? Of course not. It's not up to ME to decide what some other person should do; that's a decision that is between a woman and her doctor. Period.

More than half of abortions are performed on women who were on birth control at the time.

And once again, there it is, not even 5 posts in again and the real motivation for prolifers comes out, it’s to punish the woman for you disagreeing with her sexual practices.

Ahhh..the "children as punishment" argument.

People who actually love and care about children and life prefer that all babies born are wanted.

An an abortion can be considered as much as a “consequence” as your daughter is to you, when you made the “idiotic” choice to have unprotected sex.
