Uh, no. You asked "With the advances in technology, what medical reason necessitates murdering a viable baby, that couldn't have been detected in the first trimester?"

I responded "lots of them", meaning lots cannot be detected in the first trimester. Most are picked up in the second trimester.

You're right, I actually should have written first and second, that's what I meant, sorry. Tiller was 1 of only 3 abortion doctors in the entire nation that murdered babies after the 21st month, i.e 3rd trimester and viable outside of the womb.

Ectopic Pregnancy


While there are specific markers for Down's Syndrome babies, other anomalies are not detectable by either bloodwork or sonogram until an advanced stage of the pregnancy. Please read the links, which provide clear medical evidence of clinical necessity...unless you believe that the
fetus is more important than the mother...who often has other children. Are women so disposable? Seen only as incubators? I actually had an ectopic pregnancy which ruptured myself; my left fallopian tube just exploded. I lost both the tube and the corresponding ovary...talk about
pain, and I very nearly died. If I'd had a clue, I would certainly have had an abortion. Would you have had me die to "protect" a fetus that was lost when the tube burst anyway? There are more shades of gray in every issue than things being simply black and white, and diametrically opposed.
I am very sorry to hear you went through that.

I would also have an abortion if I knew I was in this situation.

Sadly, yes. There are some people who expect you to die for the child. It is the "honorable" and "right thing to do". Some people are against abortion even in cases of your life being in danger.

Some "prolifers" dont care about you or the baby after it is born. Some do, some don't.

They are "prolife" until the baby is born.

I expect that to be the case for some people who pretend to occupy the moral high ground only until a situation occurs that involves their own health.

My wife gave up her own life for that our unborn child could have life.

I wouldn't expect that to be common.

It's a little more common than some would believe.
