That's proof the Slippery Slope is not always a fallacy.

Liberals swore up and down abortions would be limited to the 1st Trimester, then next thing you know it's the 2nd Trimester, then partial-birth abortions, now this, and they're trying to make available for all Trimesters.

Excepting of course the OP provides nothing factual in support of the allegations made.

Do you trust any doctor who is willing to agree to have a perfectly healthy baby to die due to not feeding or caring for that baby?

Sorry, but any doctor who is willing to allow that to happen, to me is a doctor I want to stay far away from!

JMO!
Sure, and let us know if you hear of any such doctors. Okay?

What's True
The New York state legislature passed a law allowing abortions after 24 weeks if the mother's health is at risk or there is an absence of fetal viability.

What's False
The law does not allow for unrestricted abortion up through the normal term of pregnancy.

The real slippery slope is when a mother dies because she was denied a life saving pregnancy termination!

Quote:
Performing a late-term abortion had previously been a felony in New York, which as the Syracuse Post-Standard observed, “had a chilling effect on doctors in New York who were reluctant to provide abortions after 24 weeks when the mother’s life was in danger or the fetus was no longer viable. In a widely reported case, one New York woman had to travel to Colorado to terminate her pregnancy.

What is your definition of a "healthy baby"?? Just physically healthy and breathing on its own?

I am kind of puzzled here. If the mother doesn't want her baby after she gives birth to it... why not put it up for adoption? But if the baby is born with a birth defect such as Downs Syndrome, then so what if the baby is aborted? Or during the birthing process, there is brain damage due a complication, or the baby is discovered to have microcephaly from the mother having been infected with the Zika virus, then why should the parents and society have to be that baby's caretaker for their entire lives and at great cost to the family and society.

The same people who are against abortion, for any reason, are also against supporting the child's medical care.


This baby was rescued at birth. Medicaid paid for 22 months in an intensive care, countless surgeries, and will pay for his ongoing home care as the 22 month old is ventilator dependent and must get nutrition through a tube placed in his stomach.

Quote:
Jacob had a birth defect named omphalacele. His intestines, liver, and parts of his stomach were outside of his body.
Quote:
Jacob was born with undeveloped lungs, and months would be needed to expand and grow the extra skin he would need to eventually close his abdomen.
Quote:
Twenty-two months went by, the longest anyone at Medical City Dallas can remember for a preemie baby to finally get the chance to go home.

Unfortunately, I can't give out enough karma for just about every post in this thread...

Because even developmentally-disabled people are human beings?

But that's not what this is about.
