The 9-year-old girl had been raped by her father. She was 18 weeks pregnant. Carrying the baby to term, going through labor and delivery, would have ripped her small body apart.
There was no doctor in her rural Southern town to provide her with an abortion. No area hospital would even consider taking her case.
Susan Hill, the president of the National Women’s Health Foundation, which operates reproductive health clinics in areas where abortion services are scarce or nonexisistent, called Dr. George Tiller, the Wichita, Kan., ob-gyn who last Sunday was shot to death by an abortion foe in the entry foyer of his church.
She begged.
“I only asked him for a favor when it was a really desperate story, not a semi-desperate story,” she told me this week. Tiller was known to abortion providers — and opponents — as the “doctor of last resort” — the one who took the patients no one else would touch.
“He took her for free,” she said. “He kept her three days. He checked her himself every few hours. She and her sister came back to me and said he couldn’t have been more wonderful. That’s just the way he was.”
The value of life seems to actually be on the decline, maybe due to over crowding and underfunding. What I find strange is the non religious people are the ones most adamant about abortions. If there is no afterlife you'd think they try to defend every life anytime at all cost because you only get one and you aren't recycled, at least not in the spiritual sense.
Murder in any case is wrong. There is no excuse good enough IMO. Genetic engineering doesn't do it for me just like "the final solution" didn't do it in the past.
Is that your justification for the 1,599,000 other murders of innocent children?
How do you know she would have died? Do you think she would have had a 10lb. baby????
Oh for the love of mercy...just answer the damn question without bringing in all the other "unnecessary" abortions you suppose he performed. More than one OB/GYN was convinced she couldn't continue without great risk...you are not the expert here.
I'll ask this once more...no more excuses from you anti's please.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE WHO LEGITIMATELY NEED ABORTIONS AFTER WEEK 21 IF THERE ARE NOT DR'S AROUND TO DO THEM?
