I would prefer that to sending them to a place where they kill the baby.Would you recommend that women are sent to a clinic to deliver their baby that has no qualified or experienced staff?Does it take a specialist to deliver a baby? I have delivered a baby and I am far from a specialist.Would that not be considered woman's health?
Yes, it would. But they don't cover all aspects of woman's health. They do not do chemotherapy for breast, uterine, or ovarian cancer for example. Once something requires a specialist - that is where the woman needs to be. With whomever provides the best care for that situation.
Crikey.
If they want to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy, you going to tell them no? You going to tell a ten year old girl who was raped that she has to have the baby?
Even at five months presenting with stomach pains, the fetus could have been terminated as her body was too small. I'm glad she came through it with a c-section a few weeks early, but should not have had to go through it at all.
If the church does not believe the fetus has a soul till after the third month who do so many seem to hold to the idea that life begins at conception? Even the UN urged to allow the child to have an abortion at the time. Second young rape victim the pope said should give birth. The other had the abortion, this girl was not allowed to. And yet, the pope gave absolution to woman who had abortions during the holy year. How does this make sense?
There has a been outrage over this from around the world. Churches might have to reconsider their stand, especially for rape victims. If the bible permits and the church does not acknowledge a fetus having a soul till after the first trimester, why should there be an objection morally. Legally in the US, it is none of their damn business.
There are exceptions for ectopic pregnancy and for the health of the woman, why not for rape?
Why should the church or any religion be involved in the decision? They can offer guidance, if asked, but they should not be allowed to forbid abortions or any medical treatment or procedure.
