[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do any pregnancy care then? Why do ultrasounds? If things don't work out and the baby or mom does it's just meant to be, right?[/quote]
Because we have science. Again, your whataboutism doesn’t work here. [/quote]

Science that develop the shot for rh incapability? That same science? [/quote]
I don’t know why you can’t seem to understand that I’m not against people receiving the shot for Rh incompatibility once a child that is at risk has already been created. I’m not against modern medicine. I simply believe that Rh positive and Rh negative people are not meant to have children together.[/quote]

What is the meaning of “meant”? What entity is decreeing this? [/quote]
What I mean by that is that they’re incompatible. It has negative consequences that are only mitigated by Rhogam.[/quote]

DP. "Meant" is a term that comes with connotation as well as denotation. It implies intent or design.

I had my aortic heart valve replaced when I was 17, because the bicuspid, malformed valve had calcified and I was in critical heart failure. I wasn't "meant" to live. I think there is nothing wrong with using modern medicine to live anyway.

A three year old with acute lymphoblastic leukemia isn't "meant" to live by your rhetoric. 
1. Do you think it's okay for him to get chemotherapy and live a normal life?
2. He was preprogrammed to die before puberty, so would you say he wasn't "meant" to live until reproductive age and have children? Or do you think he wasn't "meant" to have children, and if so, what does that mean?[/quote]
!. Yes.
2. I need to stop using the word meant because that is not the message that I'm trying to convey. I cannot determine what is meant to happen. I can only infer based on what I know from looking at the facts.

Here's my question for you. Would you agree that Rh incompatibility (without the intervention of modern medicine) is disadvantageous to the survival and wellness of offspring?[/quote]

Sure, but ... we're not without the invention of modern medicine. You know that, right?

Other things that are disadventageous to the survival and wellness of offspring, but for which (hooray!) we now can deal with easily:

1. Near-sightedness
2. Allergy to strawberries
3. Propensity to get strep throat
4. Asthma
5. Imperforate hymen
6. Hernias

Any of these literally could lead to death in the 1300s. Guess what? They don't have to, and there isn't some magic intentionality we can appease by discouraging people with a propensity to developing strep throat from reproducing.[/quote]
Here's the point that I've been trying to make. If you know that you're Rh negative then by avoiding having a child with an Rh positive person, you completely eliminate the risk of Rh incompatibility and the need for Rhogam altogether. If you avoid heavily drinking alcohol, then you reduce (but not completely eliminate as it has other causes) your risk of cirrhosis of the liver and the need for a liver transplant.[b] I am all about trying to reduce or eliminate your risk (when possible) BEFORE you get to the point where you need medical intervention.
[/b]
If there was a definitive way to eliminate or reduce the risk of all of the things that you have listed BEFORE you get to the point where you need medical intervention, then I'd be all for it. Until then, it's like comparing apples to oranges.[/quote]

"Yeah, hey, you don't know me, but I just met your son while we were at the grocery store. He asked me out, but I wanted to check with you first, because I gotta know if he had a lot of strep throat infections as a child."
...
"No, I have to know. The La Jolla Institute for Immunology is pretty clear on their website that a combination of genetic and immunological factors makes some children susceptible to the bacteria that cause strep throat, and I had quite a few as a child."
...
"It's not a joke!"
...
"No, I am not crazy. I'm just well aware of my societal duty and take seriously my responsibility eliminate or reduce the risk of all of the things -- EVEN IF KIND OF BATS&*T TIDDLYWINKS IN THE MODERN ERA -- before it gets to the point where my future children might needANY MEDICAL INTERVENTION AT ALL, even if inconsequential."
...
"What? Hello? ... Hello? Did you hang up?"
