[quote=Anonymous]This is a story for the pro-lifers. You tell me what you would have done.

I use to be and ER RN in a border state in this country. Woman came in to the ER with a prolapsed uterus...look it up not a good thing. She had 7 children with her and her husband. They were in age range of 11-18 months old. This woman was mentally beaten down. Her husband answered all questions for her as the kids ran around her room. She was also having acute left lower abd pain. Found out that pain was an ectopic pregnancy. So doctors tell her what is going to happen to resolve the pregnancy and to fix the prolapsed uterus. So her husband chimes in and doesn't want the ectopic pregnancy dealt with because it is "his" baby as he put it and he wants to make sure the prolapsed uterus is fixed so she can have some more kids. Doctors explain that with an ectopic pregnancy she will die if it is allowed to continue. Other things noted on this woman, old bruises on arms and back. Chart showed she had a history of "Falling" with multiple broken bones. Husband decides it is ok to fix the ectopic pregnancy but wants absolute assurance that she will be able to have more kids. Through out all this the woman maybe utters 3 words, mostly yes and no answers. She was shipped off to the OR and admitted not sure how it all ended. BTW...true story

In circumstances like this, if she gets pregnant again, and from husband sounds like he is going to try his best to see to it that that happens, would you say she should not be allowed to have an abortion? [/quote]
