[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How exactly is "emotional health" defined?[/quote]

By doctors. Not by you.[/quote]

It’s a medical decision between a woman and her doctor. END OF STORY.

It sounds more and more like a BUSINESS decision for the abortion doctors. What doctor says no to a "procedure" the pays BIG bucks? Abortion doctors ain't going it for free. Believe me.[/quote]

You are right - 3rd trimester abortions cost the big bucks - typically 5-15K+.  They take several days and typically include going out of state and missing work.  It’s not done on a whim.  Any pregnant women who can afford that sum of money and is just getting an abortion because they don’t want the baby is generally able to get an abortion at a much earlier (and cheaper) stage.  Generally anyone who is willing to pay $10K +  is in a pretty desperate situation - mostly severe maternal depression/psychosis or non-viability or serious anomaly of the baby or life-threatening complications of pregnancy.

Why so much?  50% of clinic costs often go toward security - security staff, bulletproof glass and the clinic building itself.

An extended family member (very pro-life) sought an 8th month abortion when  that baby turned out to be anencephalic - no higher brain developed, only a brainstem.  The baby could have been born and lived as much as several years. Parents chose termination and went on to have 4 other healthy children.  I personally cannot imagine if the state had prohibited their choice.[/quote]
