[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think this decision would force parents to allow invasive medical care for infants that are born with severe medical problems?  I can see that happening.  If you forced me to give birth to a child I knew had very little chance, could you force me to make that child suffer through surgeries and other interventions after birth?

This is all so messed up.[/quote]
I doubt it. It's well-established that forced-birthers don't give a f** about babies after they are born.[/quote]

No more a fact than if I claimed that abortionists like you don't care if babies live or die.[/quote]

Actually completely different.  An embryo is not a baby.[/quote]

Fine. Abortionists like you can say you're pregnant with an embryo. Women i know say they're pregnant with a baby. [/quote]

I am pro-choice and my BIL was pro-life. We both call our pregnancies “the baby”.  One day, in SIL’s third trimester, BIL & SIL found out that the baby was developing without any brain.  There was no hope that the baby would ever do more than live in a vegetative state for an undetermined amount of time - days, weeks, months, maybe a couple of years at best.  The baby would require around the clock care-giving.  BIL and SIL chose to have an abortion.

People who have abortions sometimes are aborting babies - they are often wanted pregnancies until something goes catastrophically wrong.  BIL and SIL made the best possible choice for them and their future family, which includes 3 more babies that they had after their abortion. Babies that they never would have had but for abortion.

Abortion is pro-life, but it includes not only thinking about whether the baby lives or dies, but also what kind of quality of life the baby and family would have.

PP here. I'm very much in agreement that many abortions are needed and appropriate. I'm not opposed and think a woman and her doctor and the father of the baby (if involved) should decide. I'm opposed to abortions on demand [/quote]

Same.  I am fine with abortions up to 12 weeks, maybe a bit more. And abortions at any stage foe medical issues like this story. 5 years ago, I would have been considered pro choice.  But now, favoring any restrictions makes you prolife, so I guess thats where Im at now.  [/quote]

This argument is so disingenuous.  Who decides whether there is sufficient medical justification?  What standard do they have to meet?  What happens if the state decides to seize the woman’s medical records and disagrees with her doctor that there was sufficient medical reason.

I don’t actually expect answers to those questions, because people like you always dodge the hard questions.  It’s pathetic. [/quote]
