[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, “elective” is also a fraught term 
[/quote]

Birthing children is fraught.  You do not need to involve yourself in other women's reproductive decisions.  You have your own fraught reproductive journey so concern yourself with that.  Your birthing issues are none of my business.[/quote]

I was arguing with the person who was parsing the term abortion.

“Elective” doesn’t actually get into the nuances, either. Not all of the abortions that might fit under this term are done because the person just doesn’t want to be pregnant.

I’m With you that we shouldn’t be involving ourselves in any of it. This should all be up to the person that is pregnant and their doctor(s)[/quote]

Ironic, the people posting here don’t agree with this woman’s right to choose to be pregnant. [/quote]

I wasn’t arguing this case as it sounds like a lot more than just the pregnancy contributed to her death. She of course did have a right to make her own decision. I mean, maybe if her docs had been allowed to talk about her options, it could have made a difference, but we’ll never know. This is definitely not like the Kate Cox case.[/quote]

“Leticia wasn’t as sure, recalling something Yeni said in passing after her improvement in the Austin I.C.U.: that if a doctor had to choose between saving her or saving Selene, her daughter should come first. Leticia had responded, half in jest, “And who exactly is going to take care of Selene?” “Well, you, Mami!” Yeni said.

“Me?” Leticia teased. “If you leave, you better take Selene with you!” Laughing, the women laid the subject to rest, never to discuss it again.“

The solution to this issue was not for this one woman to abort her baby.

The solution would have been for her to be supported by her husband and family and receive the medical care she needed.

Even if she had aborted her baby against her will, how would that help the next woman with a high risk pregnancy? So going forward: all women with high risk pregnancies will routinely have abortions as a solution? That’s the solution: abortion.

Abortion is not a solution. [/quote]
