Hey coldstream- my wife had to have 2 consecutive abortions (early term) cos the pregnancy was going to KILL her. I don't care about anyones "faith" or "beliefs" but if ANYONE had stepped in and tried to stop the docs from saving her by ending the obviously failed pregnancy, well let's just say she would not have been the only one to die either time (tho I guess if she'd died the first time the second wouldn't have happened and there'd be a tiny, deformed fetus on life supposrt somewheres along with a pile of dead fundies and one dead mabudon)
How about you elaborate on this a bit. My wife, with our last one, got puliminary embolisms (That's multiple blood clots in her lungs) at 12 weeks gestation. She had to go on 3 injections of heperain per day for the entire term. We were bombarded by our family GP up to 20 weeks, telling us we should abort because the risk to my wife AND the fetus were too great to continue the pregnancy....the original specialist quit when we refused to abort. My wife made it through the pregnancy and we ended up with an 8lb. 11 oz, 4 week early baby boy..... perfectly healthy, and Karrie can attest to how good a boy he is now..14 years later...... So...... doctors can say all kinds of things when it comes to abortion and pregnancy..... doesn't mean the "dire consequences" are really as "dire" as they like to predict.
