Apparently OB/GYNs should be FORCED to perform abortions.

I'm of the position that it should be the doctor's choice.

Of course, the pro-choicers say that the doctor shouldn't have a right to choose.

No doctor should be forced to perform an operation they do not wish to do. The very suggestion is absurd. I support women's right to have an abortion if they wish for one, but doctors should not be forced into it against their will.

Mandatory abortions. Every woman should have at least one. All in the name of choice!

It will come to pass that hospitals that recieve federal funding (medicare/medicade) will be forced to provide reproductive services including birth control and abortions.  Will be interesting seeing how the masses feel when large %'s of the hospitals stop accepting medicare/Medicaid because they are Catholic/religious based.

I suspect eventually the attempt to force the Dr will also come.
––-
Austin hospitals are Seton (Catholic), Brackenridge (operated under contract by Seaton, since Austin was incapable of doing it themselves) and St. Davids.  The only non-religious are the Heart Hospital and the Children's Hospital (and they might have religious ties well)

There was a fairly substantial fight when the city contracted Brack with Seton.  Ultimately Seton manages everything but a "Hospital within a Hospital" that handles the parts of reproductive services that the Church considers unethical.

Since when are law enforcement officers FORCED to do something they find morally objectionable?



Traffic enforcement not = to killing unborn babies.

Apples, meet oranges.  Abortion is a highly debatable issue on moral grounds.  Medical services are just that - services.  Free choice cuts both ways.  That someone has the education & training to perform medical procedures (ie. services) in no way obligates them to perform them.  If you don't have the education & training to provide for your own wants, then maybe you should hit the books instead of holding out your hand & demanding that your desired services (which you would deem as your "rights") be catered at your beck & calling.

But that said, here's a free dose of edumacation for you: police can exercise discretion in enforcing the laws.  Legally, they do not have to issue a single ticket if they choose.

This is what I don't get about you people.

Is it so hard to understand, that, if given the fact that another person genuinely believe abortion is murder, that they would be pissed off about it?

If being pissed off about murder makes me a fanatic, then HALLEFUCKINGLUYA MOTHERFUCKER.

Why don't you prove to me that abortion is not murder, rather than trying to change the focus to your ad hominem attack.  That's right, you can't.


So we'll just take the chance that we are murdering children because it makes life easy and easier to pretend your conscience clear.  Good luck with that "Zan".

No woman "should" get an abortion, that notion is just ludicrous when you consider the emotional and physical damage it causes to her.

Why should an innocent child have to die because of the rapist's crime?

Is the abortion really going to make things better for the woman?  Make everything like it was before?  How can killing the child help her with the healing process?

Why not allow abortion for rape pregnancies?

We must approach this with great compassion. The woman has been subjected to an ugly trauma, and she needs love, support and help. But she has been the victim of one violent act. Should we now ask her to be a party to a second violent act -that of abortion? Unquestionably, many would return the violence of killing an innocent baby for the violence of rape. But, before making this decision, remember that most of the trauma has already occurred. She has been raped. That trauma will live with her all her life. Furthermore, this girl did not report for help, but kept this to herself. For several weeks or months, she has thought of little else. Now, she has finally asked for help, has shared her upset, and should be in a supportive situation.

The utilitarian question from the mother’s stand-point is whether or not it would now be better to kill the developing baby within her. But will abortion now be best for her, or will it bring her more harm yet? What has happened and its damage has already occurred.

She’s old enough to know and have an opinion as to whether she carries a "baby" or a "blob of protoplasm." Will she be able to live comfortably with the memory that she "killed her developing baby"? Or would she ultimately be more mature and more at peace with herself if she could remember that, even though she became pregnant unwillingly, she nevertheless solved her problem by being unselfish, by giving of herself and of her love to an innocent baby, who had not asked to be created, to deliver, perhaps to place for adoption, if she decides that is what is best for her baby. Compare this memory with the woman who can only look back and say, "I killed my baby."


"Interestingly, the pregnant rape victim’s chief complaint is not that she is unwillingly pregnant, as bad as the experience is. The critical moment is fleeting in this area. It frequently pulls families together like never before. When women are impregnated through rape, their condition is treated in accordance, as are their families.

"We found this experience is forgotten, replaced by remembering the abortion, because it is what they did." M. Uchtman, Director, Suiciders Anonymous, Report to Cincinnati City Council, Sept. 1, 1981

"In the majority of these cases, the pregnant victim’s problems stem more from the trauma of rape than from the pregnancy itself."  Mahkorn & Dolan, "Sexual Assault & Pregnancy." In New Perspectives on Human Abortion, University Publishers of Amer., 1981, pp. 182-199 239

As to what factors make it most difficult to continue her pregnancy, the opinions, attitudes, and beliefs of others were most frequently cited; in other words, how her loved ones treated her. Mahkorn, "Pregnancy & Sexual Assault." In Psychological Aspects of Abortion, University Publishers of Amer., 1979, pp. 53-72

heres something to think about.
1.a woman can have a abortion if she wants, unborn baby is not a person.  legal
2. someone intentionally hurts a pregnant woman and unborn baby dies, many states will prosecute unborn baby death as murder.

      im not saying im for or against abortion, but either a unborn baby is a person, or its not. you cant have it both ways.
