There are a lot of problems with this article again, after the Tiller murder. But let me just draw attention to one of those problem areas and that’s Vicki Saporta of the National Abortion Federation dryly claiming these late term abortions on wanted babies are done for the health of the mother:
What made Dr. Tiller unusual was that he specialized in seeing women who found out late in very wanted pregnancies that they were carrying fetuses with anomalies that were incompatible with life,” Saporta said. “For them, there was really no good choice. They needed to terminate their pregnancies to protect their own health, and he provided both the emotional and physical care for women in that situation.”
And what makes Vicki Saporta so “unusual” is that as a pretend advocate for women’s rights–she should be well aware of the body of literature suggesting without a doubt that where wanted babies are killed, their moms suffer afterwards as a result. If the American Psychological Association actually reports this as a finding–and there’s not much that makes abortion “look bad” that they will report, trust me–then we know it is true.

“While he was United States Surgeon General, Dr. C. Everett Koop stated publicly that in his thirty-eight years as a pediatric surgeon, he was never aware of a single situation in which a preborn child’s life had to be taken in order to save the life of the mother. He said the use of this argument to justify abortion in general was a ‘smoke screen.'”

All the cases that present as medically necessary are therefore for the psychological health of the mother, which is how abortion crept into Canada and then moved into full-scale momentum.
Not to mention, any medical crises that develop after the point of viability can be resolved by premature delivery. That’s what’s done all the time for toxemia. It’s not optimal for babies to be induced prematurely, but if continuing the pregnancy really is a threat to the mother’s life or physical health, it beats being dismembered in utero. I can’t see how there is ever any medical case to be made for abortion in the third trimester.
Congratulations Andrea and Rebecca on finishing your opus magnus. Will the public be given access to this?
Rebecca,
Yup. I developed toxemia in my third trimester and had an emergency C-section. The result was a slightly early, but otherwise healthy, baby boy.
