re: #45 American Sabra

I found this quote from Dr. Tiller in one of the articles which I liked.

I don’t know much about Dr. Tiller’s practice, but from what I’ve read, his late term abortions were because the fetus was not healthy. And as my own observation, caring for a special needs child is extremely costly and healthcare is not a luxury many have or can afford. Change healthcare and maybe you’ll have more people, not just willing, but able to take care of special needs kids.

I’m stepping in here in dangerous waters, but you are also making unsupported statements. What would you do with, say a late term fetus that ultrasound discovered had nothing but fluids for a brain, but a functioning brain stem that kept a heart beating, and quite possibly other gross abnormalities that threatened the life or health of the mother, or perhaps not the latter?

Now I don’t know the statistics anymore than you appear to, but I am confident that I am not making up a once in a lifetime occurrence, and I have read of other situations that I would not like to have to describe in print.

Before Tiller is condemned here, even if by insinuation, I ask that you do the research first.
