re: #240 Alouette

I’m thinking of emergency situations where a late pregnancy has to be terminated. That could be done by emergency c-section or induced delivery.

i heard a young woman speak on the radio several months ago,
(i think it was hannity.)
she was a botched abortion.
literally a baby that survived the saline abortion attempt to terminate her life.
she was born alive and allowed to live. adopted by a family and is a spokesperson against late term abortion and a proponent for the ‘infant born alive protection act.’
her birth mother was a 17 yr. old girl who decided at 8 1/2 months pg. she didn’t want to be a mother. her boyfriend had run off.
her explanation for late term abortions is that most are not necessary. if a woman is at least 8 mos. along, then the baby can be delivered often w/ less complications than an abortion would cause.

this woman was 33 yrs. old, iirc.
i guess then, if a baby survived the abortion,
it didn’t occur to a doctor to let it die once it was born and breathing.
interesting how times change.
and our modern ideas abt. the sanctity of life.
