re: #469 Fearless Fred

It’s not about what I believe. It was a sincere question. I thought hospitals were where you’d go for a ‘medical necessity’ to potentially save your life. Wouldn’t the hospital bring in whatever type specialist is required - including someone like Tiller? Wouldn’t a real hospital be better at this work than some little clinic like Tiller’s.

This question was addressed in my post #393:

Because a lot of those hospitals (and physiciians connected with them) will not perform late term abortions, even to prevent serious and lasting injury to the woman, because they are afraid of the radical antiabortion gestapo - and with very good reason.

Sal: and let me add that because of the threat of such murders as that of Dr. Tiller, there are only a handful of doctors nationwide who will perform late-term necessity abortions. Quite simply, those few brave physicians can’t be spending their time flying all over the US for the hundreds of late-term abortions per year per doctor that are medically necessary, and still help all the women who desperately need it. It is only by having these women themselves fly to central locations for their procedures can the deaths of many of them from lethal pregnancies be avoided.
