As to my OB being all knowing, it is not the case, however I don't know a single OB who will not induce labor (delivering baby whole) to save the mother.

"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 45 million abortions have been performed in the United States since the 1973 Supreme Court rulings of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Those court cases struck down all existing state laws prohibiting abortion.

An estimated 1 million abortion operations are now performed each year in this country, which breaks down to nearly 3,000 a day. Based on CDC abortion monitoring, the nation’s abortion rate peaked in 1990, when 1,429,247 legal abortions were reported, after which the number of annual abortions decreased for about a decade before leveling off in 2000 and remaining relatively unchanged since then. Planned Parenthood’s internal number is consistently higher than the CDC’s statistics. In 2005, 233 abortions took place for every 1,000 live births.

Planned Parenthood data places the percentage of abortions performed due to rape or incest at 1 percent, abortions due to fetal abnormalities at 1 percent, abortions due to concerns for the mother’s health at 3 percent and abortions as a means of birth control at 95 percent."


To answer your question, I believe the doctor performs the best alternative to keep the health of the mother and baby.

I have had two, one 12 weeks ago, so I do know what they entail.

If I had a choice between two procedures, one major surgery and one less invasive, I would choose the least invasive every time.

So what you are saying is your feelings about abortion trump my feelings about abortion, to the extent of not letting me have autonomy over my body?

>>As I have stated before, if the mother's life is in danger, the OB can/will save the mom.

Delivering a baby and giving it every medical chance at life is absolutely different than chopping it to pieces and never having a chance.
