(53,239 posts)When the choices are:
(1) Dead fetus plus dead mother, which would have happened if they didn't induce labor
or
(2) Dead fetus and live mother, which was the result of them inducing labor
then, obviously, the only logical choice is number 2.
But Frothy Rick wants to take choice number 2 away from all women, and that fucking idiot Ron Paul is running around the country claiming he's never seen a case where an abortion was necessary to save the life of the mother. Which makes me wonder what he calls what he did to clear an ectopic pregnancy (19.7 per 1000 pregnancies in the US, and accounts for 10 to 15 percent of all maternal deaths, according to http://www.aafp.org/afp/2000/0215/p1080.html, so if he was an obstetrician for more than a week he's seen one), because there are three ways one of these can go: it can end in miscarriage, you can abort it, or the tube it's lodged in can burst and the mother potentially bleeds to death.
