20-week abortion ban vote coming in the Senate. Physician schools Mitch McConnell on fetal pain...

20. Finally, a doctor speaks out -- to the public, to the religious and to politicians.

There are many reasons to have an abortion.

I had a friend who carried a dead baby insider her until she lost it in a toilet in a hospital. Yes. She lost it in the hospital toilet (not in the US). She refused to have an abortion, and the dead baby just aborted itself. Carrying a dead baby in you can lead to sepsis and poisoning the doctors told her. It was her doctors who insisted that she at least go to the hospital where they could watch her.

Men who stand around and complain about abortion and have never, themselves given birth or known the pain or rare but very real dangers that pregnancy can mean for a woman should keep their opinions to themselves.

I can't stand those men. And the women who never have serious problems in their pregnancies should be quiet too because they don't know what they are talking about.

I don't have diabetes, but I certainly don't go around judging people who do and who adjust their diets accordingly. Sometimes things go wrong. Sometimes pregnancies go very wrong. Women alone have to make the decision whether to have an abortion or to risk a problematic pregnancy. I hate to be so harsh about this, but men like McConnell should just shut up about abortion. It's none of their business. It is between a woman and her doctor.
