Woman dies after refusing life-saving abortion

And this is an example of a great post that lauds the decision without deriding the "liberals" who may or may not share a pro-choice stance

Pro-choice/pro-life do not split between liberal and conservative fully - admittedly there are more pro-choice people with a liberal view and more conservatives with a pro-choice view but it is not exclusive to each side of the debate.

This is more noted in countries other than America where religion has less influence on politics

 

Apropos of nothing

 

Very appropriate when liberals are insulting a woman for not killing her baby, to save her own life.

This sorry SOB in the video is the perfect figurehead / soulmate for that kind of outlook.

 

No, it did not.

 

lib humor (and religion)

 

Leftys aint much on REALITY, huh???

 

Maybe in some convulated way...lol. The woman's decision was the correct one. Just b/c a doctor tells you that you may die, doesn't mean you are guaranteed to die. Its a game of averages. That is what the doctor gives you.

Doctors aren't fortune tellers.

Again, define "threatened". To broad a term for this issue. Driving a car down the road could be a threat.

Where did she say that?

Such wonderful logic here on this one. Pathetic really.

 

since this comment is divorced from the one quoted once again the term "apropos of nothing seems fitting

 

No problem, one dies one lives, life goes on.

 

Why is it that Liberals are against "Freedom of Choice" when the choice made is the life of the baby?

RIP

 

the baby does not know what it is missing it is okay if it has to die to save the mother

she has more to lose because she already established a life

 

Sounds like the lady was pro-death. Freedom of choice is a good thing. This is part of evolution. Regarless if religion does not believe in it.

 

yes, liberals are against reproduction....brilliant conclusion

 

So now she is a pro-death just because she didn't chosed the way you would have expected/wanted?

 

Exactlly, she had her life, short maybe but she had it.
What gives you the right to take this chance from someone else in order to save yours?

 

By your standard it is better to offer a dying 90 year old life over an infant.

The lady was offered the choice of her life or her child's life. Most good parents are selfless and would choose the child, most Liberals are selfish and would choose themselves and let their babies die.

All that being said, I am pro-choice.

 

That was her choice. I would sacrifice my life for my children, so I understand.

 

I think you're missing the point. Nobody could force her to have an abortion and it was her choice to go ahead with the pregnancy knowing the dangers.

Pro-lifers would have made the choice FOR HER that she could NOT have an abortion knowing she would likely die if she went ahead with the pregnancy.

That's what "choice" is - the choice to go ahead with a pregnancy even if it's dangerous, or the choice NOT to if it's dangerous and you know you could die.

This woman didn't have other children. If she did, she might have made the choice that it was better to have the abortion than to leave another child without a mother for somebody else to raise. As it is, she left the child she sacrificed her life for without a mother and to be raised by somebody else - a child with serious medical problems from the sounds of it.

 

Don't they do kidney transplants in the UK medical system?

Edit after further research, she changed her dialysis method so she could go home, then the doctors warned her she needed to go back to a different method, she may not have followed their advice.

I think the bottom line is she should not have gotten pregnant in the first place, she was a type 1 with complications since childhood.

 

missing the point babies don't know anything they don't feel anything their brains aren't developed the woman had more to lose

also senior citizens don't give birth

 

Pro-Lifers have never opposed abortion to save the life of the mother. Why do you attempt to paint it otherwise?

 

Perception - if you read the thread there are many who think the choice was correct and many who do not - interestingly the spread of opinions cross political lines

 

A nobel thing to do. 'Course, I consider suicide to be ignoble. What do pro-lifers think about suicide?

 

Are there babies in the womb committing suicide or something?

 

Yes, they have. One state even passed a law outlawing abortion with no provision for the health/life of the mother that was deemed unconstitutional for that reason.
