Pro life CRAP on FB

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:

'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.'

So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?'

She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.

Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.'

The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!'

'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.'

The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!

Love says, 'I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person.' Abortion says, 'I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself.'

Anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together knows that those things aren't the same... and I would have sued that doctor, although I'm sure this story is entirely fictional for that reason.

When part way through pregnancy the doctor says one twin is not developing right, will never survive outside the womb and is threatening the viability of the healthy twin? What then? No abortion means you sacrifice a healthy baby doesn't it?

Why did the doctor say don't worry about the cost of raising and educating this child you are pregnant with now, my prolife friends and I provide for the child, we will be glad to do so.

they're pro foetus is all. I think the distinction should be pro choice & anti choice.

His oncologist told him, you have a large tumor growing inside you. I can either cut out the cancer or cut your dick off. It's all the same, because they're both comprised of living human cell tissue, right? No difference whatsoever. A living cell is a living cell without distinction, right, Doc?

"God" has killed many babies in the womb. He has also killed many women in the process of giving birth - and in the process killed many of the babies as well. Science has been able to protect the life of both the mother and the baby in many. many cases. Even in the case of midwives, they are trained when to know when "something is wrong" and a doctor's intervention is needed.

In the example given above, the WOMAN HAD THE CHOICE. I may disagree with the way that the doctor described the situation, but the final decision was still UP TO THE WOMAN.

finally, I just want to say that if you really want to lower the abortion rate, then you need to embrace birth control and sex education. I'm not just saying this - it has been proven over and over again. Not just once - over and over again.
