With the exception of an ectopic pregnancy, and that has already been explained better than I could, give me a situation where the mother’s life is in danger, and the only option is killing the child.
No its not Catholicism. What is complete and utter nonsense. There is actually no source whatsoever for the 82 women have died number other than the unsubstantiated assertions of Planned Parenthood international and other abortion advocacy groups. Pro abortion propaganda at its worst
Zerinus,
But the sources you cited invented them.
I don’t know, I am not a doctor. Apparently there are other situations. Some infants die prematurely in the womb. If not removed it can cause infections and endanger the life of the mother. I am sure there are other situations that a doctor can think of. Pregnancy is a complicated process, all kinds of things can go wrong.
If the infant died in the womb then removing it would not be an abortion would it?
It was not bad medical practice. She was told in the hospital that she had an ectopic pregnancy, which meant that she would die if it was not terminated. She was also told that they could not carry out the procedure because it had been made illegal. She had no choice but to go to quack doctor, who had her killed.
But the first article said that the procedure was not illegal. The doctors told her wrong. It wasn’t the fault of the law but of the doctors. Read the whole article. I quoted the revelant portion in my PP.
So you’re basing the argument the we as Catholics view the mother’s life as worthless on supposition. Do you have any argument based on real data?
If you can save someone’s life, but deliberately refuse to do so, that is murder.
Is not killing an unborn child murder as well?
Deliberate no. The doctor can do what he can to save a mother and child’s life if situations worsten during pregnancy. The doctor would not be guilty of murder if the mother dies of complications.
If you are able to save someone’s life, but refuse to do so, that is murder.
Like Mormons do to the souls of infants by not baptizing them
Depends, Zerinus. You can only do so much to save someone’s life. Fer instance, let’s say some fella held a gun to someone and told you to commit apostacy to save their life. Could you do it?
Not if the saving of that life involves the murder of an innocent person.
