What a cowardly cop-out.....
Try this on for reality......
Abortion is practically never necessary to save a mother's life. Its not 1492 or ......its 2010 and the C-section procedure has been around since the days of Rome
That you for your unqualified medical opinion, Dr Bravo.
"Dr. Papa deals specifically with high-risk pregnancies. Patients are referred to her by their OB-GYN's because of conditions that threaten the life or health of the mother or the baby. Dr. Papa discussed the case of one thirty-year-old woman, both of whose parents had a history of heart attacks. This woman, herself, had a heart attack in which her cardiac tissue was damaged. She desperately wanted to have her baby, but after careful examination and many diagnostic tests, Dr. Papa determined that she could not carry the child to viability without a high probability of her own death. Suddenly this poor woman and her husband were plummeted into a world where, instead of choosing baby names and nursery furniture, they were making a date to be admitted to the hospital for a medically necessary abortion.
Another woman was found to have severely enlarged arteries near the heart, a condition of which she was unaware before she became pregnant. She, too, underwent a medically necessary abortion even though she, too, really wanted to have her baby.
In another case, it was determined that the baby lacked a cranium-- it did not have a brain. The woman had a choice of carrying the child to term, knowing that it would die shortly after birth, or having an abortion."

What say we listen to the medical doctor that specializes in high risk pregnancies, mkay?
I didn't say they were the majority, or that it was even common.
