<< i would hate to be the guy having to perform all those abortions. what a miserable job that must be. >>
My sister is a OBGYN and one of the more elite hospitals in the country. during her internship, she was party to several abortions. Now keep in mind, all of them have to go through this. This is probably one of the most distrubing things that she has ever been a witness too. After her first one, she could not help but cry and lament over the fact that as a physician, she was party to a death of a human being, not by accident or unpreventable but by want of the patient. I am not here to justify abortions or pro-life.
But there are many cases where the fetus has to be aborted either to save the mother's life or other complications. some of the pictures you view on this subject may be from "abortions" but they may not all occur from those that willfully abort their fetus. From her stories to me, she had to perform several abortions based on the fact that either the fetur had expired within the womb, and the only way to get it out is to perform an abortion. In these instances, when the fetus is unable to be 'pulled' from the body, it has to be dismembered in order for removal. What I'm trying to say here is that yes it is distrubing to look at, but don't take everything you see or read at face value. Comign from a brother that has been a constant punching bag of sorts for all the hell my sister has to go through on a daily basis for stillborns or other mishaps, who are you guys to say that this is 'wrong' when you don't know where these pictures really came from. Also, take into account that when a mother's life is at risk, in most instances, they will have an ethics comittee review the situation before deciding which option to take.
although I am distrubed by these pictures and have had the displeasure of witnessing such actions, i do not believe it is wrong. I cannot form a true opinion about those pictures because i do not know where they were taken. But in most instances i would support those actions taken by these physicians because you ahve to understand the moral issues here and the Oath that these physicians take and the contradictions that occur on a daily basis.
Correct me if I am wrong but what is the number one occupation with the most number of suicides. If physicians is not number one, its at least top 5
just my opinion.
