[quote=AN]My questions to Navydoc is, how many tomb stones can you point to of mothers that died because they didn’t have an abortion vs how many tomb stones you can point to of babies who were aborted who would have grown up to be healthy adults?

I always find it funny that those who are pro choice tend to be anti death penalty and those who are pro life tend to be pro death penalty.[/quote]

I think you missed the point of my response. I was reacting to the Ron Paul statement that he never saw an abortion that was necessary to save the mother’s life. They absolutely do happen. You may not know this, but I’m a high risk pregnancy subspecialist, and maintaining healthy pregnancies in women with medical conditions is actually my job. Unfortunately there are times when aborting a healthy fetus IS necessary to protect the mother’s life. Don’t misunderstand me, I detest the concept of abortion, and some of the procedures I’ve performed have left me personally scarred, but the procedure MUST remain legal. I have no interest in placing my professional future at the whim of a court because I perfomed an illegal procedure. What you said about Planned Parenthood is absolutely correct, and the pre-procedure counseling those patients receive can be extremely suspect, especially considering it’s fee for service care.

And there are some people out there who are pro-choice and pro-death penalty. I consider the two concepts completely unrelated.
