Planned Parenthood Plans 40 Days of Prayer (L)

[AreYouReady?]

Perhaps there is some misconception about my term "medical procedures"?

Abortions are only willful when the mother does not want the baby for whatever reason.

The medical procedures I am referring to are done removing the baby when it is certain that neither will survive during a full-blown medical crisis. The baby actually has a chance to survive outside the womb, whereas the baby will not have a chance to survive if he/she remains in the womb of a mother in a medical crisis. If the mother dies from bleeding, stroke or other maladies, this will ensure the baby's death. These are the medical procedures I am talking about...not the willful act of taking a baby's life when there is a viable pregnancy.

There was a case (I cannot remember all the details) where a young woman was pregnant and some incident caused her to have severe brain damage. She was ventilator dependent. They kept the woman alive by artificial means while the baby grew to term. Then they did a C-section and delivered a healthy, full-term baby, after which the doctors and family let the mother pass away.
