When a doctor tells a patient that the fetus is completely undeveloped when he knows that their are organs, arms and legs, wouldn't you call that lying. Talking to a patient who wants an abortion or a reporter should not make a difference, they both should hear exactly the same thing when they ask questions, and it should be the truth.
Does the video I posted have an agenda? Of course, but that does not change the underlying fact that abortion providers have a problem telling the truth.
No. I'd call it splitting hairs. What does "undeveloped" mean? Any premature baby has undeveloped lungs and risks death through respiratory distress. I don't think the Dr.'s who use this term mean to imply that a child is a mass of cells for 35 weeks that magically develops in the last week. I don't think they are being dishonest either. After all, embryology isn't some secretive affair. Anyone, regardless of educational background can look at a developmental chart.
Additionally, I don't think any child had survived being born before 22 weeks. The odds are against a premature baby surviving up until the 26th week (if I remember correctly). So, in effect, they are undeveloped. I don't take that to mean the physicians are claiming that no organogenesis or limb development occurs. In fact, we know that limbs develop in the fourth week.
Again, most of this is based on silly semantics. I don't see it being germane to the issue. I also don't see it as an indication to force women to get an ultrasound.
So, aside from more semantics in the "heart tones" versus heart beats debate, what lies were told in that video?
