Actually, preeclampsia/eclampsia can begin in the second trimester before the baby is viable. And i certainly don't claim that abortion is always necessary in those cases, but if the mother's life is endangered and the baby's lungs have not yet matured enough to be viable, delivery becomes necessary. of course it's semantics after this which I'm not really interested in. Point is, there are instances when abortion can be medically necessary.
It is never ecclampsia in the second trimester.
Some signs of the potential preeclampsia might be present at the end of second trimester and that is exactly when the baby starts being viable. Since preeclampsia never escalates immediately to ecclampsia, pregnancy is usually supported until 30-32 weeks( or as long as possible) and then if the symptoms do not subside - emergency c-section is being performed.
The complication is connected to the microcirculation in the placenta and is never occurring before 22-24 weeks.
Not to even mention the abortion is never even an option considered in a situation of preecclamptic patient.
It is for reasons like these postings that I have Kosher Girl on "ignore." An action you may wish to consider, Vox.
Let's do this. Let's give every woman in the United States the right to choose abortion for herself, and let people like Kosher Girl opt out. Wait! Hold it!
That is the law as written in Roe vs. Wade!
By the way, Kosher Girl is not Kosher.
Just because someone claims they are Kosher, does
not mean they are. Kosher Girl is a fake, her goal
is to make Jews look bad with her insane posts.
I have no time for phonies. Do you?[/CENTER]
