You be a special kind of sick to demand this. And when Doctors do it, it becomes evil.


One of the nation’s most influential medical organizations wrote an op-ed published in The Washington Post on Wednesday calling for abortion with no restrictions.

In the op-ed, the American College of OBGYN (ACOG) and Society of Family Planning called for abortion on demand and claimed that abortion “saves lives.” This comes as Democrats continue to deny that they support abortion up until birth, despite evidence to the contrary.​
“It improves and saves lives, and it must be available without restrictions, without limitations, and without barriers — just as any other critical part of health care,” wrote ACOG interim chief executive Christopher Zahn and director of advocacy and public affairs for the Society of Family Planning Jenni Villavicencio.​
...​
“In an Informed debate, the truth is what matters and now we finally hear the truth from the abortion lobby. So now we take this question of abortion limits to voters and those running for public office,” she said. “Americans are compassionate people and overwhelmingly reject all-trimester abortions on demand. The more they learn of the extremist positions of organizations in power, the more they reject them.”​
Dr. Ingrid Skop, a board-certified OB-GYN who has practiced in Texas for nearly 30 years and serves as vice president and director of medical affairs at Charlotte Lozier Institute also responded, saying in a statement:​
As an obstetrician for the last 30 years, I have advocated and cared for both of my patients—mothers and their unborn children. This brazen proclamation from ACOG, while sad to see, is reflective of a discouraging new reality: In ACOG’s leadership and the broader medical community, there’s no place for dissent on the issue of unlimited abortion for any reason, at any time in pregnancy.

We are witnessing, in real time, a vocal, political takeover of a scientific community that represents the most honorable and beautiful profession, responsible for safely bringing new life into the world. I wish ACOG would realize that their promotion of elective abortion without limits isn’t reflective of the views of their own members, considering 86-93 percent of practicing obstetricians will not perform an elective abortion.

CBN further quoted Skop:
“The other discussion that we’re not having that we need to have is that some of these babies are born alive, and do not leave the abortion clinic alive, because nobody is supervising abortion clinics to make sure that they’re not actually committing infanticide,” Skop continued. “So our country’s very extreme. I think most people don’t realize that. And yet if you ask them, consistently they say, ‘No, we should have restrictions far earlier in pregnancy.'”

Several states — run by Democrats — notably have no restrictions on abortion whatsoever, including Colorado, Oregon, and Washington, DC. Many other Democrat-run states, like California, New York, and Illinois, allow abortions up to “viability” but allow abortions later in pregnancy with limited exceptions, including if a woman’s “mental health” is in danger.
On the federal level, Democrats have also supported a radical piece of proposed abortion legislation called the “Women’s Health Protection Act.” The legislation would usurp states’ ability to pass strong pro-life laws and would allow abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.
As Breitbart News reported in 2019, Virginia Democrat Delegate Kathy Tran proposed a measure that year that would not only allow abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy in the state but would even permit a woman to decide whether she wants to “abort” her baby as she is dilating and about to give birth.

The only reason some states can loosen restrictions is because of the overturn of RvW.
 
Because the American College of OBGYN doesn't have time to teach OBGYN.

Just teaching about abortion reduces their entire course curriculum down to one pamphlet, and you get your degree in only two days.

That's just terrible.
There has to be a limit of 12-15 weeks.

You know, sometimes tragedy strikes the birthing mother at birth.
These are facts of nature.
Try to save both, and if one dies, as tragic as that is, that is nature.
I don't agree in any way with intentionally KILLING a full term baby.
 
raw
 
Like any of you psychopaths give a shit about babies. I'd bet most of you are deadbeat dads or have kids who silently hate you.
 
Sounds like all the ones that support such a message need to lose their medical license.
 
If there is nothing you can do to control others, use their failing to your advantage. I always compliment white, large families. If there is to be abortion, encourage it in depressed areas.
 
I don't know how anyone outside of a psychopath could murder a 9 month fetus. Of course Leftist ghouls call it "reproductive rights", so that makes it all nice and tidy.

The majority of Americans DO NOT favor abortions past a certain time frame but the left could care less about that. If a woman has the right to choose that means she has the right to choose up until the baby is born.
 
Waiting on some left loon to repeat the lie nobody supports abortion without restrictions..

And now for actual FACTS, unknown to the OP

  • Approximately 1% to 2% of abortions occur after 21 weeks
  • Approximately 91% of abortions occur before 13 weeks
  • When abortions occur later in the pregnancy, they sometimes involve balancing medical concerns; we don’t believe that elected politicians, who lack our members’ education, training, experience, expertise, and responsibility to patients, can or should be in the exam room weighing those factors or in a position of substituted judgment for our members and their patients
