  • This is what was not in the video – it was only a piece of his testimony.
    Her blood pressure on admission was 220/160. As you are probably aware, a normal blood pressure is approximately 120/80. This patient’s pregnancy was a threat to her life and the life of her unborn child. She could very well be minutes or hours away from a major stroke. This case was managed successfully by rapidly stabilizing the patient’s blood pressure and “terminating” her pregnancy by Cesarean section. She and her baby did well. This is a typical case in the world of high-risk obstetrics. In most such cases, any attempt to perform an abortion “to save the mother’s life” would entail undue and dangerous delay in providing appropriate, truly life-saving care.

    During my time at Albany Medical Center I managed hundreds of such cases by “terminating”pregnancies to save mother’s lives. In all those hundreds of cases, the number of unborn children that I had to deliberately kill was zero.”

    He is testifying AGAINST abortion especially as a reason to save the life of the mother because it doesn’t. It takes too long to be effective.

  • I think you misunderstood him (or perhaps the full testimony is not here). He was pro-choice, he did abortions, he doesn’t do them any longer. I read on Drudge that he was testifying that these abortions should not be allowed because they are ineffective at saving the life of the mother because they take too long. His 27 week patient didn’t have 3 days, she had moments or hours. He did an emergency C-section to save the life of the mother and both survived. Abortions always result in the death of the baby and that was his point. It was not necessary to save the life of the mother.

  • I like to Obama bash as much as the next guy, ha ha, but in this case I don’t care. I don’t care about the umbrellas. It doesn’t make any difference to me whether he asked them to shield himself or not. This is the least of our worries.

  • I agree about what the IUD does but I’d rather a woman “abort” a 1 day cluster of cells than a 6-24 week old baby. Some women can’t take the pill or any of the hormone birth controls. Condoms and spermicide don’t always work. For these women IUDs are about the only way they can have birth control. Yes, they could “keep their legs closed” but the person I am specifically thinking of is a married woman with 2 children and her doctors have told her not to get pregnant again unless they are able to correct a pregnancy related heart issue. She doesn’t want to be sterilized because she wants to try for a boy … in the event her heart problem can be resolved. I won’t criticize her choice of an IUD.

  • There’s a late term abortionist in Boulder, Colorado. I hope they send someone in there with a camera. http://www.drhern.com/

  • Am I the only one who doesn’t feel sorry for the women who die having these late-term abortions? 8 months! She was having an abortion at 8 months!!!! She deserved what she got. Sorry if that sounds cruel but she was a few short weeks from delivering a baby that could have been adopted by so many people who are desperate for children. Instead, she killed it. It’s okay with me that she ended up killing herself, too.

  • Well, not claiming all the money you made would be tax fraud, though, right? Unclaimed income?
    How is that right? Of course, these tax frauds are hurting themselves by doing this. because the social security checks these frauders receive will be smaller because the government will think they made less than they actually did …. so I guess you get what you get when you engage in fraudulent behavior.

  • I’m still trying to figure out why it’s necessary for me to tip for a pizza … that I pick up myself. Or why I am supposed to tip for a coffee drink….that costs me $5 to begin and whose barristas are paid regular hourly rates rather than the $3+tips/hour that waitstaff are paid. I mean, a coffee drink or a pizza that I pick up myself are a product, not a service. When did it become customary to tip for a product?

    Now, pizza delivered to my house. Yes. That is a service. Extra cr@p in my coffee drink that I didn’t pay for but that the barrista was being nice to add for free …sure, I can see that being worthy of a tip.

    I guess maybe I’m just cheap but I resent being nickled and dimed to death.

  • I agree. The electrodes couldn’t hurt as bad as actual labor which really affects the entire body (or at least my entire body). I remember trying to curl up in the fetal position, hoped to die, while wishing everyone would just go away and leave me to it. LOL

  • Yeah? that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt like He!! to have a baby. It does regardless of whether or bodies are “designed” to have kids or not. Believe me, I know. those “hormones” make poor pain killers.
