She was what we used to call a suicide blond – dyed by her own hand.

TM – what I would *really* like to know is what kind of situation occurs where a fetus can be pulled out up to its neck and then aborted for the mom’s safety – but delivering the head intact would have endangered her life.

I’m not trying to be rude or argumentative – I just don’t get it. And if the baby was unwanted, why did she wait so long?

Sure, there’s hypocrisy in being upset that a woman was relieved to have a miscarriage. I can think of many situations where I might have been.

I (as you probably know) am a big time pro choice advocate. I have always been confused about all the fuss about the so-called partial birth abortions, since they represent so very small a number (I have never seen one or even heard of one actually being performed).

It’s all about perception, isn’t it?

For millennia, interventional obstetrics was all about trying to keep mom alive. There was nothing else they could do except section the fetus out in pieces and hope for the best. The shift has happened over no more than 100 years–fascinating from the historical point of view. Now we have religious folks arguing against intervention even when the mother’s life is threatened.

Sorry. Don’t buy it. Never did.
