This past week, a very good friend of mine terminated her 18 week pregnancy upon the discovery of very serious issues with the fetus.<br /><br />Her decision was, by far, the most challenging and difficult decision of her life. She is beyond distraught, as I'm sure any woman in that position would be. Her doctors informed her of the problems and gave her unbiased information. She and her husband made the decision to abort based on the information they received, as is the way it SHOULD be both legally and ethically. <br /><br />It is the moral, ethical, and legal responsibility of our doctors to inform us of issues related to our health and bodies. To create laws that do otherwise is the ultimate betrayal of the patient and of the Hippocratic oath. <br /><br />-AimeeAimee @ Ain't Yo Mama's Bloghttp://www.aintyomamasblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30938531.post-53788814673156339782010-06-08T07:45:27.190-07:002010-06-08T07:45:27.190-07:00Cheryl - you certainly are all that and then some....Cheryl - you certainly are all that and then some...thanks for sharing.

I totally agree with all you have said. I did not have an amnio instead I opted for the less risky triple screen but had those results indicated a potential genetic issue I would have followed up with the more definitive amnio because I would want to be armed with the right information with which to prepare and make the right decisions. Some chromosomal defects more prevalent in women in their mid-40's mean the baby will not survive long after birth, would you not want to know about that and decide how best to handle it? It is State making decisions that are the absolute right of individual human beings to make and not allowing them to is akin in my mind to stepping behind the iron curtain of the last century.One Photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793386254564806126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30938531.post-56777367194179230612010-06-08T03:27:40.048-07:002010-06-08T03:27:40.048-07:00Furthermore, I believe IN MY VERY CORE that there ...Furthermore, I believe IN MY VERY CORE that there is no way a government should be legislating anywhere near a woman's body.

He's supposedly ultra-orthadox, which is why he's espousing the beliefs he does (putting a modern reason on why orthodoxy espouses what it does). However, he breaks the rules whenever it suits his books sales, etc. He's a hypocrite. I'm not even going to address your other point other to say it's disgusting if doctors have the legal right to withhold medical information to a mother. I'm so angry right now....Cheryl D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09325231488203008376noreply@blogger.com
