    Well, at least it isn’t total insanity here right now.

    Doctors who refused to perform life saving surgery need to be kicked to the curb.

      While I agree with the point you’re making, abortions are very rarely “life saving surgery”.

      100% pro abortion here (to a limit of course) before people go off, let’s just not distort the truth as all it does is hurt our point.

        I get what you’re saying.

        To my mind, life saving is an emergancy situation which implies immediate action to keep someone alive.

        This is definitely a surgery that impacts peoples lives, and one that has a time frame, but If can’t get an abortion at one clinic it’s unlikely you will just… die… before you organise an appointment somewhere else.

        You can’t compare an abortion to… say a premature birth. They are opposite ends of the spectrum. Both are important things that people need access to, but both aren’t life saving.

        It sucks, it’s backward saying you won’t do it, but it’s quite literally the opposite of life saving.

          💯

          Life saving surgery in terms of an abortion is when the mother could die if she doesn’t have an abortion. The first link I found says that less than 2% of abortions are for the mothers physical health or life saving: https://www.hli.org/resources/why-women-abort/

          Saying abortion is “life saving surgery” is pretty much a complete lie. Only in very, very rare circumstances is it true. Pro-abortion lobbyists and activists need to stop using it as an argument and focus more on how it can ruin a child and parents lives if it’s an unwanted pregnancy, because that is something that is plainly evident for all to see. The chances of anyone on here even knowing someone who has had to have a “life saving” abortion is next to nil.
