And no one was surprised. The anti abortionists now get to talk about their god's will.
So babies that were previously aborted that weren't counted in the infant mortality rate are now dying after birth and are counted in the infant mortality rate.
Either way, it's the same number of dead babies.
Same number maybe but now the mothers are also made to carry term non-viable babies and are exposed to the danger of child birth for what? Moral brownie points?
In these cases, though, access to abortion means less suffering, both for the fetus/child and the mother.
Yes, but with an extra large helping of pain and suffering. That's the problem.
Let's not beat around the bush here. They were aborted because they were basically already dead in the "Fist of the North Star" sense of the phrase. Nothing could be done to save them. The would-be mothers knew there was nothing that could save their pregnancies. Their doctors knew there was nothing that could save these pregnancies. They were forced to keep going anyway.
But now you have the additional costs and trauma of giving birth just to see the baby die in your arms, and for what, because some crazy people say its their sky dads will.
Abortions do not result in dead babies.
