Prudie counsels a pregnant woman worried she can’t trust her anti-abortion obstetrician.

Q. Staying With the Anti-Choice Doctor: I live in a small town, and recently a number of local doctors signed a petition against Planned Parenthood, based on proven lies and obfuscation of facts. I was horrified to find a number of my own providers on the list, including a physician at my group OB practice. I am pregnant with my second child now, but long ago I had an abortion. I feel legitimately concerned about the quality of care I might receive if my OB knows I had an abortion (I disclosed this on my medical history). I’m almost into my third trimester, but I’m completely panicked about the potential of a doctor who may judge me or even deny me crucial medical care if something devastating were to happen during my pregnancy. I want to switch practices, but my husband thinks I am overreacting. There are not many other OBs in town. Should I talk to someone at the practice about my concerns? Am I being unreasonable here?

A: I think it’s perfectly fine for you to talk to your primary physician in this group practice, one who didn’t sign the letter, about the concerns it raised for you. Explain that of course doctors are free to sign petitions and letters, but you were disturbed that physicians would sign onto a letter that was demonstrably false. You can add that because you had an abortion, and that fact is in your chart, you were concerned about the care you might get from the doctor in the group who signed the letter. I’m sure your doctor will reassure you about the group practice and about the professionalism of the doctor who signed. That should reassure you that no matter what the doctor’s personal beliefs, you do not have to worry about the level of care you will receive. Having done that, I think you should then let this go. You are near the finish line, and you have doctors you like. I agree with your husband that there is no reason to create a major disruption now in your care.

So she had no complaints about the care he provided before, but now she does.

If it bothers you that much, switch doctors. But I seriously doubt you are going to find any private practice OB that supports Planned Parenthood's practices. Good luck with that.

No not to many.  They choose the profession to bring life into the world not to kill life.  In the rare real cases of the mothers life in danger but not for convenience of the mother.

Are we going to start sending out political surveys to see if the people who cut our hair share our views on gun control? Do we need to find out where the owner of the meat market stands on Obamacare?

We profess to want politicians who can "Reach across the aisle" and work with members of the other party, but we can't even do business with them if they don't correspond to our views 100%?

 I actually wasn't referring to that specifically.  I'm talking about surgeries in a walk-in clinic with doctors who may not be admitted to practice at nearby facilities - no hospital priviledges, handing out abortion drugs without proper follow-up.  A good OB takes care of his patients and cares about them - Planned Parenthood does not.

Well, it seems that applies to the doctor as well, because he may lose a patient.

I'm sure that's not going to hurt him. He will probably be inundated with women wanting to see him because of his stance.  That's usually how these things work...

I doubt it. I want children, and would never even consider an abortion under everyday circumstances, but I would never ever want a vehemently anti choice doctor. If my pregnancy, God forbid, puts my life at risk, I want a doctor that will be open and honest about ALL my options, including abortion.

See, here, these doctors offices would be overflowing.  If you are a Christian company, you get more business than you can handle.   We have Christian Classifieds, and the majority of people will look here  before anywhere else.  Just about every business has some sort of bible verse either on their marquee or painted on the walls.  The car dealerships, the gym, even the grocery stores. 

 

http://www.christian-classifieds.com/christian_business_directory.html

 

And most doctors are against elective abortions.  There are few that will not abort to save the life or health of the mother.  The doctors that signed this petition aren't necessarily vehemently anti-choice.  They are anti elective abortion.  Which is what planned parenthood is all about...

 And things are very different here. Things that make it a point of broadcasting how very Christian they are--Inns, printing companies,  florists, etc, mostly get their clientele from other Christians, not droves of random people. A doctor that makes a point of being anti choice would most likely see his business shrink slightly.

In my COUNTY alone, (and I live in the suburbs) we have over 200 Christian Churches. I would venture to say that 90% of our population would call themselves Christian. So it bodes well for Christian business to set up shop here...

Then again, there would be no way that my county would allow a planned parenthood. The closest one to us is over 20 miles away in Nashville. And there is only one there and they are only open half a day M-S, closed on Sunday.
The next nearest one is 150 miles away in Evansville, KY. We aren't real big on baby killing around here...

Absolutely.  Know how many murders we've had in the past 5 years? 1.  A moral society is a safe society.   And killing babies is not moral.

He didn't make a "point" of it. 

Can we not vote our conscience now?  Is that where the liberals are going with this?

It keeps coming back to the question, When does a fetus become a baby?

One group says "at the moment when sperm meets ovum";

One group says "when it takes its' first breath".

And some people have chosen some point in between.

 Ever think that our crime rate is low BECAUSE we have guns? Criminals stay away from here. They know we will shoot them in a heartbeat if the broke into our house.  And ONE murder. Doesnt that prove that gun ownership makes a town safer?  No one one is killing people with our plethora of guns. Whats the homicide rate in your county?

So you should complain about the way God treats babies, because 25% of fertilized eggs spontaneously abort (miscarry). That's WAY more than the ones terminated by people on purpose.

When I found out I was pregnant with my third I was already almost six months along. Yes, it happened. I had been taking a lot of prescription drugs. Also, at about three months along I had a minor incident involving my ankle. They x-ray'ed it and I got a tetanus shot, antibiotics, and pain pills to go along with the stitches. I honestly don't remember three days of my life. And I didn't know I was pregnant at the time. So when I found out I was pregnant it was hard to find a doctor. No one wanted to take me. They all wanted me to abort. I purposely looked for a pro life doctor because I had no intentions of aborting.

 God's ways are not to be understood by us.

And if you can not understand the difference between a miscarriage and an abortion you have nothing more to add to the conversation.

 Whats the population?  I guarantee the rate of murder is 500x the rate it is here. 1 murder in 5 years with a population of 200k.

When I was growing up I knew some adults who claimed that "If God had meant people to fly, He'd have given us wings," meaning that airplanes were the work of the Devil.

The alternative is that God gave Man the ability to use tools, and the ability to invent airplanes.

 

You might say that God didn't give Man methods to abort babies, that it's the work of the Devil ... but how do you know?

If a fetus is given a Soul at the moment of conception, what happens to the 25% that God kills before birth?

 

Sorry, I think The Big Bang and Evolution do NOT conflict with Genesis, and I think God gave us the ability to make and use tools.

And if Souls go somewhere at death, I'd like to understand what happens with the souls of those that are assigned at conception to the babies who spontaneously terminate.

 

Yes, it's likely that your understanding of God, and my understanding of God, are not the same.

I don't have all those answers.

I never claimed to.

But the Ten Commandments clearly says Thou Shalt Not Kill.

And yes. I do support the death penalty.

Because the Bible says life for a life.

I'm pretty sure the original document translates to "Thou shalt not Murder", which allows killing animals for food, and killing humans in battle. 

and doesn't the Bible include

sacrificing children to God?

 I know, right?


 Yeah. Killing a baby is soooo trivial we should all just say "Oh, FFS!" That's just so wrong but why should I expect you to see it?

 I shouldn't be surprised by now!

Absolutely.  Know how many murders we've had in the past 5 years? 1.  A moral society is a safe society.   And killing babies is not moral.


It keeps coming back to the question, When does a fetus become a baby?

One group says "at the moment when sperm meets ovum";

One group says "when it takes its' first breath".

And some people have chosen some point in between.

 


 It's a baby the second it is conceived. 

 


 Just in case there was any doubt about what is being terminate for those who are squeamish about the truth.

And the people who believe that keep trying to bully others into changing their beliefs. 

 

Is it working?

Believe what? That a baby is a baby and when you kill it you kill it? Yeah and I'm the bully not killing babies or thinking it's the right thing to do. You make me laugh...
