(16,193 posts)I can sure talk about this to some Repubs at work. We are the only hospital in town that delivers babies early to save the mother (and yes, it happens more often than the anti-abortionists would like you to believe). Under Romney, we would all stand and watch these women AND THEIR BABIES (yes, these mothers call them babies and grieve) die. These Republicans are murderers if they allow this to stand.

(12,504 posts)a fetus is more valuable than the mother? Really?
these legislators discuss and choose to legislate and allow the death (murder) a mother in deference of a fetus that may also not survive? How is that noble and good? What about the choice of the family the mother etc? Less government? my ass!
