The duplicity of the pro-abortion movement regarding brain-dead pregnant mothers
When abortion is the topic, their rhetoric is all about the woman’s right to choose—forget the family. They assume women will want abortion, so they trim their rhetorical sails to that wind.
But when the woman isn’t able to do any choosing, and her family wants to pull the plug—well, then the rhetoric is all about the family’s wishes….
You’ll listen a long time before you hear a word about the mother’s presumed desire for her baby to live.
Nary a breath of advocacy for the baby from these self-styled women’s advocates—even if it is logical to presume that the baby was wanted.

When you’re in the business of killing the unborn, it’s probably in your best interest to error on the side of death.
When I lived in California in the 1980s, in the news was a pregnant woman who became ill and the husband opted to continue life support until the baby had a chance to be born. Radical feminists raked him over the coals for making that choice. Never mind that the two of them planned to have that baby. Their reaction was “How dare he!”
So should pregnancy now require some kind of special “Living will” to dictate the mother’s wishes if the unthinkable happens before her baby is viable?
I just don’t get the outrage over keeping a mother alive artificially for the sake of her baby–isn’t it rather like organ donation? ie once I can no longer use my empty shell body, why not allow someone else to benefit from my used parts? And why why WHY does any father or family want their child/grandchild to die along with their wife/daughter? Why not give the baby a chance to survive? We’ve seen so many cases (rare, thankfully) where a “brain dead” mother has lived to deliver a healthy child!

What a great idea! Going to send this on to a RTL officer I know.
