I am not sure what to say on this one. I mean, come on. How can this happen anywhere today? The whole abortion thing is just so messed up-no matter what side you are on of the issue.
I have to give it to the Italians for thinking-Okay, you want to do abortions as a doctor-well then you better do them correctly or face homicide charges.
The arguement of when life begins comes into play. For me, it begins with a heart beat.

my dad is a doctor. he is also a christian. one day he was asked to perform an abortion for a young couple, and being against abortions, he lied and told them "its too late for me to abort the baby". so she had the child, and absolutely fell in love with it, and came back to the office with the little one to thank my dad for not going through with it.
It worked out okay for that woman but it's not his place to be making major life choices for patients. You sound proud of him yet he took it upon himself to change his prosition from doctor to priest/moral counsel.. not only that if he was christian yet ignored her right to free will. I can appreciate that she is glad she didn't have an abortion but your father was in the position of trust as a medical practitioner and it was NOT his decision to make. If he felt morally compromised he sould have just referred her to another doctor or made his moral views clear before accepting her as a patient. Ultimately it was very unprofessional.
Ontopic. My personal opinion is that the doctor should be charged with malpractice and perhaps manslaughter.

With all that said, my body my choice is a horrible lie. Your body your choice to have sex.
Wow another "moral" person who think the concept of free will shouldn't apply to a pregnant women.
Regardless people have already used that non argument already trying to find a moral loophole so they can justify deeming a pregnant woman's wishes as NA and treating her body as merely a uterus on life support. The whole idea of surgically raping a woman so she can't get pregnant again is very, very sick (it's why I bothered with this thread I tried ignoring it) and it is NO BETTER than the taliban cutting off the hands of hungry thieves or killing women for having babies out of wedlock.
..I notice there's no mention the fathers getting vacectomies for aborted pregancies. Why is that? because pregnancy is all the woman's fault? :shk:
If people are going to continue responding to me try my last post it is actually ON TOPIC. I'm getting sick of pro-lifers using it as a segway to post misoginist propoganda and I have NO interest reading justifications on surgical rape. IT IS SICK and I'm not going to change my mind on that no matter how many people say "but she chose to have sex..".

He's talking about strapping a woman down and violating her reproductive organs with surgical instruments. Sounds like rape to me.
Kind of like punching a hole into a skull and sucking out the brains with a vaccum sounds like murder to me...but some people seem to not see it that way.
I 100% support the idea that women who choose to get an abortion should also get a procedure done so they can no longer have children. So things like this don't happen.
Thanks goes to DaMod for showing me this article of this disgusting woman.

Hello Riley. Well, I would hope sure hope so but every time the whole Late Term Abortion topic comes up, they make it sound like this is a high volume business-could be etc.
I believe I heard that they have discovered a synthetic form of Stem Cell so I would hope the L.T.A's would not be as frequent, if at all.
Having a great weekend , you and all, I hope.

yes, it was unprofessional, but it was very human. would you lie to save a life? the mother was ignoring the child's right to life.

it could actually end up being a good idea(though an infinitly better one is to outlaw abortion). people want to live without responsibility, but it is costing lives. what would you call a man who kills babies for pleasure? a sick psycho serial killer. why isn't the same said of a woman? (and i'm saying she does it "for pleasure" because sex is about pleasure, and if she is sleeping around like that, she obviously thinks the pleasure she gets is way better than the child she killed)
the only people that i've ever heard use the term "misogynist" are feminists. i think the sexes to be equal, i don't hate anyone based on what sex they are; i judge people by their actions.
If she does not like the responsibilities that come with being a mother she should not have sex.
If she does not like the responsibilities that come with being a mother she should not have sex.Do not "fix" things I have said. You can make the same arguments without actually misquoting me.

Let me fix that for you.
Even if the child was to be born with a disability does that make having an abortion even better?

Firstly it was not linked as your quote, simply a quote (that I felt more appropriate) so calm down. If it were any longer your quote I would have had you name linked to it.
Secondly I work with a people who have children who have varying disabilities. I know what they go through and I know they don’t care how bad it gets because they love their child no matter what and would die for them, not cause the child to die because they might cause discomfort to the parent.
