Quote: “We know this is new territory for many of our providers,” Dr. David Ingram, IU Health’s chief medical executive, said during a press conference Thursday. “And that has increased, certainly, the anxiety around whether they are making the right decisions.”
Really? Perhaps they should re-read The Hippocratic Oath.
This is why IU will never get another dime from me. Providing healthcare to the mother is one thing, finding a way to kill a baby that is healthy for the parents convenience is just morbid for a doctor. Let the butchers at PP make their blood sacrifice. Oh wait, we stopped that.
Bernard, I used to feel this same way. Then I listened to stories from individuals that have been through this experience, and the pregnancy impacts them in many, many ways. An abortion is far from being a “convenience.” As if they stop off and have it on their way to the mall and go about their way without a care in the world. And now the pro-lifers (at least many of them) will be happy with the outcome and won’t pay a bit of care to the fact that already hard situations for thousands of expectant mothers have been made even harder. I wish the abortions didn’t happen but I’m not sure taking away the option is the right decision.
I suppose most people don’t fully understand this, but the abortion care provided through our hospitals is almost always due to serious fetal genetic anomalies (not Down syndrome, but lethal conditions) or to save the life of the mother. I wish you could see what I’ve seen, you might think differently about this.
They don’t care, Amy. The mother means nothing to them. They have no idea what these women go through in these situations and they do not care. They want control.
It would be interesting to hear the perspective from a Catholic hospital where abortions aren’t performed as to how they navigate some of these questions (thinking ectopic pregnancies where long term viability and health of the mother are both aligned). Do they have these same rapid response teams as to determine if the needed procedure is deemed an abortion vs an unintended consequence of a procedure? What is the “success” overall and have they had to tell people to seek services elsewhere?
