Abortion is the direct killing of an unborn child. There is never a scenario, and never could be a scenario, where a woman\u2019s life will be saved by directly killing her child. In an abortion, a child is stabbed, poisoned, decapitated, or ripped to shreds. No mother has ever derived a physical benefit from her unborn son or daughter being torn apart or stabbed in the skull….<\/em><\/p>\n

As the over 1,000\u00a0obstetricians, neonatologists, pediatricians, and midwives who signed the\u00a0Dublin Declaration<\/a>\u00a0have testified, there is never any medical justification for abortion. Now, it may indeed be necessary in some rare circumstances to deliver a baby early in order to save the mother. But the additional step of killing the child is not necessary, even if the child ultimately does not survive outside the womb….<\/em><\/p>\n

Unfortunately,\u00a0there are cases\u00a0where an unborn child has to be delivered so early that he most likely will not survive. This is tragic and terrible, but it\u2019s not an abortion. If labor is induced because both mother and child will die otherwise, and the child dies anyway despite every effort to save him, an abortion has not occurred.\u00a0The intention was not to directly take life but to save it. If those efforts fail, the doctors no more \u201caborted\u201d the child than they abort a patient who dies during emergency heart surgery.<\/em><\/p>\n

Abortion has never saved a life. It is not designed to.<\/em><\/p>\n
