But a former abortionist disputes that claim and warns that money may be behind the lie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now a pro-life OBGYN, Dr. John Bruchalski has been on both sides of the aisle and is able to speak to the hard cases from personal experience. In his <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/02\/21\/the-pro-abortion-life-of-the-mother-argument-is-a-false-flag-operation\/\">article for The Federalist<\/a>, he addresses the concern for women\u2019s health, but in all cases, \u201cintentional feticide is never necessary even in the worst-case scenarios.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the unique aspects of being an OBGYN is that a doctor cares for two patients simultaneously. \u201cThe medical goal should be to care for both patients and to get them both as far along in the pregnancy as possible as long as the mom and baby are doing well,\u201d Dr. Bruchalski said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addressing some of the hard cases \u2013 he lists premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), severely high blood pressure, diabetes, hemorrhaging, cancers, and heart disease \u2013 the end goal considers both patients. In the difficult case of PPROM and infection setting in before a baby is viable, the goal is to attack the infection and drain the infected fluids via preterm delivery, not to attack the baby via abortion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/walgreens-cvs-petition\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-283198\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--700x180.jpg\" alt=\"Walgreens CVS banner\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--700x180.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--768x197.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Keep-Abortion-Pill-Out-Of-Walgreens-CVSLAN-Horizontal--500x128.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe doctor must empty the womb by early induction in order to attack the infection \u2014 similar to draining an abscess. The unborn baby may not survive because it\u2019s not yet viable outside the womb. But ending the life of the unborn child was never the direct intention in treating the infection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treating two patients is simply good medicine, he argues, and most of the time even preterm induction isn\u2019t necessary. But because of the availability of abortion, it eventually became a first- rather than a last resort, warping this particular field of medicine:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fifty years of Roe crippled the medical field by making abortion the commonplace solution to disease, personal needs, and conveniences. [&#8230;] this unnecessary \u201csolution\u201d is premature and violently attacks the unborn child as if he or she were the cause of the illnesses. The heart of the Hippocratic, healing profession of medicine should be that we hate the disease and love our patients. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And in fact as Live Action News has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-doctors-true-health-care\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, many of the cases that have appeared in the news claiming that abortion would have \u201csaved\u201d a person turn out to be risk-averse doctors, medical malpractice, or the failed imaginations of medical practitioners for whom abortion is the main tool in their kit. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no advantages to a mother\u2019s health when an abortion is performed after 20 weeks, and after 24 weeks is far more time consuming than delivery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why does the lie that abortion is medically necessary still persist? Bruchalski believes the answer is money. Abortion is a lucrative business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI believe they want to reserve the right to perform elective abortions in any circumstance because they worship the cash cow that stems from their patients\u2019 ability to choose death,\u201d he states directly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, as Live Action News has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/doctor-most-obgyns-dont-do-abortions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reported<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, most OBGYNs do not commit abortions. Still, there\u2019s a long way for the profession to go. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe must relearn how to hate the disease, yet love both of our patients in OB-GYN practice,\u201d writes Bruchalski.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/give.liveaction.org\/general-donation\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=display&amp;utm_campaign=monthly&amp;utm_content=article\"><i>Did you know that as little as $10 a month is enough to reach more than 3,000 people with the truth about abortion that no one else is telling them?
