(Right to Life UK<\/a>) Professor Wendy Savage, president of pro-abortion group Doctors for Choice UK<\/a>, appears to have argued that because \u201cbabies die every week\u201d, it was ok to \u201cprocure an abortion which led to the death of a baby\u201d \u2014\u00a0in this case referring to a baby that was aborted at at least 32 weeks gestation, at least 8 weeks after the 24-week time limit for abortions in the UK.<\/p>\n

Discussing the case of\u00a0Carla Foster<\/a>\u00a0on LBC radio, Professor Savage was questioned by host Iain Dale over whether it was justifiable for Ms Foster to abort a baby who could have survived if she had been born at the same gestation at which she was aborted.<\/p>\n

The former Obstetrician, who has performed abortions herself, first admitted that it was the death of a \u201cbaby\u201d that happened in this abortion at no less than 32 weeks gestation.<\/p>\n

In a statement that has been branded \u201csavage\u201d she then went on to say\u00a0 \u201chow many babies die every week in this country? And, as we keep on seeing, these maternity scandals [show] that the care that is given to women is not perfect\u201d.<\/p>\n

It appeared that she was saying that because babies die every week in the UK because of sub-standard pregnancy care, it was somehow justifiable to deliberately end the life of a viable baby.<\/p>\n
