A case study has shown how a woman suffering from preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and umbilical cord prolapse was saved through legitimate medical care \u2014 as was her preborn child. It’s a stark contrast to how similar conditions are being portrayed in the pro-abortion media as reasons induced abortion is “needed” and “health care.”<\/p>\n

A group of doctors in India saved the life<\/a> of a 30-year-old woman after she experienced the dangerous complications. Rita Dharaviya was seven months pregnant when she went into preterm labor and visited the emergency room for help. There, the doctors realized she had umbilical cord prolapse \u2014 where the umbilical cord is protruding through the cervix \u2014 in addition to PPROM. She was reportedly in “unbearable pain.”<\/p>\n

Doctors moved swiftly to intervene.<\/p>\n

“The fetal heart rate was 100 as compared to the normal heart rate of 140,” Dr. Rajashri Tayshete Bhasale said in a statement. “Her labor pains began, accompanied by amniotic fluid leakage and protrusion of the umbilical cord. The patient had umbilical cord prolapse, a rare complication where the cord descends into the vagina before the baby. This can lead to compression and reduced oxygen supply to the baby. Immediate delivery is crucial to prevent potential issues such as brain damage or death. Within a few minutes, the mother was transferred from the emergency department to the operation theatre for delivery to address this complication. This is a rare complication occurring in only 5% of the pregnant population. A caesarean section was performed on September 27th and a 1 kg baby was delivered within less than 20 minutes from door-to-incision time.”<\/p>\n

The baby spent some time in the NICU, but otherwise is healthy and doing well.<\/p>\n

Comparatively, two cases \u2014 that of Anya Cook<\/a> in Texas and Andrea Prudente<\/a> in Malta \u2014 likewise involved PPROM and\/or umbilical cord prolapse. The media presented the idea that abortion was medically necessary. Yet the media’s and abortion advocates’ use of the term “abortion” (to mean simply “ending a pregnancy” \u2014 including by early delivery or birth) has itself been used to mislead the public in such cases; pro-life laws enacted in various states protect children from being targeted for death in induced abortions<\/em>, which carry the intent of ending the pregnancy by directly killing the child<\/em>. There is a vast difference<\/strong><\/em> between delivering a child early for a mother’s dire medical emergency (even if that child dies due to extreme prematurity) and intentionally killing a preborn child, ensuring fetal death.<\/p>\n

Induced abortion is not the standard of care for either PPROM or umbilical cord prolapse \u2014 even in cases where the complications arise earlier in pregnancy.<\/p>\n
