This macho, fundamentalist bullshit has got to stop. Note: I'm personally opposed to abortion, but you can't have a rigid rule that doesn't allow for saving the life of the mother.

THIS IS A WOMEN'S HEALTH ISSUE.

(24,766 posts)She wanted that kid. Sadly, she had to have her Fallopian tube removed, a "side effect" abortion if you may. If she didn't, she and the fetus/baby would have faced certain death.
