Tuesday, January 25, 2005Legal... but safe and rare?The AOL headline is about Hillary seeking to bridge opinion on abortion. Meanwhile, Guytak has the latest press release from Operation Rescue - about a woman who died from the aftermath of a botched abortion. She had the abortion on January 13. She died a few days later. According to one insider, Tiller's patient arrived at the hospital with "severe hemorrhaging" and died "a few days later" from undetermined causes but the source said, "are very likely to be the result of a botched abortion." According to 911 transcripts, the ambulance was requested by Tiller office worker Marguerite Reed, who according to 911 dispatch records was being "very evasive" and "refused to give any information about the patient."The TurkeyBlog sits resolutely on the fence on the larger abortion question, with the wishy-washy "personally opposed but not sure the government should decide" viewpoint. But when the people the pro-choicers claim to be advocates for are dying and the abortion providers are too busy covering their own butts to give the emergency teams information that might help the patient until they're sure it won't compromise them... It is often said that abortion should be a decision reached by a woman consulting her health care provider. Fine. But the abortion mills are not "health care providers." If pro-choice advocates are serious, they'll join Operation Rescue in calling for a full investigation into what happened with this woman, and disdaining any whitewash. Failing that, are they really advocates for women? Or just for abortion as a political principle?
