Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]
And if abortion is not part of the job description for a doctor how could doctors save the lives of women when continuing with pregnancy would endanger the mother's life?
Sure, saving life is in the job description for a doctor, an abortion is very rarely dangerous to mother's life. In the case of doctor Chazan mother was in no danger. An abortion doesn't equal saving life quite the opposite.
your statement regarding a simple yes or no answer to whether someone has the right to take the life of another is not that simple. I
I think we are arguing here about semantics.
You don't know that, it is merely your opinion.
Sure, like everything that is being written here is someone opinion but sometimes it is also a fact at the same time.
To start with what difference does it make whether the womans' pregnancies were a result of IVF or not?
Several:
First of all she wasn't same stupefied teen but somebody well versed and experienced in all that pertain abortions and pregnancy.
Hence that reliance on a doctor to refer he to somebody else is just pained too large to be truth.
Second of all, I personally think that women is not sane and maybe having to give a birth to a sick child would be a wake up call, she is not buying a doll in the shop for goodness sake.
It wasn't her first pregnancy either.
Do you think that should somehow preclude her from the right to a legal abortion if she is carrying a severely deformed child?
No, I just think that all that circumstances are shady like a provocation - that all!
Unexpectedly?
Yes, as I said those were protests organized by KOD, a post-soviet establishment stooge without real substantial support among the populace. The can gather a few paid actors if there is must but this time they were joined by many women - in that context it was unexpected.
To see it in the other context - number of the protesters, counting them at max and really generously was about 100 000, whereas project of the law to ban abortion had been signed by more than 500 000.
he apparently ordered unnecessary tests
That is your opinion.
But it was not her responsibility to find a doctor herself to perform the abortion was it?
Sure it was. Why would that be somebody else responsibility? That paragraph is outdated.
should not be working in gynaecology if their conscience is going to get in the way of their professional duty.
That what the conflict was about. Professor Chazan claims that doctors have the right to act according with their conscience.
Being an example to others - some one doesn't like it! Some one with the access to the real money - simple.
In addition, i don't think it is quite so simple to find willing doctors either.
I beg to differ. She could have go to the same doctor she went to before. Why change a doctor? eh?
That's more or less what Maf said in his post but if you're both right, then he's going about it in totally the wrong way
Maybe, I don't care. He and PiS are étatist, socialist, pro-EU and softies that talk big but act small.
putting Poland and the government in the international spotlight
Poland need to build its own strong economy, their own alliance and their own nuclear weapon and cutting edge technologies, then all those spotlights, groups of interest and lobbyist can go and .......! Since then - who cares?
