I was faculty at the hospital for nine years, and I saw hundreds of cases of really severe pregnancy complications--cancers, heart disease, intractable diabetes out of control, toxemia of pregnancy out of control.

And I always tell people, in all those years, the number of babies that I had to--that I was obligated to deliberately kill in the process--was zero. None.
Abortion is not medically necessary. Approximately 12,000-13,000 late-term abortions (20+ weeks gestation) take place in the U.S. each year. Research shows that late-term abortions are performed for the same reasons as early abortions -- nearly all are for elective reasons. None are necessary to save a woman's life.
