Mother Baby Abortion

More From C. Everett Koop

Protection of the life of the mother as an excuse for an abortion is a smoke screen. in my 36 years of pediatric surgery, i have never known of one instance where the child had to be aborted to save the mother's life. if toward the end of the pregnancy complications arise that threaten the mother's health, the doctor will induce labor or perform a caesarean section. his intention is to save the life of both the mother and the baby. the baby's life is never willfully destroyed because the mother's life is in danger.

I think of the chimp, the one with the talking hands. in the course of the experiment, that chimp had a baby. imagine how her trainers must have thrilled when the mother, without prompting, began to sign her newborn. baby, drink milk. baby, play ball. and when the baby died, the mother stood over the body, her wrinkled hands moving with animal grace, forming again and again the words: baby, come hug, baby come hug, fluent now in the language of grief.
Mother Baby Grief
One baby is a patient baby, and waits indefinitely until its mother is ready to feed it. the other baby is an impatient baby and cries lustily, screams and kicks and makes everybody unpleasant until it is fed. well, we know perfectly well which baby is attended to first. that is the whole history of politics.
Mother Baby Waiting
The great constructive energies of the child ... have hitherto been concealed beneath an accumulation of ideas concerning motherhood. we used to say it was the mother who formed the child; for it is she who teaches him to walk, talk, and so on. but none of this is really done by the mother. it is an achievement of the child. what the mother brings forth is the baby, but it is the baby who produces the man. should the mother die, the baby still grows up and completes his work of making the man.

They reciprocated the great and saving lie--that our love for things is greater than our lover for our love for things--willfully playing the parts they wrote for themselves, willfully creating and believing fictions necessary for life.
Lying Believe Creating
We're very enthused about the idea that in the third trimester we actually give the mother a vaccine and her antibodies, the protective things that the immune system makes, actually pass through to the baby, both when the baby is born, and through the mother's milk. because the baby's immune system is actually not very strong for that first few months, using the mother's immune system to do this - it's a very exciting idea and something that we're investing heavily in.
