"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.”
C Everett Koop, M.D., former U.S. Surgeon General
