No, Abortion Is Never Medically Necessary:
Despite talk of ’emergency abortions,’ there is never a circumstance in which the mother’s health would benefit from the death of her unborn child.
Doctors facing mounting legal and professional pressure to perform abortions post-Dobbs reassert that there are no necessary abortions in medicine. The term “emergency abortion” is a scare tactic.
Soon after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human Services issued letters to doctors citing the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, requiring that abortions must be provided as “emergency care.”
The Biden administration reiterated that message in early July, in a letter sent to physician and hospital associations, compelling emergency room (ER) doctors to perform abortions to “stabilize” a woman’s “emergency medical condition.”
Public Ignorance, Political Gain
Recently the Association for American Physicians and Surgeons filed a suit after multiple doctors were targeted by credentialing boards and the U.S. government for their anti-abortion stance post-Dobbs. Public ignorance and confusion over a “necessary” abortion continues to permeate political language and Biden’s rule is yet another coercive attempt to install national abortion “must-haves.”
An anonymous Food and Drug Administration committee determines “arbitrary safety standards” and what defines “emergency use” and “necessity,” said John Seeds, former department chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at Virginia Commonwealth University, and can then utilize those standards to hide and mislead the public on the point of abortion.
Seeds testified in favor of a bill in Virginia that would change Health Department standards for abortionists, requiring providers to report any significant complication of an abortion.
“We should want to know if complications are clustering, and where,” Seeds told me. “I said, ‘How can anyone argue for ignorance?’ The pro-abortion people argued for ignorance. They said that in the subcommittee meeting. Disgusting. There is no professional intellectual integrity.”
Maternal-Fetal Medicine Advances
Since the legalization of abortion 50 years ago, huge strides have been made in maternal and perinatal care, with viability improving from 27 to 22 weeks gestation, said Dr. John Bruchalski, a former abortionist who now runs Tepeyac OB-GYN, the largest pro-life OB-GYN practice in the nation.
“What these ‘emergency abortion’ laws are saying is if there’s another medical approach to the situation, like real medical treatment or stabilization to closely follow the course of disease in the patients … you still have to provide an abortion if a woman wants it,” Bruchalski said.
The two primary situations when a pregnancy must be induced before viability to save the life of the mother, first-trimester hemorrhaging and ectopic pregnancy, have clear treatments that do not require an abortion, Bruchalski said.
“In [catastrophic uterine bleeding] you’re targeting the placenta and its removal because that is the cause of bleeding, the preborn child is not your target,” Bruchalski said.
In the case of an ectopic pregnancy, an OB-GYN removes the diseased segment of the fallopian tube containing the embryo.
“This is intellectually and scientifically not a direct abortion,” Bruchalski said. “The definition and the intent of an elective abortion is to terminate the life of the fetus. The intention and truth matter not only to the profession and the doctor but to the patient.”
In the vast majority of cases of ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages, the preborn child has already died due to the disease, Bruchalski said. In either situation, targeting the child is never the intent and is therefore not an abortion, but abortion practitioners deceive physicians and patients by saying ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages, and elective abortions are all the same.
“This coercion is based on fundamental lies and half-truths, from beginning to end,” Bruchalski said.
Michelle Stroud Johnson, a registered nurse with a background in postpartum mother and newborn care, has worked in high-risk care and agrees that no emergency situation requires an abortion.
“There are sometimes reasons for early induction that require additional support for the baby, as the baby is not ‘ready’ to be born, but it’s essential for the well-being of the mother,” Johnson said. “However, there is never a circumstance that the mother’s health would benefit from the death of her unborn child. Even in true crash C-sections where mom has to be in the OR [operating room] literally within minutes, there is never a reason to end the baby’s life in the hope of saving mom.”
“The whole discussion of ER abortion of a healthy pregnancy is bogus,” Seeds said.

Kamala Harris Is America’s Top Abortion Pitchman:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren bragged on CNN last week that Kamala Harris’ “biggest accomplishment” as vice president was being the first sitting vice president to visit an abortion facility, an act that minimized the real struggles of expecting mothers and positioned her as a saleswoman of harm and heartbreak.
While there are a number of reasons to oppose a Harris presidency, Americans should especially be concerned about her vocal push for limitless abortion up until birth.
Harris’s radical record on abortion is enough to frighten even the most pro-abortion voters, let alone vulnerable mothers who face unexpected or unwanted pregnancies.
Unlike Biden, Harris is unafraid to aggressively articulate her party’s agenda for unfettered access to abortion. She has also repeatedly refused to name any limits on abortion she would be willing to support.
She intentionally evaded questions about her stance on reasonable pro-life protections during an interview last year with Margaret Brennan on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Instead, Harris is set on forcing all 50 states to provide access to even painful late-term abortions at every month of pregnancy, a position so extreme that it marks a complete departure from the sentiment of the majority of Americans who support reasonable abortion protections after three months gestation.
Harris’s longstanding position on abortion also puts her lack of concern for women’s often complicated and wide-ranging emotions about abortion on full display. Mothers who receive abortions frequently say that the procedure is “inconsistent with their values and preferences.” And far too many mothers — 97 percent — who visit abortion centers in times of distress are offered the one-size-fits-all answer: abortion is the only path forward, leading many to experience deep feelings of regret for years to come, a fact to which Harris repeatedly turns a blind eye. --->READ MORE HERE
