Is that your loving sisterly thought for the day? Did you read what I said in that mean thread you started about me?
the national poetry contest had come down to two, a yale graduate and a redneck from texas.
they were given a word, then allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a poem that contained the word.
the word they were given was "timbuktu.

george w bush and his right-wings friends are quietly pursuing their domestic agenda while the nations attention is focused on international terrorism.. bush's attacks on women's reproductive freedom continue.. examples;.
1. on his first day in the oval office,bush re-instated the global gag rule,which takes family planning funds from organizations that even mention the option of abortion to their patients,risking womens lives overseas.. 2. bush has promised to re-visit the food and drug administration's approval of ru-486.and anti-abortion forces in congress have already introduced a bill to limit it's availability.. 3. with the expected retirement of 3 supreme court justices ,including sandra day o'connor,who is often the critical swing vote on abortion rights issue,bush has made it clear that he will nominate the most adamant opponents of abortion and civil rights.. the bush administration is committed to strategies that limit life saving stem cell research,criminalize abortion providers,reduce the availability of birth control and deny funding of health reproduction education in the schools.. what better way to take on the christian coalition and ultra-right leaders and movements,than to use your voice to speak up now!!.
Expat,
In my opinion, it is an impossible choice, but people have been faced with them. Again, since I personally have never been faced with this, all I can say is what I think I would do in this scenario,
I would save my daughter. If the doctor assured me she could not carry the baby, there was incontrovertible evidence to back it up...how could I lose my daughter? She is the one I already know and love. She is the innocent victim here, why should she lose her life for something that wasn't her fault? That would be my thought processes in the matter. Of course the baby is an innocent victim too, but if I had to choose, that's the way it would go.

Rhett,
You win. I give up. You still did not answer the question of what you would do if it were your daughter, and I can see that you have no intention of doing so. It is black and white to you. As I said, I hope you are never faced with this type of thing personally.

The National Poetry Contest had come down to two, a Yale graduate and a redneck from Texas. They were given a word, then allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a poem that contained the word. The word they were given was "Timbuktu."
First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He stepped to the microphone and said:
Slowly across the desert sand
Trekked a lonely caravan;
Men on camels, two by two
Destination Timbuktu.
The crowd went crazy! No way could the redneck top that, they thought. The redneck calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:
Me and Tim a huntin' we went.
Met three whores in a pop-up tent.
They was three, and we was two,
So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.
The redneck won hands down!
Ladonna, you're such a sweetie.
I'll bet if you tried really, really hard....you could give me a spanking.
Tim, it was a mean thing to do to my sister...but God it was funny. And trust me, she did some pretty mean things to me too. As a matter of fact, after that knock down fight we had, she was still pissed a few days later. We went shopping, I tried on this killer blue bikini and asked her opinion of it. She said she didn't like it. Now, I thought it looked pretty good, but it's hard to tell sometimes. So I didn't buy it. Then a few days later when she cooled off, she told me I should have bought it because it looked the best of all the ones I'd tried. I went back to get it, and it was gone. [>:(]
To this day, I'm still looking for that damn bikini!

Hey Wendy
I'm sorry your friends are putting you in this position.
Yes, they are the ones doing it. Don't allow it any more, tell them exactly how you feel. Say "I like you both, and I refuse to be put in the middle of your battle." Period. End of subject.
I mean, what are they thinking putting a hormonal, nearly at her delivery date preggers woman thru such emotional turmoil?
You don't have to choose sides, and if they can't live with that...then it's their loss.
Take care, and don't worry too much about this stuff. It will all work out when the moon cycles back around again.

Rhett and Target,
You still did not answer the question. If it was your daughter would you let her die?
I didn't say that happens all the time...I didn't say get a second opinion. It does happen that women die in childbirth. In this scenario, this is one of those times. So answer the question. Would you let your daughter die?
Yes or No? As you say, it's that simple.
P.S. This is Think41self, I hit my posting limit for the first time
twice in the past week, from two different posters, i have been called an "asshole.
" in both cases, the person made an assumption about me based on something that was said in a thread.
in both cases, i responded by saying i disagreed with their characterization and explained why.
Everyone sing it with me now!
He's a maniac, maniac on the floor.
And he's WHACKING like he's never whacked before.
Tallywhacker, Tallywhacker, he's our man, if he can't whack it, no one can.
