for abortion why dont they take out the baby through c-section?

Question

I just heard how cruel the abortion is. I'm against it, but if they have to do it cause of the mothers health, why dont they take the baby out through c-section and then abort the baby with some injection?

Answer 1

Because its not a practice that is alowed in hospitals and clinics dont have the proper licences to do it.

Answer 2

I understand your objection and the horrified manner in which babies are aborted. What I don't understand is why anyone would want to go through a C-section if it is not necessary. That's an invasive procedure and not without risks of infection. A fetus is usually small and the way they do it, while cruel in my opinion, is better than what you are suggesting. A life is a life no matter how it is taken . The mother's health would be a situation where I would consider abortion, but not a C-section. It's unnecessary and once you have a C-section , they almost always , if not always, do subsequent C-sections. Injection of the baby is death too. There's no easy way around this and not an easy decision. It is sad in any case.

Answer 3

doctors do not like to perform surgical procedures like that when there is another way to accomplish the same thing. because of the risk of endometriosis which is scaring on the uterus which can cause severe dysmennoreahl and other problems. it would also disturb more body tissue of the mother. maybe they should perform some sort of injection for the baby before aborting so it doesnt feel anything. they should be able to do that through the cervix i think.

Answer 4

because 1. the fetus is deep in there

2. costs alot
3. its like cutting your throat to remove tonsils, why??
4. more efficient and faster the other way
5. and "take the baby out through c-section and abort the baby through injection" is not really possible...the doctors have to take the bay out early on, like under 3 months, i think, so it becomes more dangerous for the mother either way
*either you have a mother in pain, with a half grown, breathing baby being taken out through a cesarian
or
* you have doctors cutting somewhere where they cant be sure b/c the baby is too small and hes deep, putting the mother at risk

Answer 5

If it is for the mothers health then a major surgery like that would probaly not be good for her health. As far as the other times go I would say that the Doctors probaly feel that surgery is an unessery thing to put the mother threw.

Answer 6

first off, the majority of abortions occur when the fetus is barely 2 inches long. it won't live, even if you remove it via c-section. second, the fetus is given a shot to stop its heart if it's a late term abortion. what's the point of having surgery for a fetus that won't survive anyhow?

Answer 7

Because cesarean is 3 times as likely to kill a woman as a vaginal delivery. It's a dangerous, serious operation that should never be used outside of an emergency or true medical necessity. It's many, many times safer to have a vaginal delivery. What's more, cesareans can negatively impact her fertility, so by having one, she might not be able to have a normal, healthy pregnancy and delivery later.

Answer 8

Because, if the baby is removed from the womb, it is considered by law a person, who cannot then be murdered. The womb is funny like that, it's a magical personhood detector, apparently... that's how choice is made "ethical".

And... if they removed the baby through c-section, they shouldn't kill it when they can then put it on life-support. Pre-mature babies can live on their own as early as 4 months old!

Answer 9

c-section would be more traumatic for the female who is aborting the fetus. Taking it out through the vaginal tract is less traumatic and less of infection.

Answer 10

Great, if you're against it, don't have one. Putting a woman through an even more serious surgery would be insipid.
