A few people pointed out that these are extreme cases. Well, yes. But that's why I'm using them. In the extreme case were we all agree that the baby is a baby, an individual with rights, can we please agree to try to keep it alive? The answer is no, we can't. /5

Now yes, there are cases when it might not make sense to spend all that time and effort to keep someone alive, but reading the reports, it doesn't look like *any* effort was made in *any* of the cases. And I'm deeply uncomfortable with that. /6

I feel like this is the moderate position, to provide energetic and enthusiastic care for a baby who survived an abortion. I feel like we need a doctor in the room who can advocate for the baby and isn't *just* there for the abortion. That seems like a not-crazy thing /7

I also feel like that's a huge compromise position that people should be able to sign on for. If we say "ok, late term abortions are legal, but you need a doctor in the room whose job it is to care for a born-alive child" That feels like a 99% win for pro-choicers. /8

But even that position gets them all riled up that I didn't just let the baby die That I'm uncomfortable with letting the baby that we *all* agree is a baby just die without any proactive medical care, this somehow makes me a crazy unreasonable pro-lifer. How did that happen? /9

Anyway, that just really frustrated me. I'm not suddenly pro-abortion ban so much and just really exhausted with trying to find places to agree on the issue of abortion. /10

I'm not sure I have particularly strong views on abortion... and it's not like I don't see their point. I'm just unconvinced (from what I've seen reading the reports) that a viable infant in that case would be cared for appropriately.

Mostly, their position seems to be "we should just trust the doctors" and my position is "but should we?"

I trust doctors far more than I trust anti-choice politicians.

I mean, at the end of the day, I trust the vast vast majority of women aren't secretly sociopaths waiting until week 27 to end their pregnancy, but that makes me a SJW to some.
