      If you want to know your doctor's stand, just ask. But forced birth? If there's a baby in there it will have to come out, sooner or later, dead or alive, artificially and perhaps in pieces, or naturally and intact. Which type is "forced"?

      Replying to @jorient @DrJenGunter

      My kiddo was a mid-forceps delivery (and still stubborn 35 years later) - that's how THEY came out. Someone in my family gave birth to twins via C-section. Neither of those was "natural." You don't get to judge my choices, you have to do what's medically best for me.

      Natural in that baby was allowed to mature without artificially inducing death, and doctor assisted nature in a way best for BOTH patients, mother and child

      Dr. Orient and her organization are sometimes said to be the medical equivalent of Ayn Rand. But she was very prochoice. Her words below.pic.twitter.com/NLf2phNTcB

      The AAPS is libertarian, except when it isn't, and reproductive rights is an area where AAPS is as regressive as the most fundamentalist evangelical. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-journal-of-american-physicians-and-surgeons-ideology-trumps-science-based-medicine/ …

          Yes. And although Rand never wrote about vaccines, many followers of her philosophy would detest AAPS pseudoscience on vaccines and such. https://atlassociety.org/commentary/commentary-blog/4103-public-health-and-government-policy …pic.twitter.com/8U3cE3So9a

          And lastly, as an immigrant herself, Rand was pro-immigration. Whereas Dr. Orient spreads medically dubious ideas (to be kind) about dirty immigrants spreading disease. First link is Rand:https://ari.aynrand.org/blog/2017/02/07/ayn-rand-on-immigration …
