I was told to terminate my second pregnancy because something was terribly wrong with the baby. I didn't. Am very happy to see my completely healthy daughter thrive! There is absolutely nothing wrong with her. She is my favorite person in the world and will soon celebrate her 17th birthday!
My husband's nephew the same- mom told to abort due to down syndrome (even so this is no reason in my opinion), but thing is he was born totally healthy and not with down syndrome either. Let God decide how long or short our lives should be.
@@NotSoNaturalLife exactly! I'm thinking many many babies! They can't even measure babies accurately yet- I was induced due to baby's head being "very big" already according to Dr. After birth he was measured and baby's head was normal size for date and induction was completely unnecessary.
@mo-sy9ws the same thing with me, they genetic tests came back saying my daughter had down syndrome. The doctor was adamant that I should terminate, when I refused he made me sign some disclaimer document. I don't even know what was on the document. 3 years later my daughter does not have down syndrome, she's very healthy ahead of all milestones for children her age. The kindergarten teacher cannot even understand her progress. ...and to think, had I listened to the doctor.
My sister had a complicated, scary pregnancy 7 years ago, when she discovered at 20 weeks that her water had ruptured some time previously. Her baby was still alive, but her doctor at the time suggested that she have an abortion or just go about her daily life waiting for her body to spontaneously abort the child within the next few weeks. Instead, she got in touch with a pro-life OB and opted to put herself on bedrest, first at home and then, four weeks later, in the hospital. Two weeks following that, my sister gave birth to her daughter at 26 weeks 3 days. She spent 53 days in the NICU, and came home weighing just under 5 lbs. Now Veronica is an intelligent, kind 7-year-old without any complications from her early birth or complicated gestation!
Thank God! Happy to have come across this comment. My wife and I had been trying for 10 years to have a child. On a whim her Chiropractor suggested that she go gluten free because of her discomfort and YEARS of unexplained joint pain and inflammation. EVERYONE kept throwing prescriptions at her to manage the issue. Once we changed our diets and left the gluten off the menu, she started to notice the difference IMMEDIATELY! Still, doctors were trying to discredit the change and give her more medication which she declined to take. Once her body started to stabilize we had our first miscarriage. It was exciting and saddening at the same time because up until then there was no movement on us being able to have a child. We were able have our first child who came out at 30 weeks and we are pregnant again with a little girl. I like to tell people that I am a proud father of 5. 3 Heavenly children, one on the way and another that is giving me a run for my money as a parent.
That is crazy.. my friend started leaking at 28 weeks I think, and they admited her to the hospital asap, they want to hold you as long as possible at bed rest for the baby to grow because every day is crucial. She gave birth at 32 weeks. No one in my country (Lithuania) suggest abortion in such cases, they do everything it takes to save the baby. I guess its because abortions first are forbiden after week 12, secondly we have a mixed health care system, so private and public, thus we don't make "bussiness" out of abortions.
@@iammr.h2392 Awww beautiful story! I have 5 also. 3 in Heaven and two beautiful girls 18 & 28 here with us. I also have 2 grandbabies in Heaven & 2 With us here ❤❤ They all count! I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia before my 18 yr old was born. Now being tested for Celiac disease (Auto immune gluten allergy) and Rhuematoid Arthritis bcuz my pain and inflammation is off the charts. Glad to hear that removing gluten helped your wife. I feel hopeful after reading of her health struggles. It's awful living in chronic pain. I never got pregnant again after my youngest & they had told me after my 1st miscarriage and birth of my first born and subsequent 2 more miscarriages that I'd likely never carry to term again and had given up hope..10 yrs later my youngest came as a surprise and held on tight. ❤ Congratulations on your new little girl arriving shortly! I absolutely love being a girl Mom. After a long string of girls in the family.. my daughter had our first little boy.. he will be 3 in December. 🥰 my youngest is now engaged and in nursing school. She wants to plan her family after she graduates. Life is beautiful and all babies are precious ❤❤ Congrats Papa Sending up prayers for your family to always be blessed with an abundance of Joy and health. ❤
My parents were told I had a high likelihood of having Down Syndrome and were advised to consider abortion. A couple decades letter, I ended up joining the Marines and serving two tours in Afghanistan, got straight A's in college with university honors, and now have a successful career in finance. Take that, medical system. Guess y'all don't know everything after all. 💪
Same thing happened to my daughter! She too chose life, her son, has a 4. In college and such a wonderful kind young man who is a force of good and a voice God uses
The test that they make show you stats, but they are not 100% sure ever. I know a case where a women was told that 70% was the chance for down syndrome, she choose not to abort, the baby was healthy. 🤷 But all in all we are just killing straight forward down syndrome children, which shouldn't we in general think of another way how to take care of them? Its eugenics.
My son was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Defects at 21 weeks in utero. I was given three options: 1) End the pregnancy 2) Surgeries after birth 3) Do nothing (comfort care after birth) We chose the only option that gave life to my son. He's 8 years old now and thriving!
Beautiful! I gave birth to a 21 week 5 day infant in 2022. She breathed on her own for 7 hours and I held her as long as I could. I know she’s in heaven. I gave her all the life I could. She was baptized as well;)
Thank you, yes I believe she is and I’ve lost 3 others at earlier gestation that I wasn’t able to baptize so I appreciate this. Can you tell me what verse you’re referencing though? Thank you. It was a gift to be able to baptize my daughter. It was a right of passage and very healing for me to know she had that sacrament.
@@TN-bi9qf the Bible says you are not subject to the judgement until you are at the age of reason ( to understand why you need the gospel) since babies, young children, mentally handicapped people, don't understand yet, they get to go to heaven automatically.
Unless you are born again in water and in Spirit you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven, In the Old testament babies were circumcised to be part of Gods Chosen People, In the new testament Baptism replaces circumcision and is necessary to be part of Gods Chosen people The promise is to You and to YOUR CHILDREN says the Apostle Peter in the book of Acts of the Apostles Cornelius was baptized and also his ENTIRE FAMILY was baptized too, that includes children Children don’t have Sin but are BORN with the original sin PSALM 51:5 Indeed, I was born guilty, a sinner since my mother conceived me. “By one man Adam death entered the world” Saint John the Baptist did not want to baptize Jesus because Jesus Had No Sin!!! Jesus said we must do this so That ALL JUSTICE IS ACCOMPLISHED Children need baptism not because they are sinners, but because they must be born in WATER AND SPIRIT TO FULFILL GODS JUSTICE
I’ve worked in high risk ob for going on 20 years and she is totally correct. I’ve been wanting to scream this for years. We have never had a situation, even at a trauma hospital, where an abortion was medically necessary. We would deliver the baby alive and do everything we could to save both the mother and the baby.
I worked as an ICU nurse and we did several emergency C-sections to save both mom and baby. The NICU team would be right there to work on the baby while we took care of the mother.
What about an ectopic pregnancy? This is not a sustainable pregnancy and is life threatening for the mom. I developed pre-eclampsia and HELLPS with my second and she was born premature (a healthy 19 yr old now), so yes, I absolutely agree that there is zero medical reason to abort after the first trimester. But in first trimester, with ectopic pregnancy, there is no other option and time is not on your side.
Dr R is the real deal - I saw her when I was trying to conceive my 3rd baby and she was so encouraging and offered so many insights. I got pregnant the following month and am about to deliver my baby in 2 weeks. I'm so glad more people are hearing her story and her message.
Here is a story I never told to anyone and the main reason why I'm pro life. My girlfriend at the time received a call from one of her friend who had just received an abortion. On speakerphone, I heard her describe the procedure and I felt physically sick. The fact that they give Valium or other drugs to "calm" down is even worse because there is a reason for the anguish and hesitation: you are ending your child. In the moment you don't understand what is truly happening and lose your will to stand up for yourself, you're just mellowed out, but when you come down reality catches you back. I could hear how broken she was and how she was just starting to realize the permanence of her decision (heavily influenced by the current nihilistic culture, mind you) The pain in her voice still haunts me, knowing how the medical field treats abortion as the best solution.
Thank you for sharing. It's extremely traumatic for the women that undergo that life-altering procedure. I've never, but I know women who have. Even though they willingly chose that course of action, learning to live with the aftermath is difficult.
Yes, the aftermath is so traumatic, it still haunts me, 24 years later. It especially hit home every time I gave birth to my 3 children.... When my 3 children were born later in my 20s and 30s, instead of being in the "happy baby bubble", I spent SO SO SO much time mourning my abortion and the choice made when I was 18 and scared. It hits home and to this day I regret and hate myself for the choice I made.
Thousands of Dr.s agree that abortion is never necessary. Most won't speak publicly about it. Then u have abortionists who think a bad hair day is a medically necessary reason.
This woman is a liar. A fetus isn't a child. That's the first lie. An ectopic pregnancy requires an abortion. There are spontaneous abortions every day in the US. So, she's full of crap.
At my 20 week scan of my first pregnancy, I was told that my baby had no kidneys and was incompatible with life. I will never forget the doctor’s words when in shock I asked what that meant. She said, “your baby is not going to make it, if I were you I would abort.” Then she walked away. By the grace of God, I refused to terminate my pregnancy and give my baby the warmth, care, and life, I could best give her. I was told that my life was at risk if I decided to proceed with the pregnancy. I never thought that I would have to argue against abortion with my doctors. I was told that my baby would likely not make it to full term and if she did I would need a c section and she would either be still birth or last a couple minutes alive. My husband and I prayed the rosary everyday. I carried my daughter to full term, I held her peacefully alive for 7 beautiful days before she was lifted up to heaven. My daughter Rosalie is the best gift God could have given me. During her time here, I felt what I would best describe a little taste of heaven. My daughter gifted me what it means to Love. God gives you grace.
I am just so tired of religious whackos who lie about everything. They can't even call it a fetus. The lie and call it a child. They hate the mother so much, they disregard everything about her.
Or that abortion is health care. If the medical or insurance language was acurate and understandable then we wouldn’t have these discussions. A miscarriage is a miscarriage, an etopic pregnancy is an etopic pregnancy, and an abortion is an abortion.
Tell that to the 20-something women suing the state of Texas who had WANTED pregnancies that turned tragic. Ask them about how the Texas abortion ban made their lives hell because they couldn't get the treatment they needed and in some cases sent them to the brink of death.
@lorrilewis2178 that has nothing to do with pro-life laws and everything to do with incompetent doctors who's pro abortion agenda is more important to them than the life of the woman.
Not only medical professionals but ALL of us should be asking ourselves how did we get to a society where the QUESTION if killing a baby was even AN OPTION !?!?! That’s not even a question us humans have the right to deny. even in the worst situation that the left always uses “ra**” and in that situation I say the baby doesn’t need to be raised by the victim but not KILL IT !?!?! I told my ex when she started to try dispute this with me it’s the way the question it self is said up that disgust ME ! Why are kids having unprotected eggs without parents being held responsible???? Especially men as a man I say any man that abandons child they will be jailed same with woman but they get fined so many solutions I just gave that can end this once for all but no one listens. Sorry for yapping I can’t stand to think about lifeless babies
A person coming to her with a life threatening pregnancy or an unwanted pregnancy and being told by her to remain pregnant because she won’t help them, will not call this doctor kind, consistent or compassionate. Listen to the suffering and trauma that pregnant people have experienced instead of leaning on your religious ideology, and you would know.
@@BlahblahBlop Abortion is NEVER medically necessary as “treatment”. You cannot love your neighbor while supporting or accepting systems that crush, exploit, and dehumanize them. So in order for someone to prove me wrong when I say abortion is never medically necessary as treatment (using the CDC definition of abortion), they’d have to show me a situation where we have a living child inside of the woman’s uterus, where it is NECESSARY to INTENTIONALLY kill that child in the uterus, and then deliver the child dead…rather than ultimately allowing that child to have a live birth. So keep in mind, if you have to induce pre-term delivery or induce labor early to save the life of the mother and that child comes out alive, and you’re NOT intentionally killing the child in the womb prior to the birth, then that is NOT considered an abortion. You would have to show me an instance where it’s necessary to INTENTIONALLY kill the child in the uterus and then deliver the child in order to prove me wrong. So I will stress it again…It has to be MEDICALLY NECESSARY, as in there is no other way. So if you could deliver the child prematurely and it’s just an unfortunate consequence that after that child is delivered alive that because it was a premature delivery the child can’t survive on its own outside the womb and it dies outside the womb after a live birth, that’s NOT considered an abortion. You’d have to show me an example where you have to intentionally kill the child in the uterus FIRST, and THEN deliver the child dead. Rather than just delivering that child alive. I have NOT SEEN any evidence that it is ever NECESSARY to intentionally kill a child in the uterus and then deliver them dead, rather than just deliver that child alive. CDC definition of abortion: For the purpose of surveillance, a legal induced abortion is defined as an intervention performed by a license clinician (e.g. a physician, nurse-midwife, nurse practitioner, physician assistant) within the limits of state regulations, that is intended to terminate a suspected or known ongoing intrauterine pregnancy and that does not result in a live birth. This definition excludes management of intrauterine fetal death, early pregnancy failure/loss, ectopic pregnancy, or retained products of conception. Most states and jurisdictions that collect abortion data report whether an abortion was performed by medication or surgery.
@@jakey3887 I have researched and found stories where women who were told that their baby would not live because of an irreversible defect. They wanted to end the pregnancy to prevent the strain on their bodies that this unviable pregnancy would put on it, like rendering them sterile, but their states new laws forbid it so they were forced to give birth and risk developing sterility and sepsis just to have a baby who won't live. How is that any better than termination of a pregnancy.
@@jakey3887 One woman, after roe was overturned, found out that her baby never developed lungs and her state's laws would have made her give birth anyway. She had to go to new york and when she got there she learned her baby died in utero and if she didn't have the body removed soon she would be at risk of sepsis.
@@mivasadl644that women died because of malpractice due to her doctor not doing basic blood tests. If you knew the treatments for the things she had you would know a simple blood test would have shown at.
This woman is outstanding. What an intelligent, balanced doctor, and what an incredible gift to have her speaking for the pro-life movement. Abortion is never necessary, and every human being has a right to life. It’s our job to defend and uphold that reality.
and every woman/man/patient/person deserves and has the right to good, ethical, caring CARE! Who kit and caboodle. She's awesome. She is my gyn, and as a nurse, I'm hard on doctors ;) I approve of her ;)
100%. As someone who has had an ectopic pregnancy, I’m sick of that scenario, among others, being used as a means of justifying elective abortion or being equated with it as if they are the same when they are not. I find it truly astonishing that people are so misinformed and/or in denial about what pregnancy is, what abortion is, and what ethical medical care is thay they can’t see the differences between life and death, killing and allowing for the possibility of death, etc. As a Christian I know the Bible says that the heart is wicked and people deny God’s righteousness, but I still continue to be heartbroken and astounded by the disgusting and sad nature of it all. Lord, save us! Show us Your wisdom and soften hearts toward You.
I always suspected there was something “fishy” about abortion and the “pro-choice” movement. The moment I realized this was in my sophomore year of hs Health class. I found it suspicious that they would spend all this time talking about sex and reproduction and the teacher publicly came out and said abortion was a woman’s right and that she was pro-choice yet never actually bothered to discuss WHAT AN ABORTION ACTUALLY WAS! I was too young to have the next level of curiosity which is to ask in detail what it was. But that always lingered in my mind. It wasn’t until later on that I realized what it actually was. Then I realized “Oh, well there’s a reason why they don’t actually talk about abortion in specific detail and sort of vaguely tap dance around the issue and divert attention away from the actual facts and procedure and focus on the feelings of the mother.” I love this interview…it’s great perspective and many of these points will change people’s minds when I engage them on it
Yes, they always try to keep us from showing anything graphic during such debates...no pictures, no video, no descriptions...this shows, more than anything, that they know just how vile and evil this act is.
Fertility is not a disease. Pregnancy is not an illness. Birth is not an emergency. Breastfeeding is not unnatural. The medicalization of women is evil. Women should be cared and respected for their beautiful design, the ability to become mothers. It’s all connected.
A fetus is a parasite. You clearly don't know how a fetus especially a male fetus destroys her body. A woman is more likely to be a chimera than a man. Stop imposing your religious quackery onto others.
Pregnancy is an illness. Women should have paid leave for any sick day they need when pregnant and we need time off work to recover after giving birth. Babies are little mammals and need mummy and daddy to cuddle them when they are tiny. It is because women are not supported, empowered and compensated that they chose not to carry children. I am fully pro choice. Even more so after being deserted by my ex and living in poverty with two special needs kids. Because in my shoes I don't think many women would last. Society makes women pay a high price for having children. I am not able to watch this video anymore as it is ridiculous
@@zoeolsson5683I'm not sick I'm pregnant. I'm not ill I'm pregnant. I can do things and not coughing up a lung or need blood. I'm so sick of people acting as if pregnant women are sick and have an illness. We are not sick we are pregnant. We aren't caughing up lungs and need medication in order to get rid of an illness. Actually no illness benefits the body the way pregnancy does.
@@zoeolsson5683 I agree mothers and their children should be cared for most especially by the father/husband. Mothers should not kill their children. Fathers should not abandon their children. #protectthefamily
I’m so so tired of the argument that it’s sometimes medically necessary to abort a baby. NO! Killing the baby directly is never going to save or cure the mom. Yes, some conditions may require a delivery prior to the baby’s viability which is so heartbreaking to think about but the intention is completely different and does not involve pulling the baby apart or poisoning it.
There are also those situations where the baby never developed primary organs like their kidneys or their lungs or have a heart defect that won't allow them to even live more than a few minutes outside the womb.
There was a woman who found out that her baby never developed lungs. She would not reach develop fully and, even if she somehow made it to delivery, wouldn't survive because she would sufficate in minutes. She met all her state requirements for an emergency termination but the state still ruled against her. She had to fly to New York to get the pregnancy terminated. Once she got to New York, the doctors said that her baby had died and that she needed to have it removed to avoid going septic.
@@freedomwriter1995 so you deliver the baby early. You don’t inject it with poison or rip it apart in utero. There are still ways to be compassionate and humane even if the baby isn’t going to survive delivery
@@carriebradon2807 some states have laws where if two doctors agree that the baby won't survive or the mothers life is at risk then the pregnancy can be terminated. However, they're too afraid to even say that because of the consequences they face due to the anti abortion laws. They think that, even if the two of them agree, some prolife doctor will find some rediculous excuse to say that the pregnancy is viable (when it isn't) just because he doesn't want any pregnancy to be terminated ever. Those doctors end up in jail, they lose their licenses, and the woman faces the agony and medical complications and even death of an unviable pregnancy.
@@freedomwriter1995 if a woman would fly to another state to have an abortion, she could also fly to another state to receive compassionate medical care in these rare yet heartbreaking situations where her baby isn’t going to survive long after delivery. You wouldn’t directly inject poison in your child or cut their body apart because their organs were failing. You’d take them to the best hospital and find specialists who would do everything that they can to help save your child or make them comfortable if there was nothing that could be done. Babies in the womb ARE children and they deserve the same dignity and compassion as children who have been born already. We need to as a culture stop treating them like parasites and only humanizing them after they’re born.
I met Dr and her husband at catholic family camp. She held my baby Danny and I asked her to feel his skull for me as a “second opinion”. Didn’t know she was a pro-life speaker. I was a complete stranger and she and her husband were so nice to me.
the lack of courage with our healthcare system is one thing..the lack of care to think about things to have the courage, even more rare. The same ones who don't want think about abortion are the same ones continuing to give covaids shots
Affection for children among women has gone down since 1970, and men became scapegoat in-between the crossfire of women's rights on the left and women's rights on the right.
I worked in Labor & Delivery for over 12 years. I’ve had to work with medically necessary preterm deliveries. Never once where they called abortions. My head spins every time I hear this propaganda!
What about those women whose pregnancy complications will cause her to become sterile and the baby will not live more than a few minutes once born due to never developing lungs.
When i was 20 weeks pregnant they saw 2 cysts on my babys brain and suggested it could mean she had a rare horrible disease. She was born conpletely healthy. She is in preschool now.
Please do the educational session! This is a wonderful conversation that has blessed me immensely! Thank you both for your work 💕 You’re saving and changing lives!
Please have Dr. Ruberu back! I’d love a whole discussion dedicated to menstruation and hormonal health, especially as it relates to fertility. This is not talked about enough!
My black doctor advised me to do an amniocentesis because my triple screen for downs came back positive. I was pregnant with twins. Although I was not happy with my pregnancy due to marital problems I was not ready to do an abortion as she advised Finally I got tired of her bashing me every time I saw her. I got so pissed off and told her whatever God wants me to have thats what I'm having. I had 2 healthy boys who are now 25 years old. My marriage fell apart 2 months after they were born. I took care of my 3 boys all by myself. Divorce my no good husband. Finished school with a degree in accounting and ended my education as a RN Bsn Cpn. God in his mercies saw me through every day and im grateful for all the mercies he had shown me. Today I serve a risen savior and looking forward to 31 years at my current job and retirement in the near future.
Where is the hope that men who impregnate women are made responsible for those offspring? Men walk away scottfree. What do you care?? You don't have to do crap the rest of your life. When men are made responsible for their part in ejaculating sperm into a woman then come talk to women. Get off your pompous ass and protest men walking away.
The fact that medical professionals are voicing a different opinion than what I've always heard, means the decision shouldn't be in the hands of politicians.
What a beautiful, lovely doctor. We need more like her OBGYN like her that really understand and treat women’s body’s. I love her story and that she is so close to God. (Plus, her blue dress is absolutely gorgeous!) ❤
I thought I knew nearly everything there is to know about my body, but lo and behold you tell me more! I feel so educated. This is invaluable information!
Alan Guttmacher, president of Planned Parenthood and an ob/gyn stated,"Today it is possible for almost any patient to be brought through pregnancy alive unless she suffers from a fatal disease such as cancer or leukemia and if so abortion would be unlikely to prolong, much less save, life". "Abortion - Yesterday, today and tomorrow:The case for legalized abortion now" Berkley, Calif, Diablo Press, 1967
Hardly ever not never. There are some women who are told they shouldn’t carry out a birth due to the high chances of death to the mother the further it went. I know someone personally who was told that and she ended up losing her life and the child did not survive. I’ve seen other stories of the same thing. Seemingly, it happens more to black women than any other group and it we need to have more of a focus on our healthcare. So to say it’s never necessary, I don’t agree. Maybe it was her doctor or the hospital idk, but a deeper focus needs to be put towards as to why this is the case.
Something that I have considered, each time we lose a family member in death from a disease that has hunted humanity for years, then you ask God why? The answer is for years Jehovah God has sent children here through women’s wombs, these children each one of them had gifts in them. Here is my question, how many times through abortion have women been induced to kill their children? How many of these children have come with gifts to save us from these diseases and been put to death by an abortion?
I'm so thankful to God that Dr. Monique Ruberu wanted to give back to God, Such beautiful ladies with humble hearts. Thank you so much for this video. It was very informative. I knew a married couple who was told that their baby was going to be Down Syndrome and they advised them to terminate the pregnancy. They refused. That baby is a grown man and not Down Syndrome. I just wanted to let you know that their doctor was wrong.
Thank you so much for this video! It will be added to my playlist, so that when I eventually start my young women’s after school program, this will be on their curriculum
When I was 5 (1980) a couple who were family friends parents were pregnant with her third. They were Catholic. The doctors warned them if she went ahead with it she was more than likely to have a stroke from blotclotts and be incapacitated. They were very devout and trusted G-d with it and had the baby. Everthing the doctors warned happened. She was severly mentally and physically damaged, never knew her baby, and left 3 under 3 without a mom. She had palliative care for 15 yrs and died. So saying it doesnt happen is just not true. It was medically necessary for her but she chose the baby. And that was her choice. I resisted G-d til I was 22 bc all I remembered was He "didn't come through" for that faithful couple. I never had my own children either bc I subconciously never forgot. I am pro life but to me I've kept it at theoretical. I let others "fight" this issue.
I am thinking you meant 15 days rather than 15 years. I am curious about the type of care she received. I wonder if her doctors worked with her to keep her healthy and increase her odds or if they wrote her off because she rejected abortion.
@@debblouinit was in Canada. It wasn-t like "your" "psycho system" or ideologies. This doctor is a kook. I-m just seeing more now lol. No PMS and pain? No wonder people think we're nuts Just Wow.
I had to make a similar decision and I chose to save my life and be there for my son to watch him grow up. I appreciate your comment, I am pro life as well but I unfortunately was put into a position no one wants to make that kind of awful decision.
Are you sure about that? What about preterm premature rupture of membranes. This can literally lead to a fatal sepsis infection or dangerous hemorrhaging for the mother
PROM requires delivery of the baby regardless due to the waters, ya know, having broken. That doesn't mean you cause it immense agony via saline drowning or cutting it apart in the womb. Preemie care has now made it so the baby can survive as early as 21 weeks, and before then, it's a horrible, sad situation, but at least let the baby pass loved and held, not ripped apart.
@MrsSoriano5-ps9ch what is the quality of life for most of the babies born at 21 weeks? I have wondered if it's children's best interest for them to have medical interventions that artificially keep them alive. Should medical professionals be playing God? Does it really help the child or just prevent parents from having to grieve for a while longer?
this was an INCREDIBLE interview and brief insight of womens health and PRO LIFE!!! incredible and i love the expertise from the host and the information
Saw her this morning in Philly at the abortion facility trying to counsel women out of killing their children, offering them assistance. We need more people on the front lines of these facilities trying to ignite the conscience of these women. When the pro abort protesters are there it’s an extra deterrent for people going to the facilities to kill their babies, because they act so irreverently, playing music and dancing as these women, up to 6 months pregnant, mostly all black, walk into the clinic. Please if you haven’t come out to see it, wherever you stand. It will give new perspective
Curious. The prolife center that I am affiliated with has tried to focus on assisting black mothers. The "success" rate is very low. The government has systemically destroyed their families and culture.
I'm pregnant with my fourth child and can't imagine how any mom could opt for an abortion, especially as a means of birth control. I stopped taking birth control because it was just throwing my cycle off and I already had high estrogen levels.
@@mivasadl644caring for women while pregnant no matter condition is caring for women lmfao you can't get anymore caring then that. I get you don't know what that means.
When I was 18 and pregnant with an unplanned pregnancy, I drove by an abortion protest in front of an abortion clinic. I pulled over and stood alongside of them. They gave me a sign to hold…I watched this one woman scurrying in with her partner’s arm around her, and she was shielding her face in shame and embarrassment. It’s a visual I will never forget. I don’t know what she decided to do. Before I got pregnant, I was vehemently pro-“choice”….I remember feeling legitimately fearful at the prospect of Bush Sr becoming president, because I thought he would take away my right to have an abortion…I was sexually active and I felt genuine fear if Clinton wasn’t elected, that I might not be able to have an abortion if I needed… But when I became pregnant my senior year (even though I was on birth control!), I somehow just intuitively knew that I couldn’t have an abortion. My best friend had had one and I remember trying to tell her not to do it…I didn’t know why, just something was making me root for life. But she was terrified her father would kick her out of the house. I was an atheist. But when I began to feel my baby moving inside me, I was struck by the miracle of life. I began to research abortion…looking up abortion pictures and even found a book in my school library about abortion…which thankfully was showing the truth of it….stories and pictures of aborted babies who survived but stuffed in white bins to die by suffocation…cold and alone… I went to the Catholic Church because they were the only ones I knew who were staunchly pro-life. So much more I could say…but my friend-when her dad found out about me, he told her “I don’t know why her parents aren’t being more supportive-if this happened to you or your sister, I would do everything I could to support you.” This culture that promotes promiscuity among girls too young to know how to face the realistic outcome of s*x is a big part of the problem. At that age, we are very prone to believing everything we hear…and fearing parents, our future, etc… My child is a man now. He is an amazing person, very successful, and I’m so thankful that God gave me that instinct and wisdom to choose life!!
What about an ectopic pregnancy? I am pro-life, but had an ectopic pregnancy lost my baby and the tube through no fault of my own. I ended up losing 5 babies throughout the years. It breaks my heart that my medical record says 1 abortion. Although that’s was nothing I had chosen. But it was medically necessary!!! JS
You are correct, unfortunately ectopic pregnancies can be fatal for the mother if not immediately taken care of. I’m sorry for what you’ve gone through, that’s not easy.
An ectopic pregnancy is not a viable pregnancy from conception. So, I wouldn't even count that as an abortion. An abortion is purposefully ending a perfectly viable pregnancy, which an ectopic pregnancy is not.
@@googiesable You’re creating definitions for things that doctors don’t use. An abortion in medical terminology is any termination of a pregnancy. A “miscarriage” is called a spontaneous abortion. An unintended medically necessary abortion like for an ectopic pregnancy where the mother wished she could keep the child, is still called an abortion. This matters because there are some politicians who want to retroactively criminalize all abortions. Which means if you have a notation of abortion in your medical record you and / or your doctor could be harassed in court for further details. Women who have had ectopic pregnancies all have “abortion” in their medical record. You wanting to use political rhetoric to say your definition of abortion is only voluntary unnecessary procedures, doesn’t change how the word is used by doctors.
@@googiesable For the record, I’m in favor of restrictions on unnecessary voluntary abortions, for the sake of preserving innocent life. What I’m not in favor of, is lying and endangering women to push a certain rhetorical narrative that isn’t true.
THANK YOU!..for this amazing testimony of medical facts about women's physiology and health. THIS doctor cleared up a lot. THIS Doctor should be heard ...across the country. Sadly, the pro-abortion people will stop it immediately.
Estrogen dominance is also very common in patients with MTHFR double copy, as it's hard to detox that. Also mold toxicity, candida, fungal, B12 deficiencies (which are not accurate on blood work since things like SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth which has many causes) which can look sufficient on Labcorp labs, but that's in the blood and being redistributed vs absorbed. Soooooo many things to look at to help a patient and functional medicine is the way. It's expensive but worth it. When we look at the crap we buy, 'smart' tech, eating out, travel, etc.....most of us can afford this. Priorities
34:28 - I like these terms. I had a miscarriage but my paperwork said "Abortion". I H-Worded (meaning very dislike but YT deletes comments using that word) that they used that word.
I'm so glad to hear this spoken of - I've never been able to back up my claim that "life of the mother" is a bogus excuse, other than knowing that our bodies were created to carry and give birth to babies, and just my God-given conviction that we can't be doing this, it's so backwards. And to some people, those aren't enough apparently.
This was really helpful. I love the fact that you gave so many alternatives and the woman who did not give up on her child despite the fact. It just gave me a sense of true strength in womanhood. Just amazing she is and you all are for fighting for this cause🙏🏾
I had a miscarriage in May 1980 with a DNC at the age of 24. As I was waking from the anesthesia a person was speaking with my husband about the abortion. I told her in no uncertain terms that I had a miscarriage not an abortion. She replied it was a spontaneous abortion and that is the same as a miscarriage. I was livid since I am a cradle Catholic and do not believe in abortion and did not want it labeled as one spontaneous or not! To this day I am upset by this.
You are correct. Miscarriage is not abortion in any sense that is relevant to the abortion debate. Miscarriage is obviously not the intentional killing of a child, regardless of the label "spontaneous abortion." So sorry for your loss. Miscarriage is a tragedy.
I am a Christian, & I am pro life except when both mother & child will die. My married best friends (both also Christian) had an ectopic pregnancy. The more the baby grew, the more mom's life was in danger. They were in Anchorage, with joy, for their 6 week scan. When they were given the terrible news, they were told they had to immediately terminate the baby. They lived 6 hours from a level 1 hospital. They had to stay in Anchorage & within minutes of a hospital because of the chance of her bleeding to death when the baby released from her fallopian tubes. They were both stuck there, with him missing work by her side, for weeks As it was, she almost bled to death. They took 24 hours to pray & seek guidance from our church & pastor before making this huge decision. The gynecologist saw her in the office before opening hours & prayed with her. He also was a believer. Could this be the one instance of medical necessity?
Not a fan of dishonesty. People are saying “nobody is talking about ectopic pregnancy. Thats different.” The lady made the statement “an abortion is never medically necessary” and she gave no stipulations or caveats for ectopic pregnancies. She’s a trained ob…I doubt that mentioning ectopic pregnancies was unintentional.
What about an ectopic pregnancy where the baby implants wrong? I'm extremely pro life, but it does seem medically necessary then. It would 100% kill the mother wouldn't it? There are probably other conditions. I'm all for surgeries that could correct this instead of ending the pregnancy, but is that even possible? I do 100% agree that, if it's possible at all to save both, do so. Abortion isn't necessary after the baby is is enough to stand even a small chance outside of the womb. But what about before then?
@googiesable No its not. Abortion is the termination of any pregnancy. If this definition you made up and are spaming all over the comments were true, then there would be no Abortion debate in the first place. Ectopic pregnancy termination =abortion The baby died and the woman's body isn't going into labor to eject the dead fetus that will rot inside of her, so she needs to have it manually removed = abortion Spontaneous miscarriage that leaves fetal remains behind which need to be removed via a D&C =abortion. Changing the definition of abortion doesn't change the reality of circumstances that make it necessary and does nothing to alleviate the truth that sometimes it is necessary to end a pregnancy.
Yes, and she takes time to explain this in the second half of the video. It's in how it's defined. Non-viable pregnancies are distinctly different by definition from "elective abortions," and in the case where a baby can be delivered early to save the mother's life, this is better than an "abortion," EVEN if the baby doesn't survive in the long term. "Abortion" is an unnatural and traumatic procedure.
@@hannahlevy6074 I thought I watched the whole video, but maybe I got distracted and didn't see this part. Completely agreed that it's different than elective abortions. Just didn't know what she said about it until now. Thanks :) I love how she fights, literally fights back, against their rabid narrative and desperation to be allowed to kill unborn children.
How would abortion solve that? Most pregnancy complications happen after 20 weeks, which is basically the time of possible viability out of the uterus; the logical and safest solution would be delivery, not abortion.
It just hit me. We need a lot of practical mental health care available and for free for these women. We need it available at the very moment they come for any kind of help and something they need to make an appointment for. Of course they need that follow up counseling too. But when a woman or girl shows up scared and many times in shock, we need someone that can really help draw out their fears and their desires and work with them to help the mother understand how either decision will change her. Both decisions DO change a girl/woman no matter her choice. I myself made a terrible decision when I was 24. It was both out of fear and I was ain shock over it. That tragic decision changed me!
Abortion is not medically necessary, if the mother wont die of pregnancy or delivery. There are certain diseases in which abortion is necessary to save the mother’s life, such as advanced heart failure in pregnancy. Otherwise, i am pro-life and against abortion too.
She offers the solution of a medically necessary early delivery in lieu of abortion. Destroying the baby in the womb is a terrible way for the baby to die. It's worth watching the second half of the video.
Great interview. I did napro technology and had 3 healthy babies ❤️ recommended it to a friend who could not afford ivf and she also had a healthy baby, recommended it to another friend and she is in the process of charting 🙌 praise God! One ovary, ovarian cyst, endometriosis, PCOS, all treatable with napro technology, charting, and changing your diet ❤
We need more videos with Dr. Monique Ruberu, about women’s health overall. I’m a med student and I just realized that I’ve been misinformed about how the female reproductive system functions.
I was told to terminate my second pregnancy because something was terribly wrong with the baby. I didn't. Am very happy to see my completely healthy daughter thrive! There is absolutely nothing wrong with her. She is my favorite person in the world and will soon celebrate her 17th birthday!
My husband's nephew the same- mom told to abort due to down syndrome (even so this is no reason in my opinion), but thing is he was born totally healthy and not with down syndrome either. Let God decide how long or short our lives should be.
That is insane. How could they be so wrong? How many babies have died this way?
@@NotSoNaturalLife exactly! I'm thinking many many babies! They can't even measure babies accurately yet- I was induced due to baby's head being "very big" already according to Dr. After birth he was measured and baby's head was normal size for date and induction was completely unnecessary.
@@NotSoNaturalLifeIn my immediate family two preborn babies were diagnosed with Downs. One is now a doctor and the other a nurse.
@mo-sy9ws the same thing with me, they genetic tests came back saying my daughter had down syndrome. The doctor was adamant that I should terminate, when I refused he made me sign some disclaimer document. I don't even know what was on the document. 3 years later my daughter does not have down syndrome, she's very healthy ahead of all milestones for children her age. The kindergarten teacher cannot even understand her progress. ...and to think, had I listened to the doctor.
My sister had a complicated, scary pregnancy 7 years ago, when she discovered at 20 weeks that her water had ruptured some time previously. Her baby was still alive, but her doctor at the time suggested that she have an abortion or just go about her daily life waiting for her body to spontaneously abort the child within the next few weeks. Instead, she got in touch with a pro-life OB and opted to put herself on bedrest, first at home and then, four weeks later, in the hospital. Two weeks following that, my sister gave birth to her daughter at 26 weeks 3 days. She spent 53 days in the NICU, and came home weighing just under 5 lbs. Now Veronica is an intelligent, kind 7-year-old without any complications from her early birth or complicated gestation!
Thank God! Happy to have come across this comment. My wife and I had been trying for 10 years to have a child. On a whim her Chiropractor suggested that she go gluten free because of her discomfort and YEARS of unexplained joint pain and inflammation. EVERYONE kept throwing prescriptions at her to manage the issue. Once we changed our diets and left the gluten off the menu, she started to notice the difference IMMEDIATELY! Still, doctors were trying to discredit the change and give her more medication which she declined to take. Once her body started to stabilize we had our first miscarriage. It was exciting and saddening at the same time because up until then there was no movement on us being able to have a child. We were able have our first child who came out at 30 weeks and we are pregnant again with a little girl. I like to tell people that I am a proud father of 5. 3 Heavenly children, one on the way and another that is giving me a run for my money as a parent.
That is crazy.. my friend started leaking at 28 weeks I think, and they admited her to the hospital asap, they want to hold you as long as possible at bed rest for the baby to grow because every day is crucial. She gave birth at 32 weeks.
No one in my country (Lithuania) suggest abortion in such cases, they do everything it takes to save the baby.
I guess its because abortions first are forbiden after week 12, secondly we have a mixed health care system, so private and public, thus we don't make "bussiness" out of abortions.

My parents were told I had a high likelihood of having Down Syndrome and were advised to consider abortion. A couple decades letter, I ended up joining the Marines and serving two tours in Afghanistan, got straight A's in college with university honors, and now have a successful career in finance. Take that, medical system. Guess y'all don't know everything after all. 💪
🙏🙏🙏
Same thing happened to my daughter! She too chose life, her son, has a 4. In college and such a wonderful kind young man who is a force of good and a voice God uses
The test that they make show you stats, but they are not 100% sure ever.
I know a case where a women was told that 70% was the chance for down syndrome, she choose not to abort, the baby was healthy. 🤷
But all in all we are just killing straight forward down syndrome children, which shouldn't we in general think of another way how to take care of them? Its eugenics.
Thank you for your service! ❤🤍💙
Please share this , it needs to go viral!
My son was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Defects at 21 weeks in utero. I was given three options:
1) End the pregnancy
2) Surgeries after birth
3) Do nothing (comfort care after birth)
We chose the only option that gave life to my son.
He's 8 years old now and thriving!

Beautiful! I gave birth to a 21 week 5 day infant in 2022. She breathed on her own for 7 hours and I held her as long as I could. I know she’s in heaven. I gave her all the life I could. She was baptized as well;)
The Bible says that babies automatically go to heaven. They don't need a baptism. So yes your baby is there with God.
Thank you, yes I believe she is and I’ve lost 3 others at earlier gestation that I wasn’t able to baptize so I appreciate this. Can you tell me what verse you’re referencing though? Thank you. It was a gift to be able to baptize my daughter. It was a right of passage and very healing for me to know she had that sacrament.
Love you ❤

Children need baptism not because they are sinners, but because they must be born in WATER AND SPIRIT TO FULFILL GODS JUSTICE
I’ve worked in high risk ob for going on 20 years and she is totally correct. I’ve been wanting to scream this for years. We have never had a situation, even at a trauma hospital, where an abortion was medically necessary. We would deliver the baby alive and do everything we could to save both the mother and the baby.
❤Thank You
I worked as an ICU nurse and we did several emergency C-sections to save both mom and baby. The NICU team would be right there to work on the baby while we took care of the mother.
Remember those days?
What about an ectopic pregnancy? This is not a sustainable pregnancy and is life threatening for the mom.
I developed pre-eclampsia and HELLPS with my second and she was born premature (a healthy 19 yr old now), so yes, I absolutely agree that there is zero medical reason to abort after the first trimester. But in first trimester, with ectopic pregnancy, there is no other option and time is not on your side.
@justylex 31:08
Dr R is the real deal - I saw her when I was trying to conceive my 3rd baby and she was so encouraging and offered so many insights. I got pregnant the following month and am about to deliver my baby in 2 weeks. I'm so glad more people are hearing her story and her message.
Congratulations!!! 🥳🥳
Here is a story I never told to anyone and the main reason why I'm pro life. My girlfriend at the time received a call from one of her friend who had just received an abortion.
On speakerphone, I heard her describe the procedure and I felt physically sick. The fact that they give Valium or other drugs to "calm" down is even worse because there is a reason for the anguish and hesitation: you are ending your child. In the moment you don't understand what is truly happening and lose your will to stand up for yourself, you're just mellowed out, but when you come down reality catches you back.
I could hear how broken she was and how she was just starting to realize the permanence of her decision (heavily influenced by the current nihilistic culture, mind you)
The pain in her voice still haunts me, knowing how the medical field treats abortion as the best solution.
Thank you for sharing. It's extremely traumatic for the women that undergo that life-altering procedure. I've never, but I know women who have. Even though they willingly chose that course of action, learning to live with the aftermath is difficult.
Yes, the aftermath is so traumatic, it still haunts me, 24 years later. It especially hit home every time I gave birth to my 3 children....
When my 3 children were born later in my 20s and 30s, instead of being in the "happy baby bubble", I spent SO SO SO much time mourning my abortion and the choice made when I was 18 and scared.
It hits home and to this day I regret and hate myself for the choice I made.
Thousands of Dr.s agree that abortion is never necessary. Most won't speak publicly about it. Then u have abortionists who think a bad hair day is a medically necessary reason.
I saw someone comment she didn’t want to give up sushi , like girl what .. you can eat sushi .. relax don’t murder your child

@@liamjames5470 Sure Jan.
At my 20 week scan of my first pregnancy, I was told that my baby had no kidneys and was incompatible with life. I will never forget the doctor’s words when in shock I asked what that meant. She said, “your baby is not going to make it, if I were you I would abort.” Then she walked away. By the grace of God, I refused to terminate my pregnancy and give my baby the warmth, care, and life, I could best give her. I was told that my life was at risk if I decided to proceed with the pregnancy. I never thought that I would have to argue against abortion with my doctors. I was told that my baby would likely not make it to full term and if she did I would need a c section and she would either be still birth or last a couple minutes alive. My husband and I prayed the rosary everyday. I carried my daughter to full term, I held her peacefully alive for 7 beautiful days before she was lifted up to heaven. My daughter Rosalie is the best gift God could have given me. During her time here, I felt what I would best describe a little taste of heaven. My daughter gifted me what it means to Love. God gives you grace.

I am just so tired of people claiming that limiting abortion is limiting womens health care.
I am just so tired of religious whackos who lie about everything. They can't even call it a fetus. The lie and call it a child. They hate the mother so much, they disregard everything about her.
Or that abortion is health care. If the medical or insurance language was acurate and understandable then we wouldn’t have these discussions. A miscarriage is a miscarriage, an etopic pregnancy is an etopic pregnancy, and an abortion is an abortion.
@@FindfreedomInChrist-yb7ns A miscarriage is actually a spontaneous abortion.
Tell that to the 20-something women suing the state of Texas who had WANTED pregnancies that turned tragic. Ask them about how the Texas abortion ban made their lives hell because they couldn't get the treatment they needed and in some cases sent them to the brink of death.

Imagine if all medical professionals practiced with this much kindness, consistency, and compassion. Our world would be a much more wonderful place.
Not only medical professionals but ALL of us should be asking ourselves how did we get to a society where the QUESTION if killing a baby was even AN OPTION !?!?! That’s not even a question us humans have the right to deny. even in the worst situation that the left always uses “ra**” and in that situation I say the baby doesn’t need to be raised by the victim but not KILL IT !?!?! I told my ex when she started to try dispute this with me it’s the way the question it self is said up that disgust ME ! Why are kids having unprotected eggs without parents being held responsible???? Especially men as a man I say any man that abandons child they will be jailed same with woman but they get fined so many solutions I just gave that can end this once for all but no one listens. Sorry for yapping I can’t stand to think about lifeless babies
A person coming to her with a life threatening pregnancy or an unwanted pregnancy and being told by her to remain pregnant because she won’t help them, will not call this doctor kind, consistent or compassionate. Listen to the suffering and trauma that pregnant people have experienced instead of leaning on your religious ideology, and you would know.

Abortion is NEVER medically necessary as “treatment”.
You cannot love your neighbor while supporting or accepting systems that crush, exploit, and dehumanize them.
So in order for someone to prove me wrong when I say abortion is never medically necessary as treatment (using the CDC definition of abortion), they’d have to show me a situation where we have a living child inside of the woman’s uterus, where it is NECESSARY to INTENTIONALLY kill that child in the uterus, and then deliver the child dead…rather than ultimately allowing that child to have a live birth.
So keep in mind, if you have to induce pre-term delivery or induce labor early to save the life of the mother and that child comes out alive, and you’re NOT intentionally killing the child in the womb prior to the birth, then that is NOT considered an abortion.
You would have to show me an instance where it’s necessary to INTENTIONALLY kill the child in the uterus and then deliver the child in order to prove me wrong.
So I will stress it again…It has to be MEDICALLY NECESSARY, as in there is no other way. So if you could deliver the child prematurely and it’s just an unfortunate consequence that after that child is delivered alive that because it was a premature delivery the child can’t survive on its own outside the womb and it dies outside the womb after a live birth, that’s NOT considered an abortion.
You’d have to show me an example where you have to intentionally kill the child in the uterus FIRST, and THEN deliver the child dead. Rather than just delivering that child alive.
I have NOT SEEN any evidence that it is ever NECESSARY to intentionally kill a child in the uterus and then deliver them dead, rather than just deliver that child alive.
CDC definition of abortion:
For the purpose of surveillance, a legal induced abortion is defined as an intervention performed by a license clinician (e.g. a physician, nurse-midwife, nurse practitioner, physician assistant) within the limits of state regulations, that is intended to terminate a suspected or known ongoing intrauterine pregnancy and that does not result in a live birth. This definition excludes management of intrauterine fetal death, early pregnancy failure/loss, ectopic pregnancy, or retained products of conception. Most states and jurisdictions that collect abortion data report whether an abortion was performed by medication or surgery.
@@jakey3887
I have researched and found stories where women who were told that their baby would not live because of an irreversible defect. They wanted to end the pregnancy to prevent the strain on their bodies that this unviable pregnancy would put on it, like rendering them sterile, but their states new laws forbid it so they were forced to give birth and risk developing sterility and sepsis just to have a baby who won't live. How is that any better than termination of a pregnancy.

Agreed.
100%. As someone who has had an ectopic pregnancy, I’m sick of that scenario, among others, being used as a means of justifying elective abortion or being equated with it as if they are the same when they are not. I find it truly astonishing that people are so misinformed and/or in denial about what pregnancy is, what abortion is, and what ethical medical care is thay they can’t see the differences between life and death, killing and allowing for the possibility of death, etc. As a Christian I know the Bible says that the heart is wicked and people deny God’s righteousness, but I still continue to be heartbroken and astounded by the disgusting and sad nature of it all. Lord, save us! Show us Your wisdom and soften hearts toward You.
So glad to hear someone sounding normal.
Me too. We’re not alone! God help us save His little children!
I always suspected there was something “fishy” about abortion and the “pro-choice” movement. The moment I realized this was in my sophomore year of hs Health class. I found it suspicious that they would spend all this time talking about sex and reproduction and the teacher publicly came out and said abortion was a woman’s right and that she was pro-choice yet never actually bothered to discuss WHAT AN ABORTION ACTUALLY WAS! I was too young to have the next level of curiosity which is to ask in detail what it was. But that always lingered in my mind. It wasn’t until later on that I realized what it actually was. Then I realized “Oh, well there’s a reason why they don’t actually talk about abortion in specific detail and sort of vaguely tap dance around the issue and divert attention away from the actual facts and procedure and focus on the feelings of the mother.” I love this interview…it’s great perspective and many of these points will change people’s minds when I engage them on it
Yes, they always try to keep us from showing anything graphic during such debates...no pictures, no video, no descriptions...this shows, more than anything, that they know just how vile and evil this act is.
Fertility is not a disease.
Pregnancy is not an illness.
Birth is not an emergency.
Breastfeeding is not unnatural.
The medicalization of women is evil. Women should be cared and respected for their beautiful design, the ability to become mothers. It’s all connected.
A fetus is a parasite. You clearly don't know how a fetus especially a male fetus destroys her body. A woman is more likely to be a chimera than a man. Stop imposing your religious quackery onto others.
Pregnancy is an illness. Women should have paid leave for any sick day they need when pregnant and we need time off work to recover after giving birth.
Babies are little mammals and need mummy and daddy to cuddle them when they are tiny.
It is because women are not supported, empowered and compensated that they chose not to carry children.
I am fully pro choice. Even more so after being deserted by my ex and living in poverty with two special needs kids. Because in my shoes I don't think many women would last.

I’m so so tired of the argument that it’s sometimes medically necessary to abort a baby. NO! Killing the baby directly is never going to save or cure the mom. Yes, some conditions may require a delivery prior to the baby’s viability which is so heartbreaking to think about but the intention is completely different and does not involve pulling the baby apart or poisoning it.
There are also those situations where the baby never developed primary organs like their kidneys or their lungs or have a heart defect that won't allow them to even live more than a few minutes outside the womb.
There was a woman who found out that her baby never developed lungs. She would not reach develop fully and, even if she somehow made it to delivery, wouldn't survive because she would sufficate in minutes. She met all her state requirements for an emergency termination but the state still ruled against her. She had to fly to New York to get the pregnancy terminated. Once she got to New York, the doctors said that her baby had died and that she needed to have it removed to avoid going septic.
@@freedomwriter1995 so you deliver the baby early. You don’t inject it with poison or rip it apart in utero. There are still ways to be compassionate and humane even if the baby isn’t going to survive delivery
@@carriebradon2807 some states have laws where if two doctors agree that the baby won't survive or the mothers life is at risk then the pregnancy can be terminated. However, they're too afraid to even say that because of the consequences they face due to the anti abortion laws. They think that, even if the two of them agree, some prolife doctor will find some rediculous excuse to say that the pregnancy is viable (when it isn't) just because he doesn't want any pregnancy to be terminated ever. Those doctors end up in jail, they lose their licenses, and the woman faces the agony and medical complications and even death of an unviable pregnancy.
@@freedomwriter1995 if a woman would fly to another state to have an abortion, she could also fly to another state to receive compassionate medical care in these rare yet heartbreaking situations where her baby isn’t going to survive long after delivery.
You wouldn’t directly inject poison in your child or cut their body apart because their organs were failing. You’d take them to the best hospital and find specialists who would do everything that they can to help save your child or make them comfortable if there was nothing that could be done. Babies in the womb ARE children and they deserve the same dignity and compassion as children who have been born already. We need to as a culture stop treating them like parasites and only humanizing them after they’re born.
I met Dr and her husband at catholic family camp. She held my baby Danny and I asked her to feel his skull for me as a “second opinion”. Didn’t know she was a pro-life speaker. I was a complete stranger and she and her husband were so nice to me.
i pray more actual doctors come forward to defend this logically obvious position. May the triune God bless you Monique!
the lack of courage with our healthcare system is one thing..the lack of care to think about things to have the courage, even more rare. The same ones who don't want think about abortion are the same ones continuing to give covaids shots
Abortion is the most horrible torture you can do to a human being
Affection for children among women has gone down since 1970, and men became scapegoat in-between the crossfire of women's rights on the left and women's rights on the right.
Even my little toddlers are more affectionate toward babies than most adults today. Today’s adults are *unnaturally unaffectionate toward babies.
Exactly
I worked in Labor & Delivery for over 12 years. I’ve had to work with medically necessary preterm deliveries. Never once where they called abortions.
My head spins every time I hear this propaganda!
Keep saving babies and mothers!
and fathers and the family and humanity!
What about those women whose pregnancy complications will cause her to become sterile and the baby will not live more than a few minutes once born due to never developing lungs.
@@freedomwriter1995c section can make someone infertile so should we stop doing them?
@@freedomwriter1995 we pray for them, provide medical care, and encourage them on their journey, but we don't dismantle them.
@@refuse2bdcvd324
What about ensuring the mother doesn't end up sterile?
When i was 20 weeks pregnant they saw 2 cysts on my babys brain and suggested it could mean she had a rare horrible disease. She was born conpletely healthy. She is in preschool now.
Please do the educational session! This is a wonderful conversation that has blessed me immensely! Thank you both for your work 💕 You’re saving and changing lives!
Listening to this brought tears to my eyes, and hope in my heart! God Bless both Lila Rose, and Dr. Monique. ❤
Please have Dr. Ruberu back! I’d love a whole discussion dedicated to menstruation and hormonal health, especially as it relates to fertility. This is not talked about enough!
Thank God for every pro-life professional!!!
My black doctor advised me to do an amniocentesis because my triple screen for downs came back positive. I was pregnant with twins. Although I was not happy with my pregnancy due to marital problems I was not ready to do an abortion as she advised
Finally I got tired of her bashing me every time I saw her. I got so pissed off and told her whatever God wants me to have thats what I'm having. I had 2 healthy boys who are now 25 years old. My marriage fell apart 2 months after they were born. I took care of my 3 boys all by myself. Divorce my no good husband. Finished school with a degree in accounting and ended my education as a RN Bsn Cpn. God in his mercies saw me through every day and im grateful for all the mercies he had shown me. Today I serve a risen savior and looking forward to 31 years at my current job and retirement in the near future.
Respect.

and it does backfire because the survivors (mom and dad) have a lot of understandable emotional and physical issues after this choice :(
another population as "pro lifers" we need to pray for, fast over and remember/consider.
Bingo.
So women should not have a choice for rape? Little girls for rape or incest? Or if the mother's life is in jeopardy?
@@Jennifer-gr7hnNot everyone has emotional issues afterwards.
I’ve been waiting for this!!🥹 Thank you Jesus for Dr. Monique
She's holding the Rosary and wearing the miraculous medal of Mother Mary 😊❤ I love it!
Beautiful. As a man, I must say that these two women give me hope for our world today and in the future. Thank you, God bless.
Where is the hope that men who impregnate women are made responsible for those offspring? Men walk away scottfree. What do you care?? You don't have to do crap the rest of your life. When men are made responsible for their part in ejaculating sperm into a woman then come talk to women. Get off your pompous ass and protest men walking away.
The fact that medical professionals are voicing a different opinion than what I've always heard, means the decision shouldn't be in the hands of politicians.
I'm glad to see so many professionals finally talking about diet as a massive factor in health
What a beautiful, lovely doctor. We need more like her OBGYN like her that really understand and treat women’s body’s. I love her story and that she is so close to God. (Plus, her blue dress is absolutely gorgeous!) ❤
I thought I knew nearly everything there is to know about my body, but lo and behold you tell me more! I feel so educated. This is invaluable information!
One minute into this I was bowling 😭😭😭 God bless for what you do and God bless America! Let the TRUTH set the people free!!! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Thank you, Doctor. A TRUE Doctor.
Alan Guttmacher, president of Planned Parenthood and an ob/gyn stated,"Today it is possible for almost any patient to be brought through pregnancy alive unless she suffers from a fatal disease such as cancer or leukemia and if so abortion would be unlikely to prolong, much less save, life".
"Abortion - Yesterday, today and tomorrow:The case for legalized abortion now" Berkley, Calif, Diablo Press, 1967
Is Dr. Ruberu wearing a Miraculous Medal?
Yes, she is a devout Catholic.
"Pray for us who have recourse to thee." BVM.
love this!!!! especially when she says it’s a spiritual battle at the clinics.
Hardly ever not never. There are some women who are told they shouldn’t carry out a birth due to the high chances of death to the mother the further it went. I know someone personally who was told that and she ended up losing her life and the child did not survive. I’ve seen other stories of the same thing. Seemingly, it happens more to black women than any other group and it we need to have more of a focus on our healthcare. So to say it’s never necessary, I don’t agree. Maybe it was her doctor or the hospital idk, but a deeper focus needs to be put towards as to why this is the case.
Something that I have considered, each time we lose a family member in death from a disease that has hunted humanity for years, then you ask God why? The answer is for years Jehovah God has sent children here through women’s wombs, these children each one of them had gifts in them. Here is my question, how many times through abortion have women been induced to kill their children? How many of these children have come with gifts to save us from these diseases and been put to death by an abortion?
I'm so thankful to God that Dr. Monique Ruberu wanted to give back to God, Such beautiful ladies with humble hearts. Thank you so much for this video. It was very informative. I knew a married couple who was told that their baby was going to be Down Syndrome and they advised them to terminate the pregnancy. They refused. That baby is a grown man and not Down Syndrome. I just wanted to let you know that their doctor was wrong.
Amen! Life is life! A precious gift from God. I pray the mama or daddy who needs to hear this finds this video!
Thank you so much for this video! It will be added to my playlist, so that when I eventually start my young women’s after school program, this will be on their curriculum
Don't have sex, male condoms, female condoms, plan B, birth control, IUD. So many ways to prevent pregnancy yet we keep talking about abortions
When I was 5 (1980) a couple who were family friends parents were pregnant with her third. They were Catholic. The doctors warned them if she went ahead with it she was more than likely to have a stroke from blotclotts and be incapacitated. They were very devout and trusted G-d with it and had the baby. Everthing the doctors warned happened. She was severly mentally and physically damaged, never knew her baby, and left 3 under 3 without a mom. She had palliative care for 15 yrs and died. So saying it doesnt happen is just not true. It was medically necessary for her but she chose the baby. And that was her choice.
I resisted G-d til I was 22 bc all I remembered was He "didn't come through" for that faithful couple. I never had my own children either bc I subconciously never forgot. I am pro life but to me I've kept it at theoretical. I let others "fight" this issue.
I am thinking you meant 15 days rather than 15 years.
I am curious about the type of care she received. I wonder if her doctors worked with her to keep her healthy and increase her odds or if they wrote her off because she rejected abortion.
@@debblouinWhy would you assume I didnt know what I meant? I wrote it. 15 YEARS A "VEGETABLE"
@@debblouinit was in Canada. It wasn-t like "your" "psycho system" or ideologies. This doctor is a kook. I-m just seeing more now lol. No PMS and pain? No wonder people think we're nuts Just Wow.
I had to make a similar decision and I chose to save my life and be there for my son to watch him grow up. I appreciate your comment, I am pro life as well but I unfortunately was put into a position no one wants to make that kind of awful decision.
@@debblouin What does that matter. They are not giving good care to pregnant women now!😢
Thank you Dr. Ruberu and Lila.
Are you sure about that?
What about preterm premature rupture of membranes. This can literally lead to a fatal sepsis infection or dangerous hemorrhaging for the mother
Sounds like they would induce labor early vs killing the baby beforehand.
PROM requires delivery of the baby regardless due to the waters, ya know, having broken. That doesn't mean you cause it immense agony via saline drowning or cutting it apart in the womb. Preemie care has now made it so the baby can survive as early as 21 weeks, and before then, it's a horrible, sad situation, but at least let the baby pass loved and held, not ripped apart.
42:23 She literally addressed this condition in the discussion.
This was addressed in the video
@MrsSoriano5-ps9ch what is the quality of life for most of the babies born at 21 weeks? I have wondered if it's children's best interest for them to have medical interventions that artificially keep them alive. Should medical professionals be playing God? Does it really help the child or just prevent parents from having to grieve for a while longer?
Thank you for this interview with such a wonderful human being and doctor.
Love these two ladies!!
MY LIFE IS A TESTIMONY.....Doctors told my mom to get rid of me because she was sickly...We BOTH still here! PRAISE YAHUAH!!
Oh my goodness so excited about this conversation
Best interview I've ever watched! Thank you!!
this was an INCREDIBLE interview and brief insight of womens health and PRO LIFE!!! incredible and i love the expertise from the host and the information
Saw her this morning in Philly at the abortion facility trying to counsel women out of killing their children, offering them assistance. We need more people on the front lines of these facilities trying to ignite the conscience of these women. When the pro abort protesters are there it’s an extra deterrent for people going to the facilities to kill their babies, because they act so irreverently, playing music and dancing as these women, up to 6 months pregnant, mostly all black, walk into the clinic. Please if you haven’t come out to see it, wherever you stand. It will give new perspective
Curious. The prolife center that I am affiliated with has tried to focus on assisting black mothers. The "success" rate is very low. The government has systemically destroyed their families and culture.
I'm pregnant with my fourth child and can't imagine how any mom could opt for an abortion, especially as a means of birth control. I stopped taking birth control because it was just throwing my cycle off and I already had high estrogen levels.
It's beautiful to see that there are people in the medical profession that are pro life.
Please do another session on womens fertility!!!!!
There would be twice the population of Blacks if Roe was not ever law. Brown/ black/ white/ oriental/ native people all matter always, every day.
I ❤️ this Doctor 👩⚕️!!!
God bless this dear woman! The spiritual warfare is real. Thank you for practicing your faith with your medicine!
I wish med students were given training from someone like her!
She's pro life because she's religious not because she cares about women's health.
@@mivasadl644caring for women while pregnant no matter condition is caring for women lmfao you can't get anymore caring then that. I get you don't know what that means.
When I was 18 and pregnant with an unplanned pregnancy, I drove by an abortion protest in front of an abortion clinic. I pulled over and stood alongside of them. They gave me a sign to hold…I watched this one woman scurrying in with her partner’s arm around her, and she was shielding her face in shame and embarrassment. It’s a visual I will never forget. I don’t know what she decided to do.
Before I got pregnant, I was vehemently pro-“choice”….I remember feeling legitimately fearful at the prospect of Bush Sr becoming president, because I thought he would take away my right to have an abortion…I was sexually active and I felt genuine fear if Clinton wasn’t elected, that I might not be able to have an abortion if I needed…
But when I became pregnant my senior year (even though I was on birth control!), I somehow just intuitively knew that I couldn’t have an abortion. My best friend had had one and I remember trying to tell her not to do it…I didn’t know why, just something was making me root for life.
But she was terrified her father would kick her out of the house.
I was an atheist. But when I began to feel my baby moving inside me, I was struck by the miracle of life. I began to research abortion…looking up abortion pictures and even found a book in my school library about abortion…which thankfully was showing the truth of it….stories and pictures of aborted babies who survived but stuffed in white bins to die by suffocation…cold and alone…
I went to the Catholic Church because they were the only ones I knew who were staunchly pro-life.
So much more I could say…but my friend-when her dad found out about me, he told her “I don’t know why her parents aren’t being more supportive-if this happened to you or your sister, I would do everything I could to support you.”
This culture that promotes promiscuity among girls too young to know how to face the realistic outcome of s*x is a big part of the problem. At that age, we are very prone to believing everything we hear…and fearing parents, our future, etc…
My child is a man now. He is an amazing person, very successful, and I’m so thankful that God gave me that instinct and wisdom to choose life!!
What about an ectopic pregnancy? I am pro-life, but had an ectopic pregnancy lost my baby and the tube through no fault of my own. I ended up losing 5 babies throughout the years. It breaks my heart that my medical record says 1 abortion. Although that’s was nothing I had chosen. But it was medically necessary!!! JS
You are correct, unfortunately ectopic pregnancies can be fatal for the mother if not immediately taken care of. I’m sorry for what you’ve gone through, that’s not easy.
An ectopic pregnancy is not a viable pregnancy from conception. So, I wouldn't even count that as an abortion. An abortion is purposefully ending a perfectly viable pregnancy, which an ectopic pregnancy is not.
An ectopic pregnancy isn't a viable pregnancy from conception. That isn't an abortion, which is the termination of a viable pregnancy.
@@googiesable You’re creating definitions for things that doctors don’t use. An abortion in medical terminology is any termination of a pregnancy. A “miscarriage” is called a spontaneous abortion. An unintended medically necessary abortion like for an ectopic pregnancy where the mother wished she could keep the child, is still called an abortion. This matters because there are some politicians who want to retroactively criminalize all abortions. Which means if you have a notation of abortion in your medical record you and / or your doctor could be harassed in court for further details. Women who have had ectopic pregnancies all have “abortion” in their medical record. You wanting to use political rhetoric to say your definition of abortion is only voluntary unnecessary procedures, doesn’t change how the word is used by doctors.
@@googiesable For the record, I’m in favor of restrictions on unnecessary voluntary abortions, for the sake of preserving innocent life. What I’m not in favor of, is lying and endangering women to push a certain rhetorical narrative that isn’t true.
THANK YOU!..for this amazing testimony of medical facts about women's physiology and health. THIS doctor cleared up a lot. THIS Doctor should be heard ...across the country. Sadly, the pro-abortion people will stop it immediately.
Hope many people watch this ❤❤
Still pro choice hon that religious doctor didn't change squat.

Estrogen dominance is also very common in patients with MTHFR double copy, as it's hard to detox that. Also mold toxicity, candida, fungal, B12 deficiencies (which are not accurate on blood work since things like SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth which has many causes) which can look sufficient on Labcorp labs, but that's in the blood and being redistributed vs absorbed. Soooooo many things to look at to help a patient and functional medicine is the way. It's expensive but worth it. When we look at the crap we buy, 'smart' tech, eating out, travel, etc.....most of us can afford this. Priorities
Don't forget heavy metal toxicity -- this may be a big one esp. with all the nnEMF we are now exposed to.
34:28 - I like these terms. I had a miscarriage but my paperwork said "Abortion". I H-Worded (meaning very dislike but YT deletes comments using that word) that they used that word.
I suspect the paperwork said spontaneous abortion.
God bless you Dr. Ruberu!
I'm so glad to hear this spoken of - I've never been able to back up my claim that "life of the mother" is a bogus excuse, other than knowing that our bodies were created to carry and give birth to babies, and just my God-given conviction that we can't be doing this, it's so backwards. And to some people, those aren't enough apparently.
Our politicians need to be educated about this.
No politicians especially the democrats should stay away from women's issues altogether
They have no respect for women at all
How can people hear these kind of stories and not believe that God is real and He is alive.
Because you can't make people feel the way you want .

Excellent interview! Please have Dr. Ruberu come back for more! ❤
Amen!
I had a miscarriage in May 1980 with a DNC at the age of 24. As I was waking from the anesthesia a person was speaking with my husband about the abortion. I told her in no uncertain terms that I had a miscarriage not an abortion. She replied it was a spontaneous abortion and that is the same as a miscarriage. I was livid since I am a cradle Catholic and do not believe in abortion and did not want it labeled as one spontaneous or not! To this day I am upset by this.
It's incredible how corrupt how the medical system is in America
You are correct. Miscarriage is not abortion in any sense that is relevant to the abortion debate. Miscarriage is obviously not the intentional killing of a child, regardless of the label "spontaneous abortion." So sorry for your loss. Miscarriage is a tragedy.
What an honorable woman❤
I am a Christian, & I am pro life except when both mother & child will die.
My married best friends (both also Christian) had an ectopic pregnancy. The more the baby grew, the more mom's life was in danger.
They were in Anchorage, with joy, for their 6 week scan. When they were given the terrible news, they were told they had to immediately terminate the baby. They lived 6 hours from a level 1 hospital. They had to stay in Anchorage & within minutes of a hospital because of the chance of her bleeding to death when the baby released from her fallopian tubes.
They were both stuck there, with him missing work by her side, for weeks As it was, she almost bled to death.
They took 24 hours to pray & seek guidance from our church & pastor before making this huge decision.
The gynecologist saw her in the office before opening hours & prayed with her. He also was a believer.
Could this be the one instance of medical necessity?
Dr. Is such a beautiful woman. She glows
Wow‼️ I feel the same way. Thank you sooo much for this. I am in tears
Not a fan of dishonesty. People are saying “nobody is talking about ectopic pregnancy. Thats different.” The lady made the statement “an abortion is never medically necessary” and she gave no stipulations or caveats for ectopic pregnancies. She’s a trained ob…I doubt that mentioning ectopic pregnancies was unintentional.
An ectopic pregnancy isn't a viable pregnancy from conception. That isn't an abortion, which is the termination of a viable pregnancy.
No an abortion is ending a pregnancy. Any pregnancy. If a pregnancy is ended, it is cut short, i.e., aborted.
No. Ectopic IS different. The baby cannot develop, never develops beyond a certain stage. No heartbeat. It is entirely different
No, an ectopic pregnancy is not a viable pregnancy. Ending an ectopic pregnancy is not an abortion.@@sarahcover7248
Treatment is the same though. Non-viable pregnancies and miscarriages are treated the same way as abortions.
Thank you, Live Action, for also posting videos on R.
What about an ectopic pregnancy where the baby implants wrong? I'm extremely pro life, but it does seem medically necessary then. It would 100% kill the mother wouldn't it? There are probably other conditions. I'm all for surgeries that could correct this instead of ending the pregnancy, but is that even possible? I do 100% agree that, if it's possible at all to save both, do so. Abortion isn't necessary after the baby is is enough to stand even a small chance outside of the womb. But what about before then?
An ectopic pregnancy isn't a viable pregnancy from conception. That isn't an abortion, which is the termination of a viable pregnancy.
@googiesable No its not. Abortion is the termination of any pregnancy. If this definition you made up and are spaming all over the comments were true, then there would be no Abortion debate in the first place.
Ectopic pregnancy termination =abortion
The baby died and the woman's body isn't going into labor to eject the dead fetus that will rot inside of her, so she needs to have it manually removed = abortion
Spontaneous miscarriage that leaves fetal remains behind which need to be removed via a D&C =abortion.
Changing the definition of abortion doesn't change the reality of circumstances that make it necessary and does nothing to alleviate the truth that sometimes it is necessary to end a pregnancy.
Yes, and she takes time to explain this in the second half of the video. It's in how it's defined. Non-viable pregnancies are distinctly different by definition from "elective abortions," and in the case where a baby can be delivered early to save the mother's life, this is better than an "abortion," EVEN if the baby doesn't survive in the long term. "Abortion" is an unnatural and traumatic procedure.
@@hannahlevy6074 I thought I watched the whole video, but maybe I got distracted and didn't see this part. Completely agreed that it's different than elective abortions. Just didn't know what she said about it until now. Thanks :) I love how she fights, literally fights back, against their rabid narrative and desperation to be allowed to kill unborn children.
Just crying my eyes out. Thank you Lord.
trying to save both lives is great but how does that account for the kids who grew up without a mother?
How would abortion solve that? Most pregnancy complications happen after 20 weeks, which is basically the time of possible viability out of the uterus; the logical and safest solution would be delivery, not abortion.
I don’t think this commenter actually watched the interview…
Love her so much! Wonderful discussion and learned a lot! Thank you for having her 💜
Just wanted to correct: Trisomy 21 is Downs, not 18
It just hit me. We need a lot of practical mental health care available and for free for these women.
We need it available at the very moment they come for any kind of help and something they need to make an appointment for.
Of course they need that follow up counseling too. But when a woman or girl shows up scared and many times in shock, we need someone that can really help draw out their fears and their desires and work with them to help the mother understand how either decision will change her. Both decisions DO change a girl/woman no matter her choice.
I myself made a terrible decision when I was 24. It was both out of fear and I was ain shock over it. That tragic decision changed me!
Abortion is not medically necessary, if the mother wont die of pregnancy or delivery. There are certain diseases in which abortion is necessary to save the mother’s life, such as advanced heart failure in pregnancy. Otherwise, i am pro-life and against abortion too.
She offers the solution of a medically necessary early delivery in lieu of abortion. Destroying the baby in the womb is a terrible way for the baby to die. It's worth watching the second half of the video.
I'm only 20min in, but this is pure gold. I love this Dr ! Thank you!
Great interview. I did napro technology and had 3 healthy babies ❤️ recommended it to a friend who could not afford ivf and she also had a healthy baby, recommended it to another friend and she is in the process of charting 🙌 praise God! One ovary, ovarian cyst, endometriosis, PCOS, all treatable with napro technology, charting, and changing your diet ❤
Amazing testimony! Thanks Lila for ALL your awesome videos!
We need more videos with Dr. Monique Ruberu, about women’s health overall. I’m a med student and I just realized that I’ve been misinformed about how the female reproductive system functions.
