Is it me or is it sad that this episode came out like 20 years ago and is still relevant. The worst part is that the topic of abortion has gotten worse in terms of being a pressing volatile topic.
Technically you’re also pro-choice then. Being pro choice doesn’t always mean thinking abortion is ok and supporting it, just that you acknowledge that’s not your decision to make for someone else. It’s their own choice
The writers used the wrong diagnosis for the baby, it wasn't Ehler's Danlos Syndrome (EDS). I have EDS, and while there are different types that have things in common as well as affect different systems, the skin tearing isn't one of the issues. If it affects the skin, it makes it stretch more than it normally should, but not tear.
at 3:37 he says Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome causes extreme tearing of the skin- I think the writers meant Epidermolysis Bullosa, sometimes called butterfly skin disease! EDS shouldn't cause skin issues of that severity :P
yeah one of my friends from high school has EDS and she has issues with her joints and had broken her back several times from falls that would just give us bruises but nothing about the tearing of the skin. i am pro choice and even i was a little shocked she was going to abort just over EDS as it sucks to have, but you can live a full and normal life. you are correct. thats EB.
@@cheylikespiePeople are so quick to say “I can’t believe that they’d choose to abort” but aren’t as quick to open their wallets and give up their time to help raise the kid.
I mean, EDS can make your skin more delicate if you have certain kinds, but they’re definitely talking about ED. Most babies die in a lot of suffering from dehydration or infection
Its an interesting episode but i don't think third trimester abortions were a thing at the time this episode was written. Is it just exaggerated for the plot? Pretty sure under Roe that kind of procedure would not have been possible.
there are complications during the third trimester, abortion at that point are sometimes needed. specializing in that field is far from weird, they are simply helping people
I personally don't want to touch the topic of abortion with a 40 foot steel pole, but that 3rd trimester abortion I'm not comfortable with it's not a cell anymore it's a baby.
@@GuitarHeroRocks99that birth defect or genetic abnormality could’ve caused the baby great suffering and pain, and possibly even death. It’s not worth having the baby live if its’ whole life was going to be agony.
you did touch, you stroked the subject of abortion, with your own fingers on your keyboard/ phone screen...You didn't need to post this, but you felt it important enough to say you didn't want to post this.
@@uncannyvalley1457if you ask a lot of current people who are alive they will say their life is agony. You think that just because someone is in pain (most people are in one way shape or form) that their life has no value or meaning?!
Abortion is a very sensitive topic for both sides of the coin. On one hand, you have someone who believes the second the egg is inseminated, that's life; no matter what happens, that's a child, living, and with a soul. On the other hand, others believe it isn't a child until birth, or at least 2 or so weeks til delivery. Even then, there are others that say if it's born with a terrible disease or is born and not wanted with the parents nott able to provide with low chances of adoption to "abort" the birth (which is waaaaay radical at this point). My belief is that God gives us children. He is the one that ultimately decides who gets born when and how. When we take advantage of the gift of children (either by being stupid and not wearing protection or having early intimacy without the knowledge of the responsibilities/consequences ) and then say, "no, we don't want this" and then kill it to never live a life that it could have lived, regardless of it's condition...it just sounds off. However, I can't make a decision for you. It's between you, the father/mother, and God.
No, there’s no limit in CO, and there’s at least one provider there who specializes in third-trimester abortions because they are so rare and difficult to access. There’s only like 4 doctors in the entire US who do it

I'm pro-life but I'm not the type to force my beliefs on the pro-choice people. It only breeds disaster.
what do you mean youre pro-life then? what does that belief entail in your opinion?
@@adamlouis3725 I'm against abortion.
@@irawilliams343 I’m pro-choice but nice to know you don’t force your beliefs cause I don’t like forcing mine on anyone else

@@irawilliams343 no one is support of abortions. no one enjoys people getting abortions. what do you mean youre against abortions?

The Son is Dude Dad, Taylor!!! I knew he looked familiar, he looks the same. Wow 🤯😮❤
omg that made me feel old ;O
At 6:50 the male actor is John Boy from The Walton!!
Goodnight John Boy
He’s also the original Bill from “It”
Oh man. I didn't even recognize him. It's been so long.
I’m sickened to see there isn’t one single true Christian in this episode. What a horrible representation of that viewpoint.

3rd trimester is wild. Weird thing to want to specialise in.

Hold up is that Sharon Goodwin from Chicago med?
Here’s this episode again on another channel!

Sometimes certain genetic abnormalities or birth defects can't be detected until the third trimester.
@@MsLovestory01 what does that have to do with abortion? You're saying you'd kill an unborn baby that late just because of a birth defect?

Even with Roe, the cutoff line would have been 24 weeks. I don't think it would have even been legal at 28 weeks.
