Star of the Sea Posted January 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) A very sensitive subject. I am pro life but respect a persons right to terminate a pregnancy. Its crucial IMO a doctor sees the mother before giving the go ahead to an abortion..... there are and will be many woman who slip through the net who should not go ahead for medical and pyschological reasons.

rashore Posted January 15, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Abortion aside for a second... A doctor, or any other medical staff for that matter, should indeed see a patient before signing off on any medical procedure. I would say this no matter what the procedure is. Ok, my second is up I will say right now.. Hey folks be nice in this debate please, lets not require mod clean up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Raven Posted January 16, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Personally I think abortions shouldn't be allowed after twenty weeks (unless there is a medical reason to get one). Twenty weeks should be ample to decide. But that's just my opinion. Eitherway a doc should have to see the patient before making a decision :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awake2Chaos Posted January 16, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That's extremely reckless. A woman needs to be examined for a multitude of things before they perform an abortion procedure. And they are going to let nurses perform them? I wonder how many women will have to suffer complications before they rethink this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithisco Posted January 16, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I think the idea is that the Doctor can refer a patient to the Consulting Surgeon / Gynaecologist without seeing her first. The Consulting Surgeon / Gynaecologist will still need to meet with the Mum-to-be prior to any procedure being performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
