There is NO ‘Health of the Mother’ Reason to Abort a Baby in 3rd Trimester

For those of you (like myself) who value the life of the pre-born baby, the last presidential debate held some striking moments.  When asked about Roe v. Wade (and specifically partial birth abortion), Hillary Clinton reiterated her full support for both – citing the “health of the mother” argument.  That’s when a practicing OB/GYN decided to get the truth out on social media, posting the following on his personal Facebook page:

“As an OB/GYN physician for 31-years there is no medical situation that requires aborting/killing the baby in the third trimester to ‘save the mother’s life.’  Just deliver the baby by c/section and the baby has 95+% survival with readily available NICU care even at 28-weeks.  C/section is quicker and safer than partial birth abortion for the mother.” – Lawrence K. Koning, MD, FACOG

Steve Shultz, Founder of the Elijah List and Breaking Christian News … and personal friend of Dr. Koning … weighed-in about the doctor’s remarkable post, and the debate between the two presidential candidates:

“I was stunned watching the debates to see how readily Hillary Clinton was to show approval of partial birth abortions right up until the time of the baby’s birth. And I was thrilled to hear Donald Trump say with conviction, ‘That’s not okay with me!’  In 1973, I graduated from Christian Academy with Larry Koning.  Now he’s Dr. Lawrence Koning, MD, and an OB/GYN specialist.  After watching the same debate, he posted this quote on his personal Facebook.  This morning I asked him if could share it with our readers.  He thought about it only for a moment and sent back this message, ‘Do it!’”

May the Lord raise up more God-fearing physicians willing to go public with their convictions!
