i have never heard of a woman taking a ambulance to get an abortion. they usuall just take a car and set up an appointment. that’s crazy!

first off, we are called emt’s, not ambulance drivers. but i have had a woman have her bf beat her up to cause an emergency in which an abortion was required.

Like Jon said, I suspect it’s a case of a women who has an ectopic and is need of lifesaving care. I actually had a friend who this happened too and she was taken to the ER via ambulance. While I’m pro-life, I can also see and support the need for an ambulance if a women undergoes an abortion and suffers life-threatening complications after the procedure. Now, if I were a dispatcher and had some women call for an ambulance b/c she wanted a ride to the hospital for an abortion, I’d likely tell her to call a cab or better yet, walk.

I’ve never heard of it, and in emergency situations where both the mother an fetus will die unless the fetus is removed (i.e. ectopic pregancy) no one, no matter how pro-life, would refuse to do that. I suspect this is just the journalist at the Daily Worker- um, I mean, Washington Post, trying to be dramatic by extending the logic to a hypothetical that doesn’t exist.
