I was reminded of an emotional story that Senator Madeleine Dean told on one of the news shows. She said that her mother-in-law grew up without a mother. She had been the youngest of six when her mother became pregnant again. She was told that the baby would be stillborn and that she would not survive the birth - and that's exactly what happened. The year was 1930. And that's what those with no medical training are sentencing 21st century women to again.
