- Firstly, It was Ms. Bartley's statement that she would have a gut reaction
- against any doctor who would not give PRIORITY to the woman that I didn't
- understand, not a doctor intervening to save a mother. In future, please
- quote me in the correct context.
-
- Secondly, it can be argued with equal validity that the *woman* is the cause
- of the imminent death of the *foetus*. So your point does not change my
- perception that the woman and child are equally important.
