- "In the manner specified by a suicidal patient" wasn't in the original
- question either. The question was:
- Why don't you stop waffling, and just give us a situation
- (hypothetical or not) where ending a pregnancy is more
- dangerous to the woman than continuing it?
-
- You've given no reason to believe that ending the pregnancy in the situation
- you specified would be more dangerous than continuing. Certainly ending it
- *in the manner* you specified would be more dangerous, but that was not part
- of the question. It seems you've failed to meet the challenge.
