Damien is apparently unaware of the radicals involved in the debate. It
was left to the doctors judgement as to whether the mother's life was
in danger. To many radical feminazi doctors, a danger to the mother's
future earnings in having to spend time at home, caring for children,
away from a productive career, is a "danger to the mother's life" (i.e.
her lifestyle). Never is a doctors decision reviewed by a medical
ethics board or a grand jury.
