"Attorneys for CHI and MercyOne argue that “finding an unborn child to be a ‘person’ would lead to serious implications in other areas of the law.”
Remember people, to Catholic doctors an "unborn child" is a person only in the case of abortion.
When a Catholic hospital kills an "unborn child" by lack of proper care it's only a fetus.

Rachele was one of my Zonta Club's women of achievement this year. I was able to present her an award and talk with her for awhile. She is an amazing woman providing doula services (and breastfeeding help, a baby pantry, and more) in rural northern Michigan. This is her C-section story. It took her awhile to be able to tell it, but she finds the courage to do so here.

I have not been able to read lately. Too overwhelmed with... Everything. But I decided to pick Invisible Labor: The Untold Story of the Cesarean Section by Rachel Somerstein.
Personally, I have had two abortions, one vaginal birth, and one planned C-section (high risk pregnancy). While I never experienced trauma, I bled for more than 6 months after my C-section which I assume is far from normal though my doctor never seemed concerned.
