Doctor tells woman 27-weeks pregnant to have abortion on a 'toilet

Doctor tells woman 27-weeks pregnant to have abortion on a 'toilet On the eve of Texas Gov. Rick Perry's special legislative session to debate a bill to ban most abortions after 20 weeks, a disturbing new video has surfaced in which a New Mexico abortion doctor tells a patient undergoing a three-day abortion process for her 27-week-old baby to sit on a toilet if the fetus starts to come out unexpectedly while away from the clinic.In the latest investigation from the antiabortion group Live Action, which has produced five other controversial video and audio investigations at abortion clinics in their "Inhuman" campaign, the doctor recommends that the woman sit on the toilet for the stillbirth until abortion clinic aides arrive to take the fetus away. A clinic counselor told the woman not to look in the toilet, suggesting she put a towel across her legs.Dr. Carmen Landau of Albuquerque's Southwest Women's Options clinic also told the woman investigator not to call 911 if the baby unexpectedly started to come out if the patient wasn't in the abortion clinic.http://m.washingtonexaminer.com/doctor-tells-woman-27-weeks-pregnant-to-...
