Reply: Dr Eberhard Lisse: "Re: What Is A Partial Birth Abortion?" I respect your opinion, Andrew. However the moral decision of whether >abortion is, indeed, murder lies with the religious beliefs of the >persons involved. What you are saying Joanne is that morality is relative. One persons murder is another persons choice? Joanne writes: I do not want the government >making a single edict that does not allow for the differences between >various religions on this subject. (Including the atheists and >Humanists amongst us) Joanne who do you want making these decisions? What about the person that says "in my religion babies are not human until they are born. therefore we abort babies at 36 weeks"???? I thik that the real question is whether or not the unborn child has any value to its life or is it just a piece of bilogic matter which can be discarded. In a republic the government has a responsiblitly to protect the fundamental rights of those individuals who can not protect themselves from the wishes of society. I am not even so sure that it is a religious issue. Even atheists and humanists recognize that unborn babies are "alive" and would not advocate aborting them at 28-40 weeks. Just some thoughts, I am not out to change anyones opinions on this list. I appreciate the complexity of this particular topic and the strong opinions on both sides. I do enjoy the discussions. >From: islesannie@gmail.com (Joanne Bulley, MD) >Reply-To: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net >To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L <ob-gyn-l@dns.obgyn.net> >Subject: Re: What Is A Partial Birth Abortion? >Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2007 17:59:30 -0500 > >I respect your opinion, Andrew.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
