Maternal-Fetal Medicine - a different specialty
Have you ever heard of a doctor who specializes in Maternal-Fetal Medicine?
The website of Pro-Life Maternal-Fetal Medicine , www.prolifemfm.org, describes Maternal-Fetal Medicine this way:
�Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) is a subspecialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology dealing with all matters that can affect the health of a mother or fetus from before conception to the postpartum period. Physicians who practice Maternal-Fetal Medicine are obstetrician/gynecologists who have received additional training, and performed research, in the care and management of pregnant women and fetuses.�
Unfortunately, not all Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialists are pro-life. It is therefore still the task of a pro-life woman to research the stance of a given doctor in order to be able to evaluate the advice she might be given.
Dr. Mary Davenport, in her article �Is Late-term Abortion Ever Necessary?� references the pro-life sub-group, the one whose website is listed, saying, �These superbly qualified physicians are eager to help women who have been advised to undergo an abortion for medical reasons or fetal birth defects.� They list one such specialist in New York State, with a practice in Buffalo.
It is worth noting, however, that there are pro-life obstetrician/gynecologists in the Rochester area who can help. If you are in need such a physician, please call the Rochester Area Right to Life office at (585) 621-4690 and we will furnish a referral.
