Episode 046: Dr. V’s Thoughts on Abortion - a podcast by Dr. V

How do we support and advocate for women in their pregnancy process? In this episode of Office Visits with Dr. V, Dr. V dives into the sensitive topic of abortion and women’s rights. She shares her views on why doctors should not take away the choice from their patients but rather partner with them and let them make their own decisions based on the information they have.

 

Dr. V explores the complex issues of termination of pregnancy, such as viability and medical conditions that can lead to it, and covers topics like genetic disorders, a medication used to terminate a pregnancy, emotional consequences of making these decisions, access to safe medical procedures such as dilation and curettage (D&C), and more.

Tweetable Quotes

 

“We always choose mom first. If it comes down to the life of the mother versus the life of that unborn child, we always pick mom... So, there are times in medicine where we have to choose, we have to make a choice, and we choose mom every time.” - Dr. V

“I always keep in mind that when someone gets a positive pregnancy test, from the very minute that they see that positive pregnancy test, especially if it's a wanted pregnancy, they have hopes and dreams for this child.” - Dr. V
