    “Everyone lies” - Doctor Gregory House.

    “The patient told you that, and you believe them? You’re an idiot!” - Also Doctor Gregory House.

      Fetuses are not special. Millions die every year without anyone ever knowing they existed. They get flushed away with a late period cause the conditions weren’t quite right.

      If a woman wants to lie and pretend they are not capable, that’s her business. House is an asshole.

        If the fetus dies, that’s one thing. If the fetus gets deformed due to medication, that’s another thing and the one suffering from that is not the woman, hence it’s not only her business.

        To put it differently: If you could heal a severely disabled child by peeing in to a cup, would you not do it?
