For those who value the life of the pre-born baby, last night's debate held some striking moments. (Photo via Facebook)

When asked about Roe v. Wade and specifically partial birth abortion, Hillary Clinton reiterated her full support for both, citing the "health of the mother" argument.
 
That's when a practicing OB/GYN decided to get the truth out on social media, posting the following on his personal Facebook page:
 
"As an ob/gyn physician for 31 years there is no medical situation that requires aborting / killing the baby in the third trimester to "save the mother's life." Just deliver the baby by c/section and the baby has 95+% survival with readily available NICU care even at 28 weeks. C/section is quicker and safer than partial birth abortion for the mother."  -Lawrence K. Koning, MD, FACOG 
 
Steve Shultz, Founder of the Elijah List and Breaking Christian News—and personal friend of Dr. Koning—weighed-in about the doctor's remarkable post, and last night's contest between the two Presidential Candidates:
 
"I was stunned watching the debates to see how readily Hillary Clinton was to show approval of partial birth abortions right up until the time of the baby's birth.  And I was thrilled to hear Donald Trump say with conviction, 'THAT'S NOT OK WITH ME!'
 
"In 1973, I graduated from Christian Academy with Larry Koning. Now he's Dr. Lawrence Koning, MD, and an OB/GYN specialist. After watching the same debate last night, he posted this quote on his personal Facebook. This morning I asked him if could share it with our readers.  He thought about it only for a moment and sent back this message, 'Do it!'
