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!'
