Dr. Weary points out a troubling hypocrisy in our system: we perform medical procedures on babies in the womb and treat them as patients, yet some states, including Colorado, allow abortion up to birth—effectively treating those same preborn children as though they aren’t patients at all. He also addresses safety concerns surrounding the aborti
