Dr. Dawn Bingham: The big challenge to us has been that the law asks us to discern what the maternal exceptions are going to be. With fatal fetal anomaly, exceptions are going to be dependent upon our medical judgment and the problem with that is that medical judgment is not something that you can quantify or legislate. Because judgment comes from taking any particular scenario and seeing it through the lens of your experience and possible outcomes. That sounds very philosophical but what that means in practice is that my judgment at 20 years about what a maternal exception should be to save the life of the mother could be very different than another physician’s perspective or judgment about what would be necessary to save the life of the mother or child. For instance, when you use that as a qualifier for being able to give somebody a termination, first of all, it takes away the patient’s choice. It takes them completely out of the equation and eliminates how they calculate the risks and benefits of their clinical care for any given options. And that is not how you practice medicine period. We partner with our patients, we give them recommendations, we let them weigh the risk and balances of a particular scenario and give them options. This removes that completely and takes the patient out of the equation. Then if you say that it is up to medical judgment, my medical judgment about something again could be different than my partner’s medical judgment. And when you have that discrepancy or even the specter of somebody else judging what your judgment was, it can be paralyzing for people in making a decision about what would be useful for a patient.
