We have established that there are some circumstances - horrible, hateful and very challenging - where it is necessary. I can point to a particular illness which might jog one's memory. I will not identify the illness because there are people who are possibly suffering from it and, unlike Senator Jim Walsh, it would be offensive for me to nearly name-check them. There is an illness associated with aortic dissection where the root of the aorta is under pressure from an otherwise healthy baby in an otherwise healthy woman. These are the facts.
