Uh, are you sure? Because my entire life I've learned and been told that the baby *must* turn head first in order for it to be safe for the mother to deliver via birth canal. Feet-first = possible risk of death by hemorrage for the mom, because the female body isn't designed to deliver a child that way.
I highly doubt that an abortion, which is so often touted as "necessary for the health of the mother", would be performed in a manner that would pose an near-certain risk of killing her. That would defeat the entire point of the ghastly procedure.
Anyways, it's moot. I'll choose to believe the information provided in the published literature that covers the subject. Which is, yes, published by Pro-life groups. That niether implies that the information is factually incorrect, nor that I should disregard it on philosophical grounds because of the bias of the observers and publishers. Because: A) I share that same bias myself, and don't consider that to be a flaw, but instead a virtue, and B) because every human being is biased, innately, and cannot but be so, therefore observer bias alone is not a valid condition for throwing something out.
