Dr. Bill O'Reilly, OB-GYN

OK, I vomited a little in my mouth just writing that headline. Same reason for no funny graphic -- some things are too sick for even me to contemplate.

The story from Media Matters:
O'Reilly falsely claimed that a pregnant woman's life could "never" be "in danger" from pregnancy complication

Summary: On his radio show, Bill O'Reilly falsely claimed that it "is never the case" that a "mother's life is in danger" during pregnancy because "you can always have a C-section and do those kinds of things." In fact, several potential pregnancy complications, such as an ectopic pregnancy, which is "the leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths in the first trimester" or preeclampsia, which "affect[s] up to one in seven pregnant women" can threaten the life of a pregnant woman.
You can view the video of Doctor O'Lielly at Media Matters (if you have the stomach for it).

  1. What's REALLY sick is that now all the freaks that watch it will be spouting this crap verbatim as gospel.
