This wasn't pro-life, but more a case of anti-thinking Jeordam Send a noteboard - 15/11/2012 06:28:55 PM
Those of you who know me well, know that I am pro-life. This is not a "preserve the life of the baby" type of situation. This is a preserve the life of the mother situation. She was 17 weeks along. She was not going to be able to carry anywhere near term. Let's understand this. The baby was going to die either way....either through waiting or through the abortion procedure.

Instead, the mother's life was at immediate & distinct danger. Of course, in situations such as this, the child's life would have to be sacrified to save that of the mother. This is not an example of "pro-life" decision making.

I'm not against abortion in the case of the mother's life being in jeopardy. Why have both of them die instead of just one? But just to state it, for every one of these types of instances, how many are elective procedures? You don't set rules according to the most rare of instnaces. You set rules based on the majority, and make allowances for the exceptions.
