Wow...interesting story...
It's a personal choice. A freedom that living in this country gives women to do. It's always a touchy issue...I have my own beliefs about the situation because I have had to deal with the effects of it. It's not fun by any means.
My theory is, if you do it just because you don't "want" the child, then you're a sick, twisted lowlife excuse for a human being who is too scared to deal with the consequence of your life choice. If you do it because there is a chance that you and the child could die, or because you got pregnant from rape, then that should be what's defined as "legal."
You can't base morality on mortality. If I was told that I could either risk having a baby and having us both die from the result...what would you think I'd do? Pray and hope for the best? If your wife or girlfriend was told that going through the full term would prove fatal to her....how would you take it?
Morallity stops at mortality. Getting on the soapbox does nothing when you haven't experienced it. I respect everyone's opinion here...y'all are right in your own regards and I will get nowhere trying to change your opinion. Know that I don't think less of anyone here. I've dealt with this situation...it's not pretty...it is a terriblw thing to have to do. It's a very hard choice. I don't see it as something that you can just arbitrarily decide to do. People that do that shouldn't be allowed to walk this planet.
That's just how I feel. Not all women "want" to have their baby's life taken away...and assuming that all Pro-Choice people want that is silly.
