Exactly. Medical doctors have to make hard decisions, even horrible ones. If there is a Siamese twin and they have to be separated, one of them is going to die or they both will die if nothing is done. Not all pregnancies are text book.

It is my understanding that abortion, namely the purposeful taking of an innocent human life, is *never* justifiable or medically necessary. There are difficult situations where innocent human life cannot be adequately treated and sustained, but that is entirely different than reaching in to terminate life.
