There does seem to be quite an emphasis put on the unborn more than the born in terms of their "soul". It has always puzzled me.
That would puzzle me also, because an unborn - or newborn - is truly innocent and ought to go straight to heaven.
Personally, I would be more concerned about the spiritual health of the woman who made such a hard decision.
Seems like everytime she would see a child, it would hurt her deeply. I wonder if such despair would drive her away from her faith.
