"The only TRULY justifiable reason for abortion is if the birth has a good chance of killing the mother."

That makes no sense. How can one argue that an unborn child should not be aborted to pay for the mistakes of the parents (whether through rape, incest, regular 'old fashioned' sex, etc) but then suggest that it might be ok to kill the child in this ONE instance? Is there anyone out there who can explain this contradiction to me?

There is a difference between killing someone to cover up a mistake and killing someone in self-defense. Do you need the difference explained to you, or do you get it now?

If the birth is likely to kill the mother, one can reasonably assume that a life will be lost either way. In this case, who is to say it has to be one over the other? Answer me that...
