Banning abortion in the ultra-rare cases where the mother’s life is legitimately in danger is a step too far, even for me. My concern is that those wanting to get rid of their child would look for a sympathetic doctor would make a false declaration in order to facilitate the pre-natal infanticide.
I’ve always heard the “mother’s life is in danger” canard. What are the types of conditions that mean aborting a baby can save a mother’s life? I’ve never gotten any details.
“Banning abortion in the ultra-rare cases where the mother’s life is legitimately in danger is a step too far, even for me.”
And there’s an example of the moral bankruptcy. Killing an innocent baby supposedly to save someone else’s life is simply murder.
They are either people or they are not.
Do we kill an innocent person because we think that, if they live, another person might die?
We do not.
“Life of the mother” is basically a lie, anyway. Our surgeon general C. Everett Koop said he knew of not one instance when that was truly the situation.
