There are medical conditions(apart from being pregnant)that can make an abortion necessary and no law should stop a doctor from performing one. But there should be a law that makes it a crime to end a pregnancy without any medical condition apart from pregnancy.
Agreed, sort of.
Having taken a concealed carry class, which involves much discussion on the legal limits regarding taking someone's life, we were given four conditions which must be met:
1) Be a reluctant participant - do not proactively escalate the situation.
2) I must be reasonably in immediate fear of death or great bodily harm.
3) No lesser force will do.
4) Retreat is not practical. I think the same principles should apply to abortion, as in:
1) Be a reluctant participant - do not proactively escalate the situation by having consentual sex without birth control.
2) I must be reasonably in immediate fear of death or great bodily harm to the mother.
3) No lesser force (surgery, drugs, etc.) will do.
4) Retreat (keeping the baby, adoption) is not practical.
