...to save a mother's life? You still buy that argument? Most of the time a baby can be saved, by a C Section, NOT abortion... and I know I will probably lose some that even anti abortionst's on this one.... a baby that is conceived even by rape or incest, can be adopted out. Why should they be killed?
Pollywog—I’m speaking from experience. My aunt went into labor on Christmas Eve, 1962. Something went wrong. They could have saved her life at the cost of her baby. She chose to die rather than allow her baby to die.
Not every woman should have to do the same. If there’s any risk at all that a mother might die because of bearing a child, then she ought not be forced to bear it.
In cases like this I would leave the decision up to a woman and her doctor, and those who can’t afford needed treatment should get it at no cost.
...and regarding rape or incest, I maintain that a girl or woman in either circumstance has the right to refuse to carry that potential child to term.
