If women really felt this way why do so many women support abortion.

Because there is no nobility any more. At one time people didn't mind sacrificing themselves for nobler causes. People were willing to carry the flag into battle knowing they would be the first to be shot, or honor and duty was part of self respect. Everything was viewed as being in God's hands and whatever would happen would happen. Doris Day's song-Que Sera, Sera, What will be will be. I remember watching John Adams and I noticed in the movie how people would always talk about leaving things to "providence". What God wanted was what people accepted. People no longer look upon the providence of God. They want to be in control of their outcomes.

So many women support abortion because we've lost the sense of honor-of duty. We are interested in our own selves.

Would you support a law that abortion is not allowed under any circumstance?

I would support a law that abortion is allowed ONLY in the case where the baby could not be saved and without aborting the baby the mother's life would be endangered.

To me abortion is the termination of a live human being after conception and before birth. If the baby is already dead in the womb then I would not consider removing the body to be an abortion. So, if the baby is alive, then what do you mean by "could not be saved"? There are probably some diseases or birth defects that mean that the baby would only (probably) survive a short time after birth. Keeping the rest of the premise intact, would it be acceptable to abort here?

I would still say "NO" even though the likely result is two deaths by soon after birth. (Hey, I'm an "in for a penny in for a pound" kind of guy. :) From a Biblical perspective I see no exceptions for the length or quality of a life.

I hate to agree, but I do.

I agree with you. The times it might happen would probably be incredibly rare.
