Well, yes, they are, but for some people, maternal death is trivial next to the possibility of a live birth. They'd be perfectly willing to stand aside and watch a woman die, if there was any chance at all of a live birth.

If you don't believe in abortion, don't practice it.

That's a terrible argument.

I've never in my life seen such a position advocated, whether in speech or in print. Please provide some links or documentation.

What a perfectly asinine thing to write. No one has even come close to saying such a thing.

You haven't been around here long. Do I smell something? Viking kitties needed perhaps?

Sickening and bizarre comment on this site.

If you don't believe in murder, don't kill people.

If you don't believe in slavery, don't own one.

There might be reasons for the excruciating decision to end a life to save a life, but your comment is so putrid it induces vomiting in any decent human being.
