Sorry for what you went through. Many pro-lifers do not have a problem with it in the case of the life of the mother. And yes, in those cases, it should be between the family and the doctors.
However, abortion for other reasons is not acceptable. There are women who kill their unborn children because they’re afraid it would make them look fat. It’s that kind of thinking that the pro-life side is so opposed to. I fully support banning abortion except in cases like what you went through with your first wife.
May I ask you something is a respectful way?
As a Brit - our policy as you’re aware if far more liberal.
I am pretty undecided on the matter, so perhaps you and others could educate me, because it’s an important issue and I would go no where else but FR to get the right information.
By being pro life, does this mean you are opposed to abortions at any period? Just a matter or weeks in? Is it the case in your opinion that when a women is pregnant, that that is it, the child must be born? (of course as you would make clear, depending on the obvious circumstances)
I watched a documentary on this the other day, and I was utterly horrified - they are literally aborting babies at the same period that babies are being born and have a survival rate of over 50%. That for me is criminal, and in fact murder. It showed some rather graphic footage that certainly has played on my mind.
I certainly am now of the opinion that no abortions should take place after and including week 17, but what can you tell me to convince me that I should change that position?
