I don’t think we disagree.

Gianna refused treatment that might save her life but that might harm her unborn child. I do NOT and did NOT advocate all people be required to do the same. I think that it is moral for such a woman to take the treatment. I do not favor banning such treatment.

Gianna’s situation had nothing to with abortion. It did not involve directly killing anyone. It involved her refusal to receive therapy because the therapy might harm her unborn child.

Of course abortion is NEVER therapy because true therapy HEALS and never harms.

Unlike Giana’s situation, direct abortion - intentionally killing the child - supposedly to prevent the mother’s death is always evil and I do think it should be outlawed. It is intentional killing of one to save another - that is ALWAYS evil. It is evil whether you are Catholic or atheist. And the law should ban it. It is always bad public policy to allow the killing of one innocent person for the benefit of another innocent person.

Oh..I did not know St. Gianna’s story. Thank you for clarifying that.

There was an episode of the TV show “House” about this very issue. Did you see it?
