No. If the pregnancy is killing the mother, then she can choose to either terminate the pregnancy or give up her life to allow her child a chance to live. A friend of ours with breast cancer is taking that chance right now. Delaying her chemo and radiation therapy to a point where he child will survive, but she might not.

No one, not even the Catholic Church, opposes medical intervention to save a mother's life at the risk of the life of the unborn child. I respect your friend's decision, but your hypothetical is irrelevant.

FWIW, I think you may have misunderstood me. Right to life is my #1 political issue. I would vote for an honest pro-life democrat (if such a thing existed) over a pro-choice republican.

Thank you. Sincerely. Every baby has a soul.
