I've had six babies. A number of my friends have more. The "physical risks" of pregnancy (1) do not justify killing the baby and (2) are less significant than the risks of abortion. All this "terrible burden of pregnancy" stuff is a total exaggeration.

Well, there are the very rare cases where death of the mother is a high possibility - that might be about the only time I'd support abortion. Self-defense.

Even in those cases, abortion might do more harm than good. If a woman is already very sick or injured, a stressful surgical procedure with a high risk of infection isn't exactly smart medicine.

However, I was referring in my post to the general state of pregnancy, of which I have considerable experience, not the exceptional cases.
