I’d say B was closest to my position, although I also make exception for conditions that make the baby non-viable outside the womb such as Anencephaly.

I have a friend who just had an abortion three days ago. She had an ectopic pregnancy and it would have killed her. I mean really. She found out she was pregnant in the E.R. while they were trying to find out why she was bleeding internally.

I have another friend that believes that no abortion should be legal ever (she is an avid anti-abortion protester. Organizes street protests and everything). So friend B's position would have killed friend A.

I was curious as to how others feel about the matter.

If the baby is non-viable outside the womb, that means he will soon die naturally. His death will cause grief, as any baby's would; this is painful, but not so painful as grief plus guilt, which is what ensues if you intentionally kill your child.

Some hospitals deal with this in a humane and compassionate manner by offering neonatal hospice: a unit where the very frail baby can be given care and kept comfortable, as any baby would, until his natural demise. This is comforting for both the baby and the parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, who have the precious chance to show their love and respect before the infant passes on.

Some babies die by chance. No babies should die by choice.
