I always felt like I was pro-choice for two reasons... rape and incest. But then something happened to my friend's aunt.
She became pregnant, but there were major complications. If she carried the baby to term, then she could have died during labor, the baby could have died, or both coudl have died. It was an extremely high risk pregnancy. She ended up terminating the pregnancy. She is a great person, from a good family with great morals, but it was possibly the best choice.
How do you feel about abortion in cases of life or death?
Please only respond if you're going to respond with a mature, helpful opinion. Please do not respond with "Abortion is bad no matter what". I guess this thread is more for those who are Pro-Choice.

I am basically Pro-Life, but was not when I was in college (just so you know where I stand).
In the scenario of your first paragraph, I think you would find that only the most rabid of Pro-Life groups would disagree with this abortion. I highly doubt that anyone would argue with a tubal preganancy or other high-risk, life-or-death termination.
I'm sure that good people have had abortions. I'm sure that some women never feel any guilt, and others are bereft by their loss. I personally can quickly name at least 10 people who have had multiple abortions for whatever reason.
While I became Pro-Life earlier, my personal experience has lead me to cross the line into Very Pro-Life. I have had two miscarriages, one at 10 weeks (from being beaten), the other at 16 weeks (from a mistake in medication). No one will
ever be able to convince me that what I saw each time was not a child, but a mass of tissue! I look at children who are the same age as my children would be and wonder what mine would have been like. Not a day goes by that I don't think about them.
Yet, I've had friends who've chose to abort come to me for comfort. It's a sickening choice to make, and once the deed is done, we need to be comforters, not judges.
