hey monica,
how do you feel about abortion in a situation where there is a strong possibility that there may be difficulties in the birth and the mother can die? do you think the child is more important than the mother? the mother who has other children to worry about? what about the father who may now be a single parent to 1, 2, 3 etc children? i've lived through that. my pseudo-big sister almost died during complications while giving birth to her third child and i can never forget that. i don't know where i would be today without her. and if she knew that there would be complications and had chosen abortion, i wouldn't love her any less. but that's an option she should have available to her.
and what about in cases of rape or incest? as i said to my mom, if, g-d forbid, i was ever raped and got pregnant as a result i, personally, couldn't carry the child to term. it would be a child made from hate not love.
for me, my whole decision is that a woman should have the right to choose what she wants to do with her body. i don't want the government telling me what i can and can't do in that sense.
