you take the mind of a newly pregnant woman and you can see that she views this fetus as a threat to her life - whether its a physical or other. its a serious roadblock. when it comes time, she's gonna have to make a choice on whether she is going to let it ruin her life or have it aborted and move on. why do you feel that others should make that choice for her?

Well, you know I'm a fairly religious person and you do not share my views. I do not hold anything against you with that and I'm more than sure you don't hold it against me either. That's been established before.
I just don't understand how you can say, "she is going to let IT RUIN her life or have IT aborted and move on." I believe a child is something very sacred to me in my eyes, whether it was intended to be born or not. It isn't something that is as simple as making a decision to get your value meal Supersized or not. Eveything has a plan in life (another thing you probably disagree with me on that really doesn't have any gray area).
When it comes to mothers' health, well I think the family should decide what they want to do. In other words, abortions would be legal and "ok". Some families/mothers, as crazy as it sounds, would love to see their child grow up and lead a life. It's a sacrifice in their eyes. Let them do what they feel is right. The MOTHER knowingly can make a decision. The baby/fetus has no say in anything.
