She knew that she had serious health problems. When her second

appealed to her to consent to an abortion: "You have two fine,

healthy children. It would be a shame for them to grow up without

their mother. It is just too dangerous for you to consider bearing

the child you have conceived." The argument had persuasive appeal.

Should she have the abortion?


Probably not, but then again I do not know if she was raped.


The rationale being, I presume, that in the case of rape, the resulting
fetus is automatically downgraded from being a "human being" to non-human?


The rationale being that the sex was non-consensual.
Now you are acting like a rapist who likes to control women.

What difference does it make whether the sex was consensual or
non-consensual? I thought the issue that you idiots push is that the embryo
is human and that abortion somehow equals murder. Well, if that is so, what
difference does it make how the pregnancy came about?
Your poisoning the well duly noted.

This scenario likewise applies in the case of incest,

Not if the sex is consensual.

??? Let me guess, you live somewhere in the Appalachian?

serious fetus deformity

I see no reason to allow an abortion in cases where the fetus would live
even with serious deformity.
Where is the death warrant in such cases?

In the serious deformity diagnosis. Duh.

and any situation when a pro-lifer decides to terminate her own unwanted
pregnancy.

I never look at it as if the fetus inside is non-human, unless of course it
is bi-special, in which case it would be the product of two species. Even
then no abortion would be necessary.

So according to you, various blobs of cells become "human" by the virtue of
your "looking at it" in a certain way.
Who died and made you a god? Was it Jesus?
