If it meant saving your wife's life, would you have prevented or ended the pregnancy so the two of your could have raised your children together? Could you have been happy with just the three kids if it meant keeping your wife?
It is not a question of you not loving your children, but would you have changed things for the love of your wife, for her life?
You could always have adopted if you wanted more children.
Abortion is not about killing children, but caring for the life of the woman and what she needs or wants.
Children should be brought into the world when they are loved and wanted, not as an accident or violation.
It is not about denying life but choosing when to give life. When is it best for both mother and child.
We knew it was a risky pregnancy and we were both wiling to take that risk. We knew the option of abortion was there, we chose not to go that route. I have no regrets and would not have done anything differently.
We decided that being together was better than one raising our children alone. I lost one early and nearly died from our second. As much as I love my children, I would have chosen life and adoption.
Our instructions were made clear to my doctors and family.
We each did what we feel is best, not because someone forced us to. We had that choice. Why should anyone take that from other women or victims of rape?
They have the right to choose, just as you and your wife did.
Each woman has to make the decision that is best for her, not because others force her one way or the other.
When a women gets pregnant, it's no longer just "her" body. If a woman does not want to have a baby, there are solutions other than getting an abortion. But that would require taking some responsibility.
It is always her body till after birth. She should never be denied that right to control what happens to her. Even if she chooses to have a child, she is still the one in control of taking care, or not, of her body and thus the fetus. She is not a slave to others. She will only care for the fetus if she chooses to. Without her willingness there is a high risk of birth defects, and poor health of both her and the fetus as well as the risk of death during childbirth.
A woman has to want to be a mother. It should not be something she has no choice in. No victim of rape should be denied the choice of her body.
Is that right? Tell me, when a person murders a pregnant woman, why is the penalty more harsh than a simple homicide?
Why do 38 states have "fetal homicide" laws? At least 23 of those states have fetal homicide laws that apply to the earliest stages of pregnancy.
Most people that kill a pregnant woman are charged with two counts of homicide.
North Carolina Man Charged for Killing Pregnant Woman, Baby
Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for deaths pregnant woman, unborn baby
Killing pregnant woman would be double homicide under N.J. bill
Seems to me, it's her body when she wants to kill the life inside her but a totally separate body when the life is taken by someone else.
Here's a novel idea. Women that do not want to become mothers should stop engaging in activities that would make them into mothers.
>>The law does not apply to acts that cause the death of an unborn child if those acts were committed during a legal abortion to which the pregnant woman consented or a person authorized by law to act on her behalf consented, or for which such consent is implied by law.<<
If you want to quote the law, better understand it.
