Children born of Incest

[AllyCat]

33. Why? Because I probably read more into her post than was there.

I was frustrated by the comments of nuts (some here, but mostly on FB and in person) about incest not being a legitimate reason for allowing abortion. I take care of women who are terminating pregnancies because of birth defects. I get tired of the comments from fellow nurses that they should just take what God has given them, etc. These are heart-wrenching decisions for these families. And under R/R, they would have to bring these babies to term with either fatal anomalies or spend months in the NICU and then in and out of hospitals for the rest of their lives. If a family chooses to bring these children into their families, that is great and many do. For those who cannot bear it for emotional, financial, or whatever reasons, they should be able to terminate.

I felt the overall tone of cali's post questioning the OP's statements about children she knows who came from incestuous relationships was defending what the Republicans want by outlawing abortion in cases of incest just because 9/10 of these kids are just fine. That brought on my comments about "odds" which really don't matter.
