others instead of truly taking on the burdens childbirth really comes with.

Women have no need to justify themselves for getting an abortion. My wife almost died with our last child in her 5th month due to Placenta previa. I found her in a slick of blood on the floor one night. The doctor said if it had been just 10 more minutes, she would have been dead along with the baby. And this was when AIDS was first discovered and the blood supply was contaminated.

After that, she was scared to death to have another baby. We took care of that. But we already had a beautiful healthy boy and girl so who could ask for more? She always said that knowing she could have had an abortion whenever she needed made her strong enough to carry that pregnancy to term. She was a very strong woman.
