(28,581 posts)A woman has a pregnancy where the child will be born to live a short life filled with nothing but pain and suffering. The woman, having gone through this with a previous child, knowing how bad it is, knows the only answer is to have an abortion.
Now this is the hardest decision she has ever had to make. Because the condition is rare and genetic, it takes time to get the test results back. It's getting close to the 2nd trimester. Should this woman, already distraught, have to go in front of a judge and plead for him to allow her and her doctor to make this choice?
This is just ONE example of that slippery slope that is the "pro-life" movement.
This choice needs to always be with a woman and her doctor and ONLY with the woman and her doctor.
