In reply to the discussion: Q for ‘Pro-Lifers’: How many kids have you ADOPTED from [View all]uppityperson
(116,020 posts)quite good (a) woman had an abortion literally days before she would have gone into labor". Is this right?
To be fair, every abortion is "days before she would have gone into labor". "days before" is too vague, can mean many different things. If you mean "the day before", that is different.
Do you agree with the choice of the woman in the story you linked to, our options were to deliver into the world a child who's life would be filled with horrible pain and suffering ?
I went back and read starting with your first post #14
" If we accept the moral premise of the pro-life crowd, that a fetus is indeed a life and aborting it is tantamount to murder, then the argument for abortion rests either on utilitarian "one murder is better than two deaths" reasoning or on a direct "ranking of lives" calculus -- i.e., a woman (or her doctor) should be able to decide that her own life is more precious than her child's.
Either way is morally problematic and your question is not going to dissuade a genuinely thoughtful pro-lifer."
Are you saying that talking with a "genuinely thoughtful pro-lifer", that asking about the pregnant woman's life, what that is worth, will mean nothing? Or that 1 vs 2 deaths is worthless?
