How can the church and government have such rigid thoughts? My late sister-in-law was in the same situation back the in the 1960's. She also had lupus and kidney problems and was pregnant with her 3rd child. The doctors told her the baby would not live and she might die, too. She didn't want the abortion, but the doctor told her she had two living children she needed to think about them growing up without a mother. She lived to be 45 years old and died of kidney failure. She told me one time, that a day never went by that she didn't think of the baby girl she lost.

I get so mad when I hear politicians and religious leaders speak against having abortions when they have never had to deal with situations where it is necessary.
