VOLFAN calls for a measurement: My point is... where do u draw the line? 5 months? 6 months?
SH: Best part is that neither "you" nor "I" have to draw the line.
The only people involved are the pregnant female and her phsycians.
Don't know about you, but I've got enough on my plate without getting into the personal medical decisions of the over 10,000 American females a day who get pregnant.
The only people involved are the pregnant female and her phsycians.
An abortion affects more than the pregnant woman - it affects everyone in her family to one dgree or another.
What about the father? What about the rest of the family? Do they have no input into the decision the pregnant woman makes?
You mention the womans physician as though the Dr has a clue or even a care about this woman and her overall welfare. Most doctors don't know or give a damn about anything beyond their specialty.
And you casually discount the womans family - those who would care for her mental and physical well being - those who would be there in her moments of need.
I know several older women who bemoan their decisions to have an abortion. They made a decision to abort their unborn child; they have to live with that decision for the rest of their lives and it is an ache in their heart that they will take to the grave.
My wife once had a miscarriage - and she still cries about the unborn child we lost. Can you imagine what the decision to have an abortion can do to a womans mental state?
The decision will always be the womans - she has to live with that decision today, tomorrow and for the rest of her life.
That woman should always consult her family because they will always tell her the best and the worst of that decision. They know her and have the experience to tell her the ins and outs of such a momentous decision.
