It was a fumbling spur of the moment jesture, my FRiend. But raybbr deserves respect for being so open and forthright in stating beliefs so person to him/her. And after all, the intent of the author of this article likely was hoping to generate reasonable debate through the use of hyperbole-laden writing. I know I certainly desire such when I write a pro-life essay.
That said, I agree with you that there are just reasons to allow termination of pregnancies, but such just cause must--for the sake of rightness--not make an automatic death sentence upon an innocent alive other human being if there is any way to avoid the death of the innocent.
A pregnancy that threatens to kill the mother must remain the right of the mother to terminate--to save her own life--else our common law heritage of self-defense means little when pressed to adjudicate rightly for the ultimate benefit of the innocent in society.
