“I have no idea what you see differently.”
After thinking a bit, you are probably right in that the life of the mother took precedence.
However, since then (the early 70s), that now includes not only her life, but her psychology, and her mental state.
The mother can claim to be depressed over the situation and have an abortion.
That is the difference.
Well that is what the fight is about and why I have posted what I did at #594 hundreds of times in the last four years. I think it pretty well shows how things have changed and how petty and selfish the reasons for abortions are.
