<<But I try to look at the mother's point of view, not just my point of view.


Why not look at it from the baby's point of view? The baby, that you claim is "already learning," is being murdered. Not sure how you can advocate murdering a baby that you admit is "already learning.">>

I don't debate that topic. It would sort of be like debating which one of the children Sophie should have given up. When the mother's life is in danger and it comes down to saving either the mother or the baby, we choose the mother. That is a hard existential choice.

I won't defend abortion, but I also will not debate it. The majority of women want abortion to remain legal and so I take their side. But don't think for a second it is an easy decision.
