The new legislation makes no allowances for women whose lives are endangered by the pregnancy. So, if you're past 14 weeks and you are faced with dying or aborting, you can kiss yourself goodbye!

Progress??
Soledad, you are right, there is arguement for that kind of allowance.

But I'd like to ask a question to all the moms out there. I am not a mother nor have I ever been pregnant, so this is purely an inquisitive question. If you are a pregnant woman carrying a child you want to have would you abort the child if you were in danger? Clearly, that is the sensible choice, but I'm just asking from the point of view of a mother protecting her child. Is it not true that the mother/child bond is that of life and death. Won't most any mother lay down her life to save her child? If that is the case, how does that fall into the arguement of abortions to save the life of the mother?
