To Jude -
At the present time, in first world countries, there are very few women who die from pregnancy or childbirth.
Some conditions that can be fatal are HELLPS, toxemia (with its attendant skyrocketing blood pressure), and gestational diabetes.
If none of those were the case with you, then it must have been just extremely poor health and I'm sorry to hear that.
However,
Your generalizations about the people who wish to restrict abortion are risible.
For your information, the majority of prolifers are women.
And in the United States at the current time, roughly half of all Americans agree that abortion should be restricted to life or grave health of the mother, rape, and incest.
Also, your comments bear only obliquely on the discussion,
why?
Because "elective abortion" means abortion which is NOT medically indicated.
Hope this helps. |
