When it comes to pregnancies there is always the tinge of selfishness there. In this day and age no one has to become pregnant, as to keeping the tribe, community, nation, or species alive. If one plans children it is at the whim and pleasure of the woman or couple. Even if it is a high-risk pregnancy because of health dangers the mother is willing to take or health issues the child might be born with, or for any other reason that would make it high-risk, the end result is a new life. Ending a pregnancy is also selfish, in a sense one did the crime but don’t want to do the time. If there is no health to the mother carrying the child or birthing him/her, it has a selfish stain to end it (let’s not even sink to the rape thing, I say don’t punish the child for the sins of the father), such as being unwilling to augment one’s life for the life created out of self-pleasure with another person seeking same; the end result is the end of a life, which is death. Which selfishness is better, one ending in life, or one ending in death?
