@Yellowdog What if the mother is addicted to drugs? What if the mother caught rubella during pregnancy? What if the mother had to take medicine known to disfigure a fetus?
Most third world countries abortion is illegal, or significantly restricted. Most of Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. They are Catholic and Muslim countries, do you really think they are going to be ok with abortion? When my SIL’s friend found out her baby had Downs Syndrome, she came to America for her abortion, because she couldn’t get one in Dom Rep. Abortion is completely illegal there if I remember correctly. It just doesn’t exist, except for when it is literally a choice between mother and child, and I think the mother needs to be bleeding out on the table for them to even entertain the idea. I find that terrifying. I would not feel confident they save the mother. If it is true that the babies are thrown out (God forbid) maybe that is because the women can’t get abortions.
What pro-life seems to overlook is they talk about how many pregnancies are aborted, but they for some reason think there will be fewer unwanted pregnancies if abortion is illegal. There will still be thousands of unwanted pregnancies, and so there will be thousands of babies born into bad circumstances, and also thousands of women getting unsafe abortions.
